1 Practical Guidance in Selecting Materials for Product Functionality Byron J. Lambert, Ph.D. Fellow, Sterilization Science Abbott Vascular Temecula, CA USA
2 Agenda 1. Material Compatibility Guidance 2. Protocol Guidance 3. Industry Guidance
3 1. Material Compatibility Guidance A. Build on fundamentals The foundation of successful sterilization strategies are the fundamentals of radiation chemistry and biochemistry: Radiation yields (G-values) Direct vs indirect effects Free radical species & scavengers Oxygen effects Moisture effects Thermal effects
4 Guidance can only give general rules of thumb (based on fundamentals like those presented by Dr. Parsons) Irradiate in the solid / frozen state, when feasible, to avoid secondary chemistry Select appropriate scavengers when irradiating in the liquid state to minimize degradation outside the cell

13 Experiments can optimize the application and processing range of a combination device drug* 1) Is secondary chemistry important? t? 2) Is the release polymer important? 3) Is oxygen or water important? 4) Is temperature important? * You also need to answer a similar list of questions to unravel radiation effects on the device and on the release polymer
14 1. Material Compatibility Guidance B. Leverage existing guidance Relative radiation stability medical device polymeric materials - AAMI TIR17 Rules of thumbs General principles

16 1. Material Compatibility Guidance C. Responsible shelf-life lif estimation Medical Device Accelerated Aging (AAMI TIR ; ASTM F ) Pharmaceutical Accelerated Stability (ICH Guidelines)
17 1. Material Compatibility Guidance D. ESR Radical stability Answers question: have free radical active species from the radiation sterilization process finished reacting? Provides confidence going into aging studies that degradation rates are representative

21 1. Material Compatibility Guidance EG E. Gamma vs E-beam Eb ISO 11137, Sterilization of health care products Radiation, groups gamma, e-beam and x-ray sterilization modalities Gamma sterilization is approximately 90% of the market; X-ray is a negligible fraction of the market
22 E-beam: Mechanism of Energy Deposition by High henergy Electrons MeV electrons are blasted into material Energy is deposited through glancing ionic interactions 60 ev is lost during each ionic interaction until the electron runs out of energy e - 60 ev
23 Gamma: Mechanism of Energy Deposition by Co-60 gamma rays 1.25 MeV gamma rays are blasted into material Energy is deposited through Compton Scattering 0.5 MeV recoil electrons Ionic interactions of high energy electrons are again the primary mode of energy deposition
24 Gamma & E-beam - same mechanism of energy deposition Differences between Gamma and E-beam Penetration is different Dose rate is different Material Compatibility For many materials material compatibility is equivalent For borderline materials, dose rate makes a difference: Oxidative degradation: 4 hour process vs 4 second process Temperature: short spike in temperature during e-beam vs long elevation of temperature during gamma
25 Agenda 1. Material Compatibility Guidance 2. Protocol Guidance 3. Industry Guidance
26 2. Protocol Guidance A. Clinical Stresses Case Study # 1 PTFE is on the bottom of everyone s list of radiation compatible materials An e-beam sterilized PTFE coating on a stainless steel wire does not fail What are the clinically relevant stresses? CaseStudy#2 Polyamide / Polyether blends are relatively high on the list of radiation compatible materials An e-beam sterilized polyester blend balloon catheter fails because design requirements for wall thickness are severe.
27 B. Clinically relevant testing - basic mechanical and micro and nano-scale characterization for controlled release of pharmaceutical & biologic agents 1. Drug distribution and coating thickness uniformity using imaging FTIR 4. Thermal transition and analysis using μta 2. Surface ace(swelling) analysis ayssusing 5. Chemical component, structure, and AFM conformation using LCR, ATR, FTIR, and NMR 3. Microstructure and phase dispersion using AFM and LCR
28 2. Protocol Guidance C. Screen early Dose ranging experiments (drug and delivery system) Temperature and environment Look for clues relative to the fundamentals E.g., Does drug degradation change in different matrices? This is a clue relative to primary vs secondary chemistry Note: rapid R&D sterilization allows for product iterations to be evaluated with the inclusion of the sterilization process
29 2. Protocol Guidance D. Evaluate full range of parameters Pi Primary parameter: Dose Secondary parameters: dose rate environment t( (oxygen and water) temperature additives
30 Experiments can optimize the application and processing range of a combination device drug 1) Is secondary chemistry important? 2) Is the release polymer important? 3) Is oxygen or water important? 4) Is temperature important?
