Sterile hypodermic syringes for single use - Part 4: Syringes with re-use prevention feature (ISO 7886-4:2006)

2005-04-05 - Work item transferred from 00205167 following resolution 2 of the 25th BT/TCMG

Sterile Einmalspritzen für medizinische Zwecke - Teil 4: Spritzen mit Vorrichtung zur Verhinderung der Wiederverwendung (ISO 7886-4:2006)

Dieser Teil von ISO 7886 legt Anforderungen für sterile Einmalspritzen aus Kunststoff mit oder ohne Kanüle fest, die für das Aufziehen von Flüssigkeiten oder für die Injektion von Flüssigkeiten unmittelbar nach ihrem Befüllen vorgesehen und so gestaltet sind, dass die Spritze nach dem Gebrauch unbrauchbar gemacht werden kann.
Dieser Teil von ISO 7886 ist nicht anwendbar auf Glasspritzen (festgelegt in ISO 595), selbstblockierende Spritzen für die Injektion mit fixer Impfstoffdosis (festgelegt in ISO 7886 3) und zur Vorfüllung ausgelegte Spritzen. Er behandelt nicht die Verträglichkeit mit Injektionsflüssigkeiten. Wenn Spritzen für andere Anwen¬dungsbereiche verwendet werden, können andere als die in diesem Teil von ISO 7886 festgelegten Normen herangezogen werden.
ANMERKUNG   Spritzen, die zur Reduzierung des Verletzungsrisikos durch die Einstichnadel ausgelegt sind, können hinsichtlich ihrer Eigenschaften zur Verhinderung der Wiederverwendung auch mit diesem Teil von ISO 7886 überein¬stimmen. Es ist jedoch festzuhalten, dass andere Eigenschaften der Einstichnadel von Spritzen in diesem Teil von ISO 7886 nicht behandelt werden.

ISO 7886-4:2006(E)
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 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, 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 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 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 subject of patent

rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.

ISO 7886-4 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 84, Devices for administration of medicinal

products and intravascular catheters, Subcommittee SC 1, Syringes, needles and intravascular catheters for

single use.

ISO 7886 consists of the following parts, under the general title Sterile hypodermic syringes for single use:

⎯ Part 1: Syringes for manual use
⎯ Part 2: Syringes for use with power-driven syringe pumps
⎯ Part 3: Auto-disable syringes for fixed-dose immunization
⎯ Part 4: Syringes with re-use prevention feature

ISO 7886-4:2006(E)
Introduction

The preparation of this part of ISO 7886 was recognized as a high priority requirement to prevent the re-use of

syringes in the developing and transitional countries. Re-use of injection equipment in the absence of

sterilization has increasingly led to transmission of blood-borne pathogens. See Reference [1] in the

Bibliography.

The World Health Organisation had produced a specification for syringes that are rendered inactive after use

(commonly referred to as “auto-disable” syringes) for fixed dose immunization and syringes with re-use

prevention features for general purpose. Both the WHO and ISO agreed that additional parts of ISO 7886

would be required to cover syringes with re-use prevention features, whilst leaving in place ISO 7886-1 and

ISO 7886-2 without modification, as a large number of devices in common use would not be intended to

comply with the re-use prevention properties suggested.

This part of ISO 7886 is intended to cover syringes that are rendered inoperable after delivery of the intended

dose. These syringes are not covered by ISO 7886-1 and ISO 7886-3. ISO 7886-2 covers syringes used with

power-driven pumps. Given the diversity of clinical applications, the most appropriate re-use prevention

feature offering the highest level of re-use prevention is to be considered for each specific intended use.

It is recognized that syringes designed to reduce the risk of needlestick injuries can also comply with this part

of ISO 7886 with regard to their re-use prevention properties, but it is stressed that anti-needlestick properties

of syringes are not in themselves addressed in this part of ISO 7886.

INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 7886-4:2006(E)
Sterile hypodermic syringes for single use —
Part 4:
Syringes with re-use prevention feature
1 Scope

This part of ISO 7886 specifies requirements for sterile single-use hypodermic syringes made of plastics

materials with or without needle, and intended for the aspiration of fluids or for the injection of fluids

immediately after filling and of design such that the syringe can be rendered unusable after use.

This part of ISO 7886 is not applicable to syringes made of glass (specified in ISO 595), auto-disable syringes

for fixed dose immunization (ISO 7886-3) and syringes designed to be pre-filled. It does not address

compatibility with injection fluids. Other standards can be applicable when syringes are used for any other

intended purpose than those specified in this part of ISO 7886.

NOTE Syringes designed to reduce the risk of needlestick injuries can also comply with this part of ISO 7886 with

regard to their re-use prevention properties, but it is stressed that anti-needlestick properties of syringes are not in

themselves addressed in this part of ISO 7886.
