This document lays down requirements for the development and validation of packaging processes for medical devices that are sterilized in the final packaging. These processes include the forming, sealing and assembly of prefabricated sterile barrier systems, sterile barrier systems and packaging systems. It applies to industry, healthcare facilities and all other facilities where medical devices are packaged and sterilised. It does not cover all requirements for packaging of aseptically manufactured medical devices. Combinations of medicines and medical devices may require additional requirements.
This document lays down the general criteria for testing the sterility of medical devices undergoing sterilising treatment, which has been reduced compared to that expected to be used in routine sterilization procedures. These tests are provided for when a sterilisation process is defined, validated or maintained. This document shall not apply to: (a) the sterility test for the routine release of a product that has undergone a sterilisation procedure; (b) carrying out a sterility test; (c) checking sterility or testing for sterility to demonstrate the shelf life and stability of the product and/or the integrity of the packaging; and (d) the cultivation of biological indicators or infused products.
This part of ISO 14644 specifies minimum requirements for a monitoring plan for cleanroom or clean zone performance related to air cleanliness by particle concentration, based upon parameters that measure or affect airborne particle concentration. This part of ISO 14644 does not address condition monitoring of aspects such as vibration or general maintenance of the engineering systems. It does not provide for monitoring of particle populations that are outside the specified lower threshold particle-size range, 0,1 ªm to 5 ªm. Concentrations of ultrafine particles (particles smaller than 0,1ªm) are addressed in ISO 14644-12.
This part of ISO 14644 specifies requirements for the design and construction of cleanroom installations but does not prescribe specific technological or contractual means to meet these requirements. It is intended for use by purchasers, suppliers and designers of cleanroom installations and provides a checklist of important parameters of performance. Construction guidance is provided, including requirements for start-up and qualification. Basic elements of design and construction needed to ensure continued satisfactory operation are identified through the consideration of relevant aspects of operation and maintenance.
Application of this part of ISO 14644 is restricted in the following:
This document lays down requirements to implement, maintain and improve a management system to protect against disruptions, reduce the likelihood of their occurrence, prepare for them, respond to them and recover from them whenever they occur. The requirements set out in this document are of a general nature and are intended to apply to all organisations or parts of them, regardless of their nature, size or nature. The scope of application of these requirements depends on the operational environment and complexity of each organization. This document applies to all types and sizes of organisations wishing to: (a) implement, maintain and improve a BCMS; (b) to ensure consistency with the declared policy of maintaining operational capability; (c) need the ability to supply products and services ...
This document applies to the BASIC SAFETY and ESSENTIAL PERFORMANCE of PULSE OXIMETER EQUIPMENT intended for use on humans, hereafter referred to as ME EQUIPMENT. This includes any part necessary for NORMAL USE, including the PULSE OXIMETER MONITOR, PULSE OXIMETER PROBE, and PROBE CABLE EXTENDER. These requirements also apply to PULSE OXIMETER EQUIPMENT, including PULSE OXIMETER MONITORS, PULSE OXIMETER PROBES and PROBE CABLE EXTENDERS, which have been REPROCESSED. The intended use of PULSE OXIMETER EQUIPMENT includes, but is not limited to, the estimation of arterial oxygen haemoglobin saturation and pulse rate of PATIENTS in professional healthcare institutions as well as PATIENTS in the HOME HEALTHCARE ENVIRONMENT and the EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICES ENVIRONMENT. This document is not applicable to PULSE OXIMETER EQUIPMENT intended for use in laboratory research applications nor to oximeters that require a blood sample from the PATIENT. If a clause or subclause is specifically intended to be applicable to ME EQUIPMENT only, or to ME SYSTEMS only, the title and content of that clause or subclause will say so. If that is not the case, the clause or subclause applies both to ME EQUIPMENT and to ME SYSTEMS, as relevant. HAZARDS inherent in the intended physiological function of ME EQUIPMENT or ME SYSTEMS within the scope of this document are not covered by specific requirements in this document except in 201.11 and in 7.2.13 and 8.4.1 of the general standard. This document can also be applied to ME EQUIPMENT and their ACCESSORIES used for compensation or alleviation of disease, injury or disability. This document is not applicable to PULSE OXIMETER EQUIPMENT intended solely for foetal use. This document is not applicable to remote or slave (secondary) equipment that displays SpO2 values that are located outside of the PATIENT ENVIRONMENT. This document is applicable to PULSE OXIMETER EQUIPMENT intended for use under extreme or uncontrolled environmental conditions outside the hospital environment or physician’s office, such as in ambulances and air transport. Additional standards can apply PULSE OXIMETER EQUIPMENT for those environments of use. This document is a particular standard in the IEC 60601-1 and ISO/IEC 80601 series of standards.
This document defines terminology, principles, and a process for the risk management of medical devices, including software as a medical device and in vitro diagnostics.
