DIN EN 556-2:2015-11 EN 556-2:2015 (E) 4 Introduction Medical devices designated STERILE are prepared using appropriate and validated methods. Whenever possible, sterile medical devices ar

29、e terminally-sterilized using a properly validated and controlled sterilization process (see EN 556-1, EN ISO 11135, EN ISO 11137-1, EN ISO 14160, EN ISO 14937, EN ISO 17665-1, EN ISO 20857 and EN ISO 25424). When a medical device is intended to be sterile but cannot be terminally-sterilized, asepti

30、c processing is the method of manufacture (see EN ISO 13408-1). Aseptic processing necessitates that either: a) the entire product is sterilized and then introduced into a sterilized package; or b) components of the product are sterilized, then further processed/assembled, and the final product pack

31、ed into a sterilized package. Processing/assembly and packaging are carried out in a manner that minimizes the opportunity for items to become re-contaminated by carrying out these operations in a controlled environment in which microbial and particulate levels are maintained at or below defined lim

32、its and human intervention is minimized. NOTE EN ISO 15223-1 specifies the label applied to aseptically processed medical devices as STERILE A. DINEN 556-2:2015-11EN 556-2:2015(E)5 1 Scope This European Standard specifies the requirements for an aseptically processed medical device to be designated

33、STERILE. NOTE For the purpose of the EU Directive(s) for medical devices (see Bibliography), designating that a medical device is STERILE is permissible when a validated manufacturing and sterilization process has been applied. Requirements for validation and routine control of aseptic processes are

34、 specified in EN ISO 13408-1. Specific requirements for the aseptic processing of solid medical devices and combination products are specified in ISO 13408-7. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for it
