Indian StandardSPECIFICATION FOR

DISPOSABLE PLASTIC ARTIFICIALINSEMINATION PIPETTES FOR CATTLE

o. FORE WORD

0.1 This Indian Standard was adopted hy the Indian Standards Institutionon 4 December 1973, after the draft finalized by the Animal Housing andEquipment Sectional Committee had been approved hy the Agricultural andFood Products Division Council.0.2 For national livestock development programme, artificial insemination( AI ) technique is being increasingly used. A series of Indian Standards nil

AI equipment is being' issued for guidance of manufacturers and for safety ofcattle,

0.3 The 1110st important AI equipment is the inseminating pipette. Thesepipettes are made of different materials, such as glass and plastics. As glasspipettes require frequent sterilization and as imperfect sterilization may resultin the dissemination of diseases, disposable plastic AI pipettes have beenconsidered suitable. This standard, therefore, prescribes dimensions of plasticpipettes and specifies the quality of plastic, The standard also includessterilization procedure (see Appendix A ).

0.3.1 The curved anterior end of the plastic pipettes is not considerednecessary as these pipettes arc pliable and liable to bend during operation.The curved pipettes, therefore, have not been prescribed in this standard.0.4 For the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement of thisstandard is complied with, the final value, observed or calculated, expressingthe result of a test or analysis, shall be rounded off in accordance with IS:2-1960*. The number of significant places retained in the rounded off valueshould be the same as that of the specified value in this standard.

1. SCOPE

1.1 This standard prescribes the dimensions, material of construction andtest for pia-die AI pipettes.

If Rules for rounding off numerical values ( "vis,d).

3

IS: '7179 • 1913

2. TERMINOLOGY2.0 For the purpose of this standard, the following definitions shall apply.2.1 Anterio.. End - The pipette end which goes inside the genital organ,2.2 Chamfering - The surface produced hy bevelling an edge or corner.2.3 Lumen - Hollow tubular hole of the pipette.2.4 Posterior End - The pipette end which remains out and attached witha syringe.

3. TYPES3.1 Depending on the size, the plastic AI pipette shall be of the followingtwo types.

3.1.1 Long - The pipettes for cows and buffaloes shall be 420 ± 3 romlong.

3.1.2 Short - The pipette for inseminating heifers shall be 400 ± 3 romlong.

4. REQ,UIREMENTS4.1 Material- The pipette shaII be constructed Iiom food grade polystyreneor any plastic material of suitable chemical properties,4.1 Dimensions - The pipette shall con1ply with the dimensions given inl:i~. 1.

4.3 CODstructioD4.3.1 Anterior End - The anterior end shall be rounded with a radius of

approximately l'S rom externally and the bore shall be slightly chamfered a~

illustrated in l~ig. I.4.3.2 Posterior End - The posterior end of the plastic pipette shall be

finished at right angles to the access of the pipettes and the internal andexternal sharp edges shall be removed by slight chamfering.4.4 Finish - - The pipette shall he free from cracks, blisters and chippings.The entire body of the tube shall be well polished to give the pipette smoothfinish. The lumen shall he uniform throughout this length and shall he openat both ends.

5. PACKING AND MARKING5. t PackiDI-The plastic pipettes shall be packed individually in polyethy­lene. They may also be packed individually in multicornpartment packs insuch a way that each pipette is separable from the other without exposing therest of t hem,

S.I.I One millilitre gradation mark should be clearly indicated on thepipettes.

5.1.2 Each pipette may also be marked with the lSI Certification Mark.NOTE - The use of the lSI Certification Mark is governed by the provisions of

the Indian Standards Institu tion (Certification Marks ) Act and the Rules and Regu­lations made thereunder. The lSI mark 011 products covered by an Indian Standardconveys the assurance that they have been produced to comply with the requirementsof that standard under a well-defined system of inspection, testing ancl qualitycontrol which is devised and supervised by lSI and operated by the producer. lSImarked products are also continuously checked by lSI for conformity to that standardas a further safeguard. Details of conditions under which a licence for the use of thelSI Certification l\Iark may be granted to manufacturers or processors, may he

obtained from the Indian Standards Institution.

6. SAMPLING6.1 The representative samples of the material shall he drawn according toprocedure prescribed in Appendix B.

7. TESTS7.1 Visual Examination and Inspection -- Each pipette shall be examinedand inspected for general construction and marking requirements specified inthis standard.7.2 Test for Uniformity - Calculate the theoretical mass of pure mercurywhich could be filled in the pipette by the following formula:

mass in g = 'IT r21z X 13·6where

22'IT = 7'

r = radius in em,h == height in em, and

13-6 == density of mercury in gjcm'',Then fill in distilled mercury in a clean pipette and weigh the pipette. Thecalculated and weighed value should not vary hy more than :l percent.

APPENDIX A( Clause 0.3 )

STERILIZATION METHOD

A.l. PROCEDlJREA-I.l The pipettes manufactured should be washed thoroughly and airdried before packing them ill. polyethylene bags. The pipettes so packedshould he subjected to 2·5 ml{ dosage of gamma radiation which haspenetrating p()w~r through the parking. The above dosage of gammaradiation is considered standard dosage for complete sterilization.

8-1. SCALE OF SAMPLINGB-1..1 Lot- In any consignment, the pipettes of the same size, type andpreferably belonging to the saU1C hatch of manufacture shall be groupedtogether to constitute a lot.B-l.2 For ascertaining the conformity to the requirements of this specification,test shall be carried out separately for cac h lot.B-1.3 The number of pipettes to he sampled fr0 III a lot shall he inaccordance with Table I.

A pipette failing to comply anyone or more of theserequirements shall he called a defective. If the number of defectives in thesample is less than or equal to the permissible number of defectives given incol ~~ of Table I, the lot shall be declared as conforming to the requirements .of this specification.
