This European Standard shall be given the status

30、of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by April 2009, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by October 2011. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject

31、of patent rights. CEN and/or CENELEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. This document supersedes EN ISO 10993-7:1995. This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the European Free Trade Association, and support

32、s essential requirements of EC Directives. For relationship with EC Directives, see informative Annexes ZA and ZB, which are an integral part of this document. NOTE : The Essential Requirements of the Medical Devices Directives require that risks be reduced or eliminated as far as possible and, spec

33、ifically, that risks posed by residues be minimized and risks posed by substances leaking from a device be reduced to a minimum. It is inherent in these Essential Requirements that, within the maximum limits specified by this standard, exposure to a genotoxic carcinogen should be reduced to levels a

34、s low as reasonably practicable, taking account of the generally acknowledged state of the art, the technological level existing at the time of design and technical and economic considerations compatible with a high level of health and safety. According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the n

35、ational standards organizations of the following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norwa

37、nts for the development, validation and routine control of an ethylene oxide sterilization process for medical devices are given in International Standards developed by ISO/TC 198. Certain requirements relating to medical devices for biological testing, selection of tests, and the allocation of devi

38、ces to categories are dealt with in a variety of International Standards developed by ISO/TC 194. The specific requirement for ethylene oxide and other sterilization process residuals was referred to ISO/TC 194. Other International Standards delineate particular requirements for biological testing f

39、or specific products. As noted in the introduction to ISO 11135-1:2007, when determining the suitability of ethylene oxide (EO) for sterilization of medical devices, it is important to ensure that the levels of residual EO, ethylene chlorohydrin (ECH) and ethylene glycol (EG) pose a minimal risk to

40、the patient in normal product use. Therefore, it is important that the use of alternative materials and sterilization processes be considered during product design and development. EO is known to exhibit a number of biological effects. In the development of this part of ISO 10993, consideration was

41、given to these effects, which include irritation, organ damage, mutagenicity and carcinogenicity in humans and animals, and reproductive effects in animals. Similar consideration was given to the harmful effects of ECH and EG. In practice, for most devices, exposure to EO and ECH is considerably low

42、er than the maximum values specified in this part of ISO 10993. Moreover, when the choice for EO sterilization has been made, irrespective of the provisions of this part of ISO 10993, exposure to EO residues should be minimized. Requirements herein are in addition to the biological evaluation and te

43、sting requirements for each individually designed medical device as indicated in ISO 10993-1. The biological evaluation and testing requirements, combined with the EO-sterilization process residue limits, form the justification that an EO-sterilized device is acceptable for use. Maximum allowable re

44、sidues for ethylene chlorohydrin (ECH), when ECH has been found to be present in medical devices sterilized with EO, are also specified. Local effects (e.g., irritation) have been considered and are incorporated in the tolerable contact limit (TCL) as given in 4.3.5.2 and Annex G for EO, and in 4.3.

45、5.3 and Annex H for ECH. 4DIN EN ISO 10993-7:2009-02 EN ISO 10993-7:2008 (E)1 Scope This part of ISO 10993 specifies allowable limits for residual ethylene oxide (EO) and ethylene chlorohydrin (ECH) in individual EO-sterilized medical devices, procedures for the measurement of EO and ECH, and method

46、s for determining compliance so that devices may be released. Additional background, including guidance and a flowchart showing how this document is applied, are also included in the informative annexes. EO-sterilized devices that have no patient contact (e.g., in vitro diagnostic devices) are not c

47、overed by this part of ISO 10993. NOTE This part of ISO 10993 does not specify limits for ethylene glycol (EG). 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.
