This document specifies tests for substances leached by liquid water condensing into 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 tests of this document are intended to quantify hazardous water-soluble substances that are leached from the MEDICAL DEVICE, its parts or ACCESSORIES by condensate and then conveyed by that liquid to the PATIENT. This document establishes acceptance criteria for these tests.
This document addresses potential contamination of the gas stream arising from the GAS PATHWAYS, which is then 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 reprocessingCross References:ISO 7396-1:2016ISO 10993-5ISO 18562-1:2017ISO 14971:2007ISO 10993-1ISO 10993-10ISO 10993-12:2012ISO 10993-18TS 10993-19ISO 10993-11ISO 10993-9ISO 10993-17ISO 10993-15TS 10993-20ISO 10993-4ISO 10993-16ISO 10993-13ISO 10993-6ISO 10993-3ISO 10993-2ISO 10993-14ISO 16142-1:2016ISO 10993-7Incorporates the following:Corrigendum, February 2020
