Cardiovascular implants — Endovascular devices — Part 2: Vascular stents
This document specifies requirements for the evaluation of stent systems (vascular stents and delivery systems) and requirements with respect to nomenclature, design attributes and information supplied by the manufacturer, based upon current medical knowledge. Guidance for the development of in vitro test methods is included in Annex D. This document is supplemental to ISO 14630, which specifies general requirements for the performance of non-active surgical implants. NOTE 1 Due to the variations in the design of implants covered by this document, and in some cases due to the emergence of novel types of such implants, acceptable standardized in vitro tests and clinical results are not always available. As further scientific and clinical data become available, appropriate revision of this document will be necessary. This document is applicable to vascular stents and vascular scaffolds (e.g. absorbable vascular scaffolds) used to treat vascular stenoses or other vascular abnormalities or pathologies. Some of the requirements are specific to endovascular treatment of arterial stenoses. Although uses of stent systems other than treatment of arterial stenoses (e.g. venous stenting) are within the scope of this document, comprehensive requirements and testing are not described for these uses. Similarly, specific stent configurations (e.g. bifurcation stents) are within the scope, but comprehensive requirements and testing are not described for these devices. Stents used in combination with an endovascular prosthesis to complete the treatment of a lesion, including bridging stents (e.g. stents placed in the renal arteries after deployment of a fenestrated endovascular prosthesis), are within the scope of this document, but test methods are not described for the combination. ISO 25539-1 also provides information relevant to the preclinical in vivo and clinical evaluations of such stents. Vascular stents that have surface modifications, such as drug and/or other coatings, are within the scope of this document. Stents covered with materials that significantly modify the permeability of the uncovered stent (e.g. by covering the stent-free-surface area) are within the scope of ISO 25539-1. The stent design or intended use might dictate the need to address functional requirements identified in both ISO 25539-1 and this document (e.g. stents used in combination with endovascular prostheses, stents used to treat aortic aneurysms). Balloons integral to the stent system are within the scope of this document. This document provides requirements beyond the requirements of ISO 10555-4, which are specific to the use of balloons with vascular stents. This document is not applicable to procedures and devices used prior to the introduction of the vascular stent, such as balloon angioplasty devices. Tacking devices intended to spot treat post-angioplasty dissections, coil supporting devices, and flow diverters are within the scope of this document, but comprehensive requirements and testing are not described for these devices. Although drug-eluting stents are within the scope of this document, this document is not comprehensive with respect to the drug-eluting properties of these devices. NOTE 2 Vascular device-drug combination products are within the scope of ISO 12417-1. Although absorbable stents and stents with absorbable coatings are within the scope of this document, this document is not comprehensive with respect to the absorbable properties of these devices. NOTE 3 Absorbable implants are within the scope of ISO/TS 17137. Although coated stents and coated stent systems are within the scope of this document, this document is not comprehensive with respect to coatings. NOTE 4 Some coating properties are within the scope of ISO 17327-1. This document does not address the requirements for, and the evaluation of, viable tissues and non-viable biologic materials used in the construction of vascular stents.
Implants cardiovasculaires — Dispositifs endovasculaires — Partie 2: Endoprothèses vasculaires
Le présent document spécifie les exigences relatives à l'évaluation des ensembles stent/dispositif d'injection (stents vasculaires et systèmes d'injection) et les exigences relatives à la nomenclature, aux caractéristiques de conception et aux informations fournies par le fabricant, sur la base des connaissances médicales actuelles. Les recommandations relatives à l'élaboration des méthodes d'essai in vitro figurent à l'Annexe D. Le présent document complète l'ISO 14630, qui spécifie les exigences générales relatives aux performances des implants chirurgicaux non actifs. NOTE 1 En raison des variantes de conception parmi les implants traités dans le présent document et en raison, dans certains cas, de l'émergence de nouveaux types de tels implants, des essais in vitro normalisés et des résultats cliniques acceptables ne sont pas toujours disponibles. Lorsque de nouvelles données scientifiques et cliniques seront disponibles, il sera nécessaire de procéder à une révision appropriée du présent document. Le présent document s'applique aux stents vasculaires et aux supports vasculaires (par exemple, supports vasculaires absorbables) utilisés pour le traitement des sténoses vasculaires ou d'autres troubles ou pathologies vasculaires. Certaines des exigences sont spécifiques au traitement endovasculaire des sténoses artérielles. Bien que les utilisations d'ensembles stent/dispositif d'injection autres que le traitement des sténoses artérielles (par exemple, implantation de stents veineux) entrent dans le domaine d'application du présent document, les exigences et essais complets ne sont pas décrits pour de telles utilisations. De la même manière, les configurations de stents spécifiques (par exemple, stents de bifurcation) entrent dans le domaine d'application du présent document, mais les exigences et essais complets ne sont pas décrits pour ces dispositifs. Les stents utilisés en combinaison avec une prothèse endovasculaire afin de compléter le traitement d'une lésion, y compris les stents de pontage (par exemple, stents placés dans les artères rénales après la pose d'une prothèse endovasculaire fenêtrée), entrent dans le domaine d'application du présent document, mais les méthodes d'essai ne sont pas décrites pour l'ensemble combiné. L'ISO 25539-1 fournit également des informations pertinentes pour les évaluations précliniques in vivo et les évaluations cliniques de ces stents. Les stents vasculaires modifiés en surface, avec par exemple un enrobage médicamenteux et/ou d'autres formes de revêtements, sont couverts par le présent document. Les stents recouverts de matériaux qui modifient sensiblement l'étanchéité du stent nu (par exemple, en recouvrant la surface du vaisseau sans contact avec le stent) sont compris dans le domaine d'application de l'ISO 25539-1. La conception ou l'utilisation prévue du stent peut imposer la nécessité de prendre en compte les exigences fonctionnelles identifiées dans l'ISO 25539-1 et dans le présent document (par exemple, dans le cas de stents utilisés conjointement avec des prothèses endovasculaires ou de stents utilisés pour le traitement d'anévrismes aortiques). Les ballonnets intégrés à l'ensemble stent/dispositif d'injection sont couverts par le présent document. Le présent document fournit des exigences allant au-delà de celles de l'ISO 10555-4, spécifiques à l'utilisation de ballonnets avec des stents vasculaires. Les techniques et les dispositifs utilisés avant l'introduction du stent vasculaire, tels que les dispositifs d'angioplastie par ballonnet, sont exclus du domaine d'application du présent document. Les dispositifs de pointage destinés à localiser les dissections post-angioplastie, les dispositifs de support de bobine et les dispositifs de diversion de flux sont couverts par le présent document, qui ne fournit cependant ni exigences, ni essais détaillés pour ces dispositifs. Bien que les stents à élution de médicaments entrent dans le domaine d'application du présent documen

