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.
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.
International Standard ISO 11070 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 84, Medical devices for injection,
Subcommittee SC 1, Syringes, needles and intravascular catheters for single use.
Annexes B, C, D, E, F, G, and H form an integral part of this International Standard. Annexes A and J are for
information only.

4 General requirements
4.1 Sterilization
The device shall have been sterilized by a validated method, and shall comply with 4.2 to 4.4 in the sterile condition.
NOTE - See ISO 11134, ISO 11135 and ISO 11137 for appropriate methods of sterilization.
4.2 Biocompatibility
The device shall be free from biological hazard.
NOTE - See ISO 10993-1 for selection of appropriate test methods.
4.3 Surface
When examined by normal or corrected-to-normal vision with 2,5 x magnification, the external surface of the effective
length of the device shall appear free from extraneous matter.
NOTE 1 - The external surface of the effective length of the device, including the distal end, should be free from process and
surface defects and should cause minimum trauma to vessels during use.
NOTE 2 - If the intravascular catheter introducer is lubricated, the lubricant should not be visible as drops of fluid on the external
surface of the effective length of the device when the device is examined under normal or corrected-to-normal vision.

determine radiodetectability. An approved test method for producing a value of radiodetectability will be established.
Until that time, manufacturers may label their products "radio-opaque" provided they can support this claim by
demonstrating that they have an appropriate method for showing radio-opacity.
