Is the SMC Series DN 1.2 Bulkhead Hose Socket, Acetal, No Valve compatible with medical-grade tubing and sterilization methods?

SMC Series DN 1.2 Bulkhead Hose Socket, Acetal, No Valve — compatibility summary: - Medical-grade tubing: The socket is intended for applications including medical blood handling, indicating design suitability for medical fluid transfer. Its small nominal size (DN 1.2 mm) and secure quick-connect mechanism make it appropriate for precision medical tubing connections. However, compatibility also depends on the specific tubing material (e.g., silicone, PVC, PTFE) and fitting dimensions; confirm tubing inner/outer diameters and material compatibility with acetal before use. - Sterilization methods: The body material is acetal (POM) with an operating temperature range of -40°C to +82°C. This allows resistance to many routine cleaning procedures but limits exposure to high-temperature sterilization: - Autoclaving (steam at ~121°C): Not acceptable—exceeds temperature limit and may deform acetal. - Dry heat sterilization: Not recommended if temperatures exceed +82°C. - Chemical sterilants (e.g., ethylene oxide, hydrogen peroxide plasma, certain disinfectants): May be acceptable, but verify chemical compatibility of acetal with the chosen sterilant and ensure no adverse effects on seals or connected tubing. - Gamma or electron-beam irradiation: Effects on acetal should be checked with manufacturer data; some polymers degrade under ionizing radiation. Recommendation: For medical or blood-handling use, confirm with SMC technical data and perform application-specific compatibility and sterilization validation (including tubing material, sterilization method, pressure/temperature cycles, and biocompatibility/cleanability requirements) before clinical deployment.

Does the SMC Series DN 1.2 Bulkhead Hose Socket, Acetal, No Valve meet ISO or FDA material standards for use in medical blood handling applications?

SMC Series DN 1.2 Bulkhead Hose Socket, Acetal, No Valve Format — based on the provided description, there is no explicit statement that the acetal material or the component meets ISO or FDA material standards for medical blood-handling applications. The description highlights intended applications (including medical blood handling), acetal construction, pressure and temperature ratings, and operational features, but does not reference compliance with specific ISO standards (e.g., ISO 13485, ISO 10993) or FDA material/biocompatibility approvals. Conclusion: Compliance with ISO or FDA standards cannot be confirmed from the given text. For definitive assurance, request manufacturer documentation or certificates specifying applicable ISO standards, FDA material acceptance, or biocompatibility test reports.

Additional information

Material	P – material (plastic)

The quick-connect socket with hose end, designed without a valve, is an advanced solution for demanding applications such as ink printing systems, medical blood handling, cooling fluids, or gas chromatography. Its innovative mechanism enables secure connection by simply twisting the two coupling parts against each other, while the distinct click sound confirms a reliable seal. Engineered for effortless one-handed operation, it ensures both convenience and safety in everyday use. Manufactured from durable acetal, the coupling guarantees long-lasting performance under working pressures up to 6.9 bar and within a wide temperature range from -40°C to +82°C. With a nominal size of DN 1.2 mm and compact overall length, it is perfectly suited for precision-driven environments where reliability and efficiency are crucial. For additional versatility, versions with an integrated valve and in elegant black color are also available, offering tailored solutions for diverse technical requirements.
