Biocompatibility Approvals• EPO-TEK® MED-HYB-353ND cured at 100mW/cm2 UV + 150°C for 30 min has been tested and is ISO 10993-5 certified (Cytotoxicity testing byMEM Elution methodology).

Sterilization Information• Epoxy performance is most influenced by surface preparation and cleanliness, overall process and handling, and finally proper curing selection. Whilebulk samples of MED-HYB-353ND may resist sterilization technologies such as autoclave steam, gaseous technologies, gamma radiation as well as liquid
disinfectants, the glue joints may differ. All users need to determine the suitability of MED-HYB-353ND for their given application.
• MED-HYB-353ND is generally regarded for resisting few cycles of ETO and gamma radiation and is anecdotally known for resisting large cycle counts ofautoclave.
