Abstract
PURPOSE: To establish that a magnetic device designed for intravascular use can bind small iron particles in physiologic flow models.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: Uncoated iron oxide particles 50-100 nm and 1-5 µm in size were tested in a water flow chamber over a period of 10 minutes without a magnet (ie, control) and with large and small prototype magnets. These same particles and 1-µm carboxylic acid-coated iron oxide beads were likewise tested in a serum flow chamber model without a magnet (ie, control) and with the small prototype magnet.
RESULTS: Particles were successfully captured from solution. Particle concentrations in solution decreased in all experiments (P < .05 vs matched control runs). At 10 minutes, concentrations were 98% (50-100-nm particles in water with a large magnet), 97% (50-100-nm particles in water with a small magnet), 99% (1-5-µm particles in water with a large magnet), 99% (1-5-µm particles in water with a small magnet), 95% (50-100-nm particles in serum with a small magnet), 92% (1-5-µm particles in serum with a small magnet), and 75% (1-µm coated beads in serum with a small magnet) lower compared with matched control runs.
CONCLUSIONS: This study demonstrates the concept of magnetic capture of small iron oxide particles in physiologic flow models by using a small wire-mounted magnetic filter designed for intravascular use.
