(Main)Sterile single-use syringes, with or without needle, for insulin (ISO 8537:2016)
Sterile single-use syringes, with or without needle, for insulin (ISO 8537:2016)
ISO 8537:2016 specifies requirements and test methods for empty, sterile, single-use syringes, with or without needles, made of plastic materials and intended solely for the injection of insulin, with which the syringes are filled by the end user. This International Standard covers syringes intended for single-use only in humans and with insulins of various concentrations.
The insulin syringes specified in this International Standard are intended for use (i.e. insulin injection) immediately after filling and are not intended to contain insulin for extended periods of time.
ISO 8537:2016 excludes single-use syringes made of glass, syringes for use with power-driven syringe pumps, syringes that are pre-filled by the manufacturer, and syringes intended to be stored after filling (e.g. in a kit intended for filling by a pharmacist).
Sterile Insulin-Einmalspritzen mit oder ohne Kanüle (ISO 8537:2016)
Diese Internationale Norm legt Anforderungen an und Prüfverfahren für leere, sterile Einmalspritzen mit oder ohne Kanüle fest, die aus Kunststoffmaterialien hergestellt und ausschließlich zur Injektion von Insulin vorgesehen sind, mit dem die Spritzen vom Endverbraucher befüllt werden. Diese Internationale Norm gilt für Einmalspritzen, die für die Anwendung am Menschen und für verschiedene Insulinkonzentrationen vorgesehen sind.
Die in dieser Internationalen Norm festgelegten Insulinspritzen sind zum unverzüglichen Gebrauch (d. h. Insulininjektion) nach dem Befüllen bestimmt und sind nicht dafür vorgesehen, Insulin über eine längere Zeitdauer aufzubewahren.
Diese Norm gilt nicht für Einmalspritzen aus Glas, Spritzen zur Verwendung mit Spritzenpumpen, vom Hersteller vorgefüllte Spritzen und Spritzen, die für eine Lagerung nach dem Befüllen vorgesehen sind (z. B. in einem Satz, der zum Befüllen durch einen Apotheker bestimmt ist).
Seringues à insuline, stériles, non réutilisables, avec ou sans aiguille (ISO 8537:2016)
ISO 8537:2016 spécifie des exigences et des méthodes d'essai applicables aux seringues stériles vides non réutilisables, avec ou sans aiguille, constituées de plastique et uniquement destinées à l'injection d'insuline, avec laquelle les seringues sont remplies par l'utilisateur final. La présente Norme internationale concerne les seringues non réutilisables utilisées uniquement chez l'être humain et remplies d'insuline en concentrations variables.
Les seringues à insuline décrites dans la présente Norme internationale sont prévues pour être utilisées (par exemple, injection d'insuline) immédiatement après leur remplissage et ne sont pas adaptées pour contenir de l'insuline pendant de longues périodes.
ISO 8537:2016 exclut les seringues non réutilisables en verre, les seringues utilisables avec les pousse-seringues électriques, les seringues pré-remplies par le fabricant et les seringues prévues pour être conservées après leur remplissage (par exemple, dans un kit prévu pour être rempli par un pharmacien).
Sterilne injekcijske brizge za insulin za enkratno uporabo, z iglo ali brez nje (ISO 8537:2016)
Ta mednarodni standard določa zahteve in preskusne metode za prazne, sterilne
injekcijske brizge za enkratno uporabo, z iglo ali brez nje, ki so izdelane iz plastike in namenjene zgolj za vbrizganje
inzulina, pri čemer injekcije napolni končni uporabnik. Ta mednarodni standard zajema injekcijske brizge, ki so namenjene za enkratno uporabo samo pri ljudeh, z inzulinom v različnih koncentracijah.
Injekcijske brizge za inzulin, ki so določene v tem mednarodnem standardu, so namenjene za uporabo (tj. injekcija inzulina) takoj po polnjenju in ne smejo vsebovati inzulina dlje časa.
V tem mednarodnem standardu niso zajete injekcijske brizge za enkratno uporabo, izdelane iz stekla, injekcijske brizge za uporabo z injekcijskimi črpalkami, injekcijske brizge, ki jih predhodno napolni proizvajalec, in injekcijske brizge, ki so namenjene za shranjevanje po polnjenju (npr. v kompletu, ki ga napolni farmacevt).

Annex ZA
(informative)
Relationship between this European Standard and the Essential
Requirements of EU Directive 93/42/EEC amended by Directive
2007/47/EEC
This European Standard has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European
Commission and the European Free Trade Association to provide a means of conforming to the
Essential Requirements of Directive 93/42/EEC.
Once this standard is cited in the Official Journal of the European Union under that Directive and has
been implemented as a national standard in at least one Member State, compliance with the normative
clauses of this standard given in Table ZA.1 confers, within the limits of the scope of this standard, a
presumption of conformity with the corresponding Essential Requirements of that Directive and
associated EFTA Regulations.
NOTE 1 Where a reference from a clause of this standard to the risk management process is made, the risk
management process needs to be in compliance with Directive 93/42/EEC as amended by 2007/47/EC. This
means that risks have to be reduced ‘as far as possible’, ‘to a minimum’, ‘to the lowest possible level’, ‘minimized’
or ‘removed’, according to the wording of the corresponding essential requirement.
NOTE 2 The manufacturer’s policy for determining acceptable risk must be in compliance with essential
requirements 1, 2, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 11 and 12 of the Directive.
NOTE 3 This Annex ZA is based on normative references according to the table of references in the European
foreword, replacing the references in the core text.
NOTE 4 When an Essential Requirement does not appear in Table ZA.1, it means that it is not addressed by this
European Standard.
