Printed in the United States of America ISBN 157020424-1 AAMI Technical Information Report A technical information report (TIR) is a publication of the Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation (AAMI) Standards Board that address

2、es a particular aspect of medical technology. Although the material presented in a TIR may need further evaluation by experts, releasing the information is valuable because the industry and the professions have an immediate need for it. A TIR differs markedly from a standard or recommended practice,

3、 and readers should understand the differences between these documents. Standards and recommended practices are subject to a formal process of committee approval, public review, and resolution of all comments. This process of consensus is supervised by the AAMI Standards Board and, in the case of Am

4、erican National Standards, by the American National Standards Institute. A TIR is not subject to the same formal approval process as a standard. However, a TIR is approved for distribution by a technical committee and the AAMI Standards Board. Another difference is that, although both standards and

5、TIRs are periodically reviewed, a standard must be acted onreaffirmed, revised, or withdrawnand the action formally approved usually every five years but at least every 10 years. For a TIR, AAMI consults with a technical committee about five years after the publication date (and periodically thereaf

6、ter) for guidance on whether the document is still usefulthat is, to check that the information is relevant or of historical value. If the information is not useful, the TIR is removed from circulation. A TIR may be developed because it is more responsive to underlying safety or performance issues t

7、han a standard or recommended practice, or because achieving consensus is extremely difficult or unlikely. Unlike a standard, a TIR permits the inclusion of differing viewpoints on technical issues. CAUTION NOTICE: This AAMI TIR may be revised or withdrawn at any time. Because it addresses a rapidly

8、 evolving field or technology, readers are cautioned to ensure that they have also considered information that may be more recent than this document. All standards, recommended practices, technical information reports, and other types of technical documents developed by AAMI are voluntary, and their

9、 application is solely within the discretion and professional judgment of the user of the document. Occasionally, voluntary technical documents are adopted by government regulatory agencies or procurement authorities, in which case the adopting agency is responsible for enforcement of its rules and

19、hether it will be confirmed for a further three years, revised to become an International Standard, or withdrawn. If the ISO/PAS or ISO/TS is confirmed, it is reviewed again after a further three years, at which time it must either be transformed into an International Standard or be withdrawn. Atten

21、l aspects for medical devices. This first edition of ISO/TS 19218-1, together with ISO/TS 19218-2, cancels and replaces ISO/TS 19218:2005, which has been technically revised. ISO/TS 19218 consists of the following parts, under the general title Medical devices Hierarchical coding structure for adver

22、se events: Part 1: Event-type codes The following part is under preparation: Part 2: Evaluation codes x 2011 Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation ANSI/AAMI/ISO TIR19218-1:2011 Introduction The adverse-event coding system specified in this part of ISO/TS 19218 envisages that med

23、ical device adverse-event reporting will originate from one of two sources: either the user or the manufacturer of the device concerned. In this context, users can be health care providers, but can also be the general public. This part of ISO/TS 19218 provides a structure by which an adverse-event t

24、ype can be used to collect medical device surveillance information in the post-market phase. It also enables this information to be easily exchanged on an international basis using the common codes. This part of ISO/TS 19218 can be used by the users, manufacturers and regulatory authorities in the f

25、ollowing ways: users can report, to a manufacturer or a regulatory body, a code number to describe an adverse event that will be universally understood; manufacturers and regulatory authorities can easily recognize universally understood adverse-event types, which can be globally recognized by regul

26、atory authorities; in addition, both users and manufacturers can apply these codes as part of a medical device surveillance or reporting system. 2011 Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation ANSI/AAMI/ISO TIR19218-1:2011 1 AAMI Technical Information Report ANSI/AAMI/ISO TIR19218-1:

27、2011Medical devices Hierarchical coding structure for adverse events Part 1: Event-type codes 1 Scope This part of ISO/TS 19218 specifies requirements for a hierarchical coding structure for describing adverse events relating to medical devices. The codes are intended for use by medical device users

28、, manufacturers, regulatory authorities, health care facilities and other organizations. The codes can be used for coding events that are not related to death or serious injury, or malfunctions that could lead to death or serious injury. This part of ISO/TS 19218 is not intended to be used to decide

29、 whether an incident is reportable or not. 2 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply. 2.1 adverse event event associated with a medical device that led to death or serious injury of a patient, user or other person, or that might lead to deat

30、h or serious injury of a patient, user or other person if the event recurs NOTE 1 This definition is consistent with guidance in GHTF/SG2/N54/R8:20067. NOTE 2 This definition includes malfunction or deterioration of a device which has not yet caused death or serious injury, but which could lead to d

31、eath or serious injury. 2.2 serious injury serious deterioration in a state of health that constitutes either a life-threatening illness or injury, or a permanent impairment of a body function or permanent damage to a body structure, or a condition necessitating medical or surgical intervention to p

32、revent permanent impairment of a body function or permanent damage to a body structure NOTE 1 The term “permanent” means irreversible impairment or damage to a body structure or function, excluding minor impairment or damage. NOTE 2 This definition is consistent with guidance in GHTF/SG2/N21/R8:1999

33、5. 2.3 intended use intended purpose objective intent of the manufacturer regarding the use of a product, as reflected in the specifications, instructions or information provided by the manufacturer NOTE This definition is consistent with GHTF/SG1/N41/R9:20054. 2 2011 Association for the Advancement

34、 of Medical Instrumentation ANSI/AAMI/ISO TIR19218-1:2011 3 Adverse-event-type code requirements The adverse-event-type code characterizes the observed use/malfunction/failure of the medical device at the time the event occurred. The code shall be a four-digit numerical code selected from Table 1. N

35、OTE 1 The single code that most closely describes the adverse event can be used. However, multiple codes can sometimes be necessary to fully describe an adverse event. NOTE 2 The adverse-event-type code can be useful in describing the hazard presented by an adverse event. It can also be useful in “u

36、ser reporting systems”. When combined with the adverse-event evaluation code (from ISO/TS 19218-2), the adverse event is better characterized. NOTE 3 The adverse-event-type codes chosen to describe the adverse event at the time of the event reflect the most up-to-date assessment of the adverse event

37、 and can take into account any additional information learned between occurrence of the event and submission of the report. 4 Adverse-event-type codes Table 1 specifies adverse-event-type codes.
