Речь идет о медицинских катетерах.
Что означает здесь Material-mediated Pyrogen Test? Просто проба на пирогенность материала (из которого катетер изготовлен)?

Заранее Благодарю.

The Material Mediated Pyrogen test evaluates the potential of a material to cause a pyrogenic response, or fever, when introduced into the blood.

Bacterial endotoxin contamination is most commonly associated with such an adverse effect; however, leachates of materials can cause similar febrile responses (material - mediated pyrogenicity). Material - mediated pyrogenicity assessment is typically included in biocompatibility assessment, while bacterial contamination and endotoxin - mediated pyrogenicity are issues related more to manufacturing processes than to biocompatibility of the device or material.
