16、SO 8871-4:2006ii iiiForeword ISO (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 s
17、ubject for which a technical committee 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
18、(IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical 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 comm
19、ittees are circulated to the member 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
20、be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. ISO 8871-4 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 76, Transfusion, infusion and injection equipment for medical and pharmaceutical use. This first edition, together with parts 1, 2, 3 and 5, cancels and replaces ISO 8871:1990 and
21、 ISO 8871:1990/Amd.1:1995, which has been technically revised. ISO 8871 consists of the following parts, under the general title Elastomeric parts for parenterals and for devices for pharmaceutical use: Part 1: Extractables in aqueous autoclavates Part 2: Identification and characterization Part 3:
22、Determination of released-particle count Part 4: Biological requirements and test methods Part 5: Functional requirements and testing EN ISO 8871-4:2006iv Introduction The pharmaceutical industry requires, to an increasing extent, concrete details from the rubber manufacturer about the biological st
23、atus of rubber closures as far as elastomeric closures are used as primary packaging materials in direct contact with the medicinal products. This request has been taken into account by preparing Annexes A to D of this part of ISO 8871. Tests presented in this part of ISO 8871 can be taken into acco
24、unt as a guideline if the question of biological safety arises in context with primary packaging materials for pharmaceutical products. The use of certain tests of Annex A to Annex D in case of special applications of the packaging material should be agreed upon between users and manufacturers. EN I

31、al solution, including those substances which can exhibit toxic or pyrogenic reactions. Selection of tests and their interpretation to be used in biological evaluations should take into account the chemical composition of the materials, including the conditions of exposure as well as the nature, deg
32、ree, frequency and duration of exposure of the material. Cytotoxicity, systemic toxicity and intracutaneous toxicity shall be considered for type testing as material characteristics. Endotoxins and bioburden shall be considered for monitoring purposes. 4.2 Extractable bacterial endotoxins The limit,
33、 specified as endotoxin units per square centimetre (EU/cm2) of elastomeric part or endotoxin units per millilitre (EU/ml) extractable endotoxins, shall be agreed upon between supplier and user. The test method shall be validated. NOTE Annex A includes an example of a test method for the determinati
34、on of extractable bacterial endotoxins that can be used. 4.3 Bioburden The limit, specified as colony-forming units per square centimetre (cfu/cm2)or cfu per elastomeric part, shall be agreed upon between supplier and user. The bioburden method shall be validated. NOTE ISO 11737-1 can be used as a g
35、uideline to establish and validate the method. 4.4 Toxicity 4.4.1 General Materials shall be tested in vitro for cytotoxicity in accordance with 4.4.2. Materials that meet the requirements of this test are not required to undergo further testing. Materials that do not meet the requirements of this t
36、est shall be tested in vivo for systemic and intracutaneous toxicity in accordance with 4.4.3 and 4.4.4 respectively. 4.4.2 Cytotoxicity The test shall be performed according to Annex B. For assessment refer to the requirements specified in USP, chapter , “Biological Reactivity Tests, In Vitro”. EN
37、ISO 8871-4:200634.4.3 Intracutaneous toxicity The test shall be performed according to Annex C. For assessment, refer to the requirements specified in USP, chapter , “Biological Reactivity Tests, In Vivo, Intracutaneous Test”. 4.4.4 Systemic toxicity The test shall be performed according to Annex D.
38、 For assessment, refer to the requirements specified in USP, chapter . EN ISO 8871-4:20064 Annex A (informative) Test for extractable bacterial endotoxins A.1 General This Annex defines a conventional method for the extraction of bacterial endotoxins from the surface of elastomeric parts. The extrac
39、table bacterial endotoxins are determined according to the methods specified in USP, chapter , “Bacterial Endotoxins Test” or Ph.Eur.2, chapter 2.6.14 “Bacterial Endotoxins”. A.2 Principle The extraction is performed by shaking elastomeric parts in endotoxin-free water. The determination of extracta
40、ble bacterial endotoxins is performed according to the methods specified in USP or Ph.Eur. using limulus amebocyte lysate (LAL) which has been obtained from horseshoe crab, Limulus polyphemus, and which has been prepared and characterized for use as an LAL reagent. A.3 Reagents and materials A.3.1 D
41、epyrogenated glassware/heat stable instruments (e.g. forceps). A.3.2 Endotoxin-free water. A.3.3 Endotoxin reagents as specified in USP or Ph.Eur. A.4 Preparation of depyrogenated glassware and heat stable instruments A.4.1 Clean the glassware in a laboratory dish washer. Ensure that residual soap i
42、s completely removed. A.4.2 Wrap the glassware in aluminium foil as follows: completely wrap test tubes; wrap only the neck part of sample containers; completely wrap forceps. A.4.3 Depyrogenate the wrapped parts at appropriate conditions, e.g. at least 30 min at 250 C. A.4.4 After depyrogenation, k
43、eep the parts in the aluminium foil. A.5 Extraction of the elastomeric parts Aseptically transfer a number of elastomeric parts corresponding to a surface of (100 10) cm2into a depyrogenated sample container. Carefully add 100 ml endotoxin-free water, protect with cover film and shake (orbital shaki
44、ng) for 5 min at room temperature. EN ISO 8871-4:20065If the surface area of (100 10) cm2cannot be achieved, add (1 0,1) ml for every additional square centimetre. In case of elastomeric parts with barely accessible cavities, e.g. 13 mm freeze drying closures, flashballs, needle shields etc., it may
45、 be necessary to cut the parts before extraction in order to obtain adequate recoveries. If parts are cut, take into account the original surface area of the parts. A.6 Expression of results Express the results as EU/cm2elastomeric part or EU/ml extractable endotoxins. EN ISO 8871-4:20066 Annex B (n
