Intended Use:
1. Applicability:
Determination of fluoride in all forms of infant, adult, and/or pediatric formula
(powders, ready-to-feed liquids, and liquid concentrates).
2. Analytical Technique:
Any analytical technique that meets the following method performance
requirements is acceptable.
3. Definitions:
Accuracy 1
The closeness of agreement between the average of an infinite number of replicate
measured quantity values and a reference quantity value.
Adult/Pediatric Formula
Nutritionally complete, specially formulated food, consumed in liquid form, which may constitute the sole source of nourishment 2 , made from any combination of milk, soy, rice, whey, hydrolyzed protein, starch, and amino acids, with and without intact
protein.
Fluoride
The anion or anionic salt compounds of fluoride (F-). CAS Number 16984-48-8.
Infant formula
Breast-milk substitute specially manufactured to satisfy, by itself, the nutritional requirements of infants during the first months of life up to the introduction of appropriate complementary feeding 3 , made from any combination of milk, soy, rice, whey, hydrolyzed protein, starch, and amino acids, with and without intact protein.
Limit of Quantitation (LOQ)
The minimum concentration or mass of analyte in a given matrix that can be reported
as a quantitative result
Repeatability
Variation arising when all efforts are made to keep conditions constant by using the same instrument and operator, and repeating during a short time period. Expressed as the repeatability standard deviation (SD r ); or % repeatability
relative standard deviation (%RSD r ).
