Small steam sterilizers

This European Standard specifies the performance requirements and test methods for small steam sterilizers and sterilization cycles which are used for medical purposes or for materials that are likely to come into contact with blood or body fluids.
This European Standard applies to automatically controlled small steam sterilizers that generate steam using electrical heaters or use steam that is generated by a system external to the sterilizer.
This European Standard applies to small steam sterilizers used primarily for the sterilization of medical devices and unable to accommodate a sterilization module (300 mm × 300 mm × 600 mm) and with a chamber volume not exceeding 60 litres.
This European Standard does not apply to small steam sterilizers that are used to sterilize liquids or pharmaceutical products.
This European Standard does not specify safety requirements related to risks associated with the zone in which the sterilizer is used (e.g. flammable gases).
The performance requirements specified in this document are not intended for the process to be effective in inactivating the causative agents of spongiform encephalopathies such as scrapie, bovine spongiform encephalopathy and Creutzfeld-Jakob disease. However, some national regulations require the use of modified steam processes as part of a general prior decontamination programme.
This European Standard does not specify requirements for the validation and routine control of sterilization by moist heat.
NOTE   Requirements for the validation and routine control of sterilization by moist heat are given in EN 554, which may also be applied for small steam sterilizers.

Dampf-Klein-Sterilisatoren

Diese Europäische Norm legt die Leistungsanforderungen und Prüfverfahren für Dampf-Klein-Sterilisatoren und deren Sterilisationszyklen fest, die für medizinische Zwecke oder für Materialien verwendet werden, die mit Blut oder Körperflüssigkeiten in Kontakt kommen können.
Diese Europäische Norm gilt für automatisch geregelte Dampf-Klein-Sterilisatoren, die zur Dampferzeugung elektrische Heizungen verwenden oder die Dampf benutzen, der in einem System außerhalb des Sterilisators erzeugt wird.
Diese Europäische Norm gilt für Dampf-Klein-Sterilisatoren, die in erster Linie für die Sterilisation von Medizin¬produkten verwendet werden und die nicht in der Lage sind, eine Sterilisiereinheit (300 mm  300 mm  600 mm) aufzunehmen sowie deren Kammervolumen 60 Liter nicht übersteigt.
Diese Europäische Norm gilt nicht für Dampf-Klein-Sterilisatoren, die für die Sterilisation von Flüssigkeiten oder pharmazeutischen Produkten verwendet werden.
Diese Europäische Norm legt keine Sicherheitsanforderungen fest, die mit den Risiken in dem Bereich zusammenhängen, in dem der Sterilisator verwendet wird (z. B. entzündliche Gase).
Diese Europäische Norm legt keine Anforderungen für die Validierung und Routineüberwachung der Sterilisa-tion mit feuchter Hitze fest.
ANMERKUNG   Anforderungen für die Validierung und Routineüberwachung der Sterilisation mit feuchter Hitze sind in EN 554 angegeben, die auch für Dampf-Klein-Sterilisatoren angewendet werden kann.

Petits stérilisateurs à la vapeur d'eau

La présente Norme européenne spécifie les exigences en matière de performances et les méthodes d'essai relatives aux petits stérilisateurs à la vapeur d'eau et aux cycles de stérilisation utilisés à des fins médicales ou pour des matériels susceptibles d'entrer en contact avec du sang ou des liquides corporels.
La présente Norme européenne s'applique aux petits stérilisateurs à la vapeur d'eau à commande automatique qui produisent de la vapeur d'eau en utilisant des éléments chauffants électriques ou qui utilisent de la vapeur d'eau produite par un système externe au stérilisateur.
La présente Norme européenne s'applique aux petits stérilisateurs à la vapeur d'eau utilisé essentiellement pour la stérilisation des dispositifs médicaux, ne pouvant pas recevoir d'unité de stérilisation (300 mm  300 mm  600 mm) et dont le volume de la chambre n'excède pas 60 litres.
La présente Norme européenne ne s'applique pas aux petits stérilisateurs à la vapeur d'eau qui sont utilisés pour stériliser des liquides ou des produits pharmaceutiques.
La présente Norme européenne ne précise pas les exigences de sécurité relatives aux risques associés à la zone dans laquelle est utilisé le stérilisateur (par exemple gaz inflammables).
La présente Norme européenne ne spécifie pas les exigences relatives à la validation et au contrôle habituel d'une stérilisation par chaleur humide.
NOTE   Les exigences relatives à la validation et au contrôle de routine de la stérilisation par chaleur humide figurent dans l'EN 554, laquelle peut également s'appliquer aux petits stérilisateurs à la vapeur d'eau.

Mali parni sterilizatorji

Ta evropski standard določa zahteve za delovanje in preskusne metode za male parne sterilizatorje in sterilizacijske cikle, ki se uporabljajo za medicinske namene ali za materiale, ki lahko pridejo v stik s krvjo ali telesnimi tekočinami. Ta evropski standard velja za avtomatsko nadzorovane male parne sterilizatorje, ki paro proizvajajo z uporabo električnih grelcev ali uporabljajo paro, ki jo proizvaja sistem zunaj sterilizatorja. Ta evropski standard velja za male parne sterilizatorje, ki se uporabljajo predvsem za sterilizacijo medicinskih pripomočkov in se vanje ne more namestiti sterilizacijski modul (300 mm × 300 mm × 600 mm), s prostornino komore pod 60 litrov.
