4 Requirements
4.1 Materials
4.1.1 Chemical composition of metal materials
Manufacturers of the metal materials that directly or indirectly contact with patients
shall explicitly indicate in any possible form, wherein the metal materials shall be
marked with grades and/or code as well as the requirements for materials' chemical
composition. The chemical composition of metal materials shall be verified by tests.
4.1.2 Biological compatibility
Materials that directly or indirectly contact with patients shall be conducted with
biological safety evaluation in accordance with the principles and requirements in GB/T
Sheaths and endoscopes or scope mounts or obturators shall meet the following
requirements after mounting.
