Biocompatibility evaluation of breathing gas pathways in healthcare applications-Evaluation and testing within a risk management process
医用呼吸气体通道的生物相容性评价
This document specifies:
— the general principles governing the biological evaluation within a risk management process of the gas pathways of a medical device, its parts or accessories, which are intended to provide respiratory care or supply substances via the respiratory tract to a patient in all environments;— the general categorization of gas pathways based on the nature and duration of their contact with the gas stream;— the evaluation of existing relevant data from all sources;— the identification of gaps in the available data set on the basis of a risk analysis;— the identification of additional data sets necessary to analyse the biological safety of the gas pathway;— the assessment of the biological safety of the gas pathway.
This document covers general principles regarding biocompatibility assessment of medical device materials, which make up the gas pathway, but does not cover biological hazards arising from any mechanical failure, unless the failure introduces a toxicity risk (e.g. by generating particulates). The other parts of ISO 18562 cover specific tests that address potentially hazardous substances that are added to the respirable gas stream and establish acceptance criteria for these substances.
This document addresses potential contamination of the gas stream arising from the gas pathways within the medical device, which might then be conducted to the patient.
This document applies over the expected service life of the medical device in normal use and takes into account the effects of any intended processing or reprocessing.Cross References:ISO 7396-1:2016ISO 14971:2007ISO 10993-1:2009ISO 18562-3ISO 18562-2ISO 10993-17:2002ISO 18562-4ISO 10993-13ISO 10993-15BS 5724-3.12ISO 10993-14ISO 10993-9IEC 60601-1:2005IEC 17025A1:2012ISO 16142-1:2016ISO 13485:2016Incorporates the following:Corrigendum, February 2020
