21、ments of EU Directive 93/42/EEC . 15 EN ISO 22610:2006iv Foreword 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 committee
22、s. 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, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the Inter
23、national Electrotechnical Commission (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 St
24、andards adopted by the technical committees 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 sub
25、ject of patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. ISO 22610 was prepared by the European Committee for Standardization (CEN) Technical Committee CEN/TC 205, Non-active medical devices, in collaboration with Technical Committee ISO/TC 94, Personal
26、 safety Protective clothing and equipment, Subcommittee SC 13, Protective clothing, in accordance with the Agreement on technical cooperation between ISO and CEN (Vienna Agreement). EN ISO 22610:2006vIntroduction There are numerous examples of situations where bacteria carried by a liquid may migrat
27、e through a barrier material in the wet state. The wet penetration of skin flora through a covering material is one example. European Medical Device regulations specifically place the responsibility for avoiding device-related infections on the manufacturer. In order to demonstrate compliance with t
28、his requirement and to describe a product to the user, there is a need to use harmonized and recognized international test methods. The test method described in this international standard uses microbiological techniques and is therefore intended to be performed exclusively by laboratories experienc
29、ed in and equipped for such work. EN ISO 22610:2006blank1Surgical drapes, gowns and clean air suits, used as medical devices, for patients, clinical staff and equipment Test method to determine the resistance to wet bacterial penetration WARNING The use of this standard may involve hazardous materia
30、ls, operations and equipment. This standard does not purport to address all of the safety problems associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and to determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to
31、 use. 1 Scope This International Standard specifies a test method, with associated test apparatus (see Annex A), which is used to determine the resistance of a material to the penetration of bacteria, carried by a liquid, when subjected to mechanical rubbing. 2 Normative references The following ref

41、men is placed on an agar plate. A sheet of donor material, of corresponding size and carrying the bacteria, is placed on the test specimen with the contaminated side face down and covered by a sheet of approximately 10 m high density polyethylene (HDPE) film. Two tithing conical steel rings hold the
42、 three sheets together, applying a tensile force. An abrasion-resistant finger is placed on top of the materials with a specified force to bring the test specimen in contact with the agar. The finger is moved over the entire surface of the plate in less than 15 min by means of a pivoted lever moved
43、by an exocentric cam. The assemblage of materials, stretched by the weight of the steel rings, ensures that only a small area of the test specimen is brought into contact with the agar surface at any one time. Due to the combined effect of rubbing and liquid migration, bacteria may pass from the don
44、or material through the test specimen down to the agar surface. After being tested for 15 min, the agar plate is replaced by a fresh one, and the test is repeated with the same donor and test specimen. Allowing 15 min for each test, five tests are performed with the same pair of donor and test speci
45、men. In this way, the test allows for an estimation of the penetration over time. Finally, the bacterial contamination on the top side of the test specimen is estimated using the same technique. The agar plates are incubated in order to observe the bacterial colonies, which are then enumerated. The
46、results may be processed in accumulated form in order to characterize the barrier capability and penetration over time of the material (see Annex C). EN ISO 22610:200635 Reagents and materials 1)5.1 5 sets of 6 agar plates, 14 cm diameter, filled with nutrient agar (see B.4 and 7.1). 5.2 Five pieces

A weight can be slid along the lever to adjust the force exerted by the finger on the materials. The
