20、ization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been establish

21、ed has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.

22、 International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 3. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of

23、the member bodies casting a vote. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this International Standard may be the subject of patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. International Standard ISO 16021 was prepared by Tech

ENISO16021:2000 ISO 12061:(0002)Ev Introduction This International Standard provides basic principles for conducting user evaluation of single-use, body-wo

25、rn urine- absorbing aids by adult incontinent users, their caregivers, or both. It gives guidance in the understanding of product performance in actual use and hence can be used when making purchasing or reimbursement decisions, or both, from among a variety of products whose performance characteris

26、tics vary. The focus of this International Standard is on the basic principles, which should be considered for evaluation of a single product in actual use. Where several products are to be evaluated, the procedure suggested should be applied to each, although the exact evaluation protocol used migh

27、t vary, based on the unique characteristics of each product, the population of users being used for the evaluation, or both. The comparison of user evaluation data obtained in evaluating several products is statistically complex and highly dependent upon the information desired from the evaluation,

28、the differences between or among products, and the size of the user population used in the evaluation, to mention only three important factors. Direct comparison between products based on statistical parameters is not covered by this International Standard. It is essential that those wishing to make

29、 statistically robust comparisons between different products consult a medical statistician for advice on, for example, the number of evaluation subjects they should recruit and randomizing the order of evaluating different products. This International Standard draws on a French national standard Q3

35、 perspective of users and caregivers 1 Scope This International Standard provides guidelines for designing and conducting a user evaluation of single-use adult- incontinence-absorbing aids. It provides guidance on creating data collection tools. In particular, it provides a framework for eliciting a

36、nd recording the views of users and their carers on product performance. In addition, an optional approach for establishing the leakage performance and wear times of products and the mass of urine in them is described. This International Standard does not cover direct comparison between products bas

37、ed on statistical parameters. 2 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this International Standard, the following terms and definitions apply (in alphabetical order). 2.1 caregiver person who assists user(s) with applying and changing incontinence products NOTE Caregivers may be paid staff or fam

38、ily/friends. 2.2 ethics committee body whose role is to protect the interests of evaluation subjects particularly in institutions by inspecting proposed evaluation protocols NOTE Ethics committee permission is normally required before an evaluation can begin. 2.3 evaluation centre coordinator person

39、 in charge of the evaluation in a given centre 2.4 principal investigator person in overall charge of an evaluation 2.5 product body-worn absorbent product intended to aid incontinent persons NOTE Further information regarding products and product types is given in ISO 9949-2 and ISO 9949-3. 2.6 pro

40、duct line group of similar products provided by a manufacturer/supplier which have similar construction but which differ from one another in such details as size or absorbency level ENISO16021:2000 ISO 12061:(0002)E 2 2.7 user person who wears the product(s) subject to evaluation 3 Creating the eval

41、uation protocol 3.1 Questionnaires This evaluation employs a series of questionnaires designed to collect users/caregivers observations and opinions on aspects of the performance of an incontinence product, or several products, over an agreed period of time. Further questionnaires are used to ascert

42、ain the age and health of the user, the severity of their incontinence and other relevant background information. The information entered on the questionnaires is processed for each user and each product tested at the end of the evaluation period and is used to produce a report on the performance of

43、 each product in terms of the level of satisfaction of the users. This International Standard does not provide a standard protocol, since objectives for running evaluations, user populations, evaluation sites, products, and specific data of interest vary widely. Instead, it lists the primary issues,

44、 which should be considered in creating a protocol, along with guidelines on how to address them. A record of the decisions made on these issues should be included in the evaluation report (see 7). NOTE Some lists of issues to be considered in writing questionnaires and other documentation are provi

45、ded, but users of this International Standard are cautioned against using any of them exactly as found here without first verifying their usefulness for the intended study. 3.2 Selection of products The products (2.5) or product lines (2.6) to be evaluated should be selected. Consideration should be

46、 given to obtaining samples from multiple production batches in order to randomize the selection and reduce the impact of atypical results emanating from, say, a faulty batch. 3.3 Selection of users A group of users appropriate to the product to be evaluated should be selected in accordance with the

47、 manufacturers intended use, as described in their sales literature. The severity of users incontinence should be matched to the absorbency of the product(s) as declared by the manufacturer. NOTE 1 In order to make a good match between users and products it may be useful to establish the absorption

48、requirements of potential evaluators by weighing their used pads over a period of several days. Sample populations should be of distinct end-user groups. Users should be chosen from either institutions or home settings but not both since practices, requirements and priorities often differ. NOTE 2 Users in their own homes may manage their incontinence independently or rely on help from caregivers. It is advisable to sel
