25、ber 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 established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmen

26、tal 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.The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance

27、are described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. www.iso.org/directivesAttention is drawn

28、 to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.

31、TS 16775:2014ISO/TS 16775:2014(E)IntroductionSterile barrier systems need to ensure the sterility of their contents until opened for use and ensure aseptic presentation.The sterile barrier system, depending on conditions of handling, distribution or storage, may provide adequate protection for the s

32、terile medical device. In circumstances where the packaged and sterilized device undergoes repeated handling, additional protective packaging may need to be combined with the sterile barrier system to create a packaging system.Each establishment should evaluate the performance of each sterile barrie

33、r system or packaging system before selection and implementation to ensure conditions for sterilization, storage, and handling can be met. Each establishment that manages sterile items should have a documented plan of education on how to store, handle and transport sterile items.Regional differences

34、 in quality management systems and other requirements exist and these might involve different approaches to human resource management. In any case however a sound education process is a key element and facilities should ensure that its personnel are aware of the relevance and importance of their pac

35、kaging and sterilization activities for the safety of the patient.ISO 11607-1 specifies the requirements for materials, sterile barrier systems, and packaging systems, including the qualification of the packaging system design and evaluation of that design, ISO 11607-2 specifies the requirements for

36、 packaging process validation. Both of these documents provide standards to ensure medical device protection, the ability to sterilize, maintenance of sterile package integrity and aseptic presentation. The scope of each of these standards applies to health care facilities and wherever medical devic

37、es are packaged and sterilized. It is recognized that the circumstances of the application of these standards will be different when they are used in a health care facility from when they are used by a medical device manufacturer or reprocessor.The conditions of use of this guidance may vary widely

38、around the world. ISO 11607-1 and ISO 11607-2 and this guidance document provide a guideline for use, subject to interpretation by circumstance and regulatory environments. In some regions of the world health care facility compliance to the series ISO 11607 is a national or regional regulatory requi

39、rement, in some regions the series ISO 11607 is considered guidance for health care facilities. For instance, it is recognized that in certain regions or regulatory applications conformance to ISO 11607-1 may be demonstrated but not conformance to ISO 11607-2, which requires process validation by th

40、e user. In other regions, where compliance to both ISO 11607-1 and ISO 11607-2 is a national regulatory requirement, this document will also provide guidance on performing validation. Clause 3 of this guidance document is applicable to health care facilities and Clause 4 is applicable to industry. F

41、urther guidance is given in Annexes A to S that may be applicable to health care facilities and/or industry, as indicated.In Europe ISO 11607-1 assists the conformity assessment procedure for manufacturers and is designed and used as a tool for demonstrating compliance with the relevant essential re

42、quirements of the Medical Device Directive. Compliance with the standard is always voluntary.At the time of publication of this document, Amendments to ISO 11607-1 and ISO 11607-2 are in the ballot process. This guidance document already considers the revised versions with the understanding that spe

43、cific references to numbering may have changed.

44、607-1 and ISO 11607-21 ScopeThis Technical Specification provides guidance for the application of the requirements contained in ISO 11607-1 and ISO 11607-2. It does not add to, or otherwise change, the requirements of ISO 11607-1 and/or ISO 11607-2. This is an informative document, not normative. It

45、 does not include requirements to be used as basis of regulatory inspection or certification assessment activities.The guidance can be used to better understand the requirements of ISO 11607-1 and/or ISO 11607-2 and illustrates some of the variety of methods and approaches available for meeting the

46、requirements of those International Standards. It is not required that this document be used to demonstrate compliance with them.Guidelines are given for evaluation, selection and use of packaging materials, preformed sterile barrier systems, sterile barrier systems and packaging systems. Guidance o

47、n validation requirements for forming, sealing and assembly processes is also given.This Technical Specification provides information for health care facilities (see Clause 3) and for the medical devices industry (see Clause 4).It does not provide guidance for applications of packaging materials and

48、 systems after their opening. In the use of packaging for other purposes such as a “sterile field” or transport of contaminated items, other regulatory standards will apply.2 Terms and definitionsFor the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions given in ISO 11607-1 and ISO 11607-2 and th

However, if the sterile barrier system protects the medical device, facilitates aseptic presentation, and is resilient enough not to require additional protective packaging, the sterile barrier system would also fulfil the requirements of a packaging system.
