17、(the International Organization 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 comm
18、ittee has been established 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 electrote
19、chnical standardization. International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the memb
20、er bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote. Attention is drawn 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 identifyi
21、ng any or all such patent rights. ISO 11607-2 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 198, Sterilization of health care products. ISO 11607-1 and ISO 11607-2 cancel and replace ISO 11607:2003, which has been technically revised. ISO 11607 consists of the following parts, under the general title P
22、ackaging for terminally sterilized medical devices: Part 1: Requirements for materials, sterile barrier systems and packaging systems Part 2: Validation requirements for forming, sealing and assembly processes SANS 11607-2:2007This s tandard may only be used and printed by approved subscription and
23、freemailing clients of the SABS .ISO 11607-2:2006(E) ISO 2006 All rights reserved vIntroduction Medical devices delivered in a sterile state should be designed, manufactured and packed to ensure that they are sterile when placed on the market and remain sterile, under documented storage and transpor
24、t conditions, until the sterile barrier system is damaged or opened. Additionally, medical devices delivered in a sterile state should have been manufactured and sterilized by an appropriate, validated method. One of the most critical characteristics of a sterile barrier system and packaging system
25、for sterile medical devices is the assurance of sterility maintenance. The development and validation of packaging processes are crucial to ensure that sterile barrier system integrity is attained and will remain so until opened by the users of sterile medical devices. There should be a documented p
26、rocess validation program demonstrating the efficacy and reproducibility of all sterilization and packaging processes. Along with the sterilization process, some of the packaging operations that can affect sterile barrier system integrity are forming, sealing, capping or other closure systems, cutti
27、ng and process handling. This part of ISO 11607 provides the framework of activities and requirements to develop and validate the process used to make and assemble the packaging system. ISO 11607-1 and ISO 11607-2 are designed to meet the Essential Requirements of the European Medical Device Directi
28、ves. One significant barrier to harmonization was terminology. The terms “package”, “final package”, “final pack”, “primary pack”, and “primary package” all have different connotations around the globe and choosing one of these terms to be the harmonized basis for this part of ISO 11607 was consider
29、ed a barrier to successful completion of this document. As a result, the term “sterile barrier system” was introduced to describe the minimum packaging required to perform the unique functions required of medical packaging: to allow sterilization, to provide an acceptable microbial barrier, and to a
30、llow for aseptic presentation. “Protective packaging” protects the sterile barrier system, and together they form the packaging system. “Preformed sterile barrier systems” would include any partially assembled sterile barrier systems such as pouches, header bags or hospital packaging reels. The ster
31、ile barrier system is essential to ensure the safety of terminally sterilized medical devices. Regulatory authorities recognize the critical nature of sterile barrier systems by considering them as an accessory or a component of a medical device. Preformed sterile barrier systems sold to healthcare
32、facilities for use in internal sterilization are considered as medical devices in many parts of the world.

34、equirements for development and validation of processes for packaging medical devices that are terminally sterilized. These processes include forming, sealing, and assembly of preformed sterile barrier systems, sterile barrier systems and packaging systems. This part of ISO 11607 is applicable to in
35、dustry, to health care facilities, and wherever medical devices are packaged and sterilized. This part of ISO 11607 does not cover all requirements for packaging medical devices that are manufactured aseptically. Additional requirements may also be necessary for drug/device combinations. 2 Normative
