ISO 10993, US FDA, and USP Class I-VI Medical Devices Statement
HP 3D600 Fusing and Detailing Agents and HP 3D HR PA11
Original HP 3D600/3D700 Fusing and Detailing Agents and HP 3D HR PA11 material (“HP Agents & PA11
Material”) have undergone the following tests at a certified third-party laboratory:
1. Cytotoxicity – ISO 10993-5, Biological evaluation of medical devices – part 5: Tests for in vitro
cytotoxicity. The test article extract showed no evidence of causing lysis or toxicity. The test article
extract met the requirements of the test.
2. Sensitization and irritation – ISO 10993-10, Biological evaluation of medical devices – Part 10: Tests
for irritation and skin sensitization.
a. The test article extracts showed no evidence of causing delayed dermal contact sensitization
in the guinea pig. The test article was not considered a sensitizer in the guinea pig test.
b. The test article met the requirements of the intracutaneous injection in rabbits with test
article extracts of 0.9% sodium chloride USP solution and sesame oil, NF.
3. Acute systemic toxicity – ISO 10993-11, Biological evaluation of medical devices – Part 11: Tests for
systemic toxicity. There was no mortality or evidence of systemic toxicity from the extracts of 0.9%
sodium chloride USP solution and sesame oil, NF injected into mice. Each test article extract met the
requirements of the study.
4. Muscle implantation - USP, General Chapter <88>, Biological Reactivity Tests, In vivo – Muscle
implantation. The test article was implanted for seven days and the implanted test article met the USP
requirements.
5. Pyrogenicity – USP, General Chapter <151>, Pyrogen test. Recommended in ISO 10993-11, Biological
evaluation of medical devices – Part 11: Tests for systemic toxicity. The total rise of rabbit
temperatures during the 3-hour observation period was within acceptable USP requirements. The test
article met the requirements for the absence of pyrogens.
The results from the above-referenced testing are representative of parts produced on the HP Jet Fusion 3D
4200/4210 printers over the range of available printmodes with HP Agents & PA11 Material. HP 3D HR PA11
fresh and recycled (70% recycled/30% fresh) material was used for the Cytotoxicity, Sensitization, Irritation, and
Acute Systemic Toxicity tests. HP 3D HR PA11 100% fresh powder was used for the Muscle Implantation test.
HP 3D HR PA11 recycled (70% recycled/30% fresh) material was used for the Pyrogenicity test. The only post
processing that the parts underwent were sand blasting, a soak in isopropanol for 30 minutes, and a rinse in
deionized water.
Material under recommended operating conditions as per the site preparation guide will meet the testing stated
above.
2-pyrrolidone (2P) (CAS No. 616-45-5) is present in the 3D600/3D700 Fusing and Detailing Agents at <20% and

It is the responsibility of each customer to determine that its use of HP Agents and PA11 material is safe and
technically suitable to the customer’s intended applications and consistent with the relevant regulatory
requirements (including FDA requirements) applicable to the customer’s final product. HP PA11 powder is not
intended to be used in medical device applications that constitute a non-temporary implant (i.e., that, in whole
or in part, may be in contact with a patient’s skin, body fluids or tissues for more than 30 days.) Customers
should conduct their own testing to ensure that this is the case. Results may vary if the testing is performed
under different conditions than those existing at HP’s laboratories at testing time and those that applied for the
purposes of the biocompatibility tests as referenced above. Because of possible changes in the relevant
industry standards, FDA guidance, and other legal or regulatory requirements, as well as possible changes in HP
Agents and PA11 material, HP cannot guarantee that the status of HP Agents and PA11 powder will remain
unchanged or that it will qualify and or comply with ISO 10993, US FDA’s guidance or USP Class I-VI Certification
for any particular use.

the chemical composition of the printed parts and did not focus on physical requirements such as choking
hazards. It is the responsibility of each customer to conduct their own testing to ensure that physical,
mechanical, flammability, microbiological, acoustic, electrical, temperature, magnetism, and other relevant
requirements for toys are met for their final product. Results may vary if the testing is performed under
different conditions than those existing at HP’s laboratories at testing time and those that applied for the

Customers expect safe particle release behavior from their HP Jet Fusion 3D printing solutions. Evaluation
needs to include different particle types potentially emitted – in particular fine and ultrafine particles. Indicative
testing demonstrates that HP devices provide a high level of safety.
Fine dust emissions are negligible
Emissions of HP Jet Fusion 3D printing solutions in the fine particles size range of 0.3 to 10.0 micrometers (µm)
are well below below a variety of mandatory and voluntary environmental requirements, as indicative testing
has shown.
When compared against mandatory occupational limits and toxicologically based indoor air guide values,
devices are far below relevant values. For example, the devices meet the fine particles criteria of the Germany
AGW
expected when the devices are used and maintained as intended.

precautionary guide value of the German Blue Angel.
And due to the UFPs’ volatile nature, they do not hold
Particle numbers lie well below the
the health hazardous potential associated with the solid consistency of particles in the ultrafine size range.
Based on these observations, no health risks due to UFP release by HP Jet Fusion 3D printers have to be
expected under reasonably foreseeable conditions of use as well.
Larger particles uncritical from a safety perspective
Particles with an average diameter of more than 10 µm generally have a lower exposure potential due to the
propensity of these particles dripping out of the air. And, if inhaled, particles of this size are deposited in the
upper regions of the human respiratory tract where they are subject to efficient clearance mechanisms. In
addition to these physical considerations, the inherent chemical properties of the HP 3D materials do not
indicate a health risk as they are not classified or labelled as hazardous according to the Globally Harmonized
system of classification and Labelling of chemicals (GHS)