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.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www .iso .org/ directives).
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. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or

ISO 25539-2:2020(E)
Introduction
This document was prepared to provide minimum requirements for vascular stents. The rationale
for the requirements for bench tests and analyses to assess device performance, guidance on the
identification of appropriate testing to evaluate a specific device design, and guidance for developing
test methods are provided in informative annexes. Further clarification of terminology is provided in
additional informative annexes.
This document has been updated to reflect current knowledge regarding the testing and clinical use of
vascular stents, reflected in modifications to the requirements in the main body and in the guidance for
developing test methods in Annex D. In addition, revisions have been made to improve consistency in
nomenclature and reporting and to enhance the utility of this document.
Requirements particular to the evaluation of specific characteristics of stents (e.g. coatings, drug-
elution, absorption) are incorporated by reference to appropriate standards. However, not all tests
listed in the referenced standards are applicable to vascular stents. Only tests that address the design
attributes specified in Clause 6 are required for compliance to this document.
This revised document introduces methodology to identify appropriate testing and analyses for a
specific vascular stent, designated as the device evaluation strategy. The requirement regarding the
device evaluation strategy is in the main body. Annex A provides guidance for developing a focused
device evaluation strategy table that is specific to the unique characteristics of a device, device design
modifications, or changes in intended use. Annex A also provides guidance for the development of a
comprehensive device evaluation strategy table that may be used when it is not sufficient to focus only
on the unique characteristics or changes.
NOTE ISO 25539-1:2017 includes tables that can be used to justify the testing needed for device design
modifications and changes in intended use in Annex A. In this document, this concept is called a focused device
evaluation strategy table and can be applied to a new device as well as device design modifications or changes in
the intended use.
The other significant modifications in the requirements include the addition of non-radial durability
testing, with guidance on the selection of appropriate testing, and specific requirements for testing
to evaluate patency-related characteristics. Guidance for the development of appropriate tests to meet
these requirements is included in Annex D.
The guidance on the development of methods to address the requirement for evaluating fatigue and
durability through computational analyses has been modified significantly to include recommendations
regarding verification of the solution and validation of the computational model, as well as reporting.
The guidance on the model development for simulated use has also been significantly revised to
improve the clinical relevance of this testing.
The specific requirements to evaluate pushability, flexibility, torquability, trackability, and deployment
accuracy of a stent system have been removed and incorporated within the simulated use evaluation
requirement to better reflect how these attributes are evaluated. Similarly, the requirement to evaluate
tubing tensile strength has been removed and incorporated within the evaluation of tensile bond
strength.
In addition to modifications to specific design evaluation requirements, guidance has been provided
regarding the assessment of the acceptability of test results. When the requirement is to quantitatively
appraise or analyse a parameter, test results generally may be compared to a quantitative value (i.e.
acceptance criteria). For characterization tests it is appropriate to provide an explanation of the
relevance of the results. Additionally, some testing may include comparison to test data or existing data
from a previously evaluated device.
For design evaluation, requirements regarding sampling, conditioning of test samples, and reporting
have been incorporated in the main body. Guidance on these elements of testing and documentation
were previously only included in Annex D.

Annex B — Bench and analytical tests The list of tests is included in Table D.1.
Annex B now includes a description of potential clinical
effects of failure. Effects of failure for stents used with end-
ovascular prostheses are included.
Annex C — Definitions of reportable clinical The term “reportable” clinical events is no longer used in
events this document.
Annex C now includes a description of potential device

ovascular prostheses are included.
Annex D — Test methods This edition incorporates the sample equations as a supple-
ment to the radial fatigue durability test from ISO 25539-
2:2012, Annex E in Annex D.
Annex E — Supplement to the radial fatigue and There is no longer an Annex E as the sample equations as a
durability test analytical approach supplement to the fatigue durability test have been incorpo-
rated in Annex D.
It is recognized by this ISO committee that many stent systems have been shown to be safe and effective
in clinical use. This update is not intended to require additional evaluation of these devices to remain
in compliance with this document as the testing would not provide useful information regarding the
expected clinical performance of the device. Manufacturers may rely on historical data gathered under
the guidance of the previous edition of ISO 25539-2. Similarly, for device modifications or changes in
intended clinical use, this update is not intended to require additional evaluation of any aspects of the
device that are not expected to change clinical performance.
NOTE The relationship between testing requirements, device attributes, and potential failure modes is
provided in Clause A.1. Clause A.1 also provides general information regarding device evaluation strategies.
Tables A.2 and A.3 provide the rationale for the requirements specified in this document for bench tests and
analyses to assess device performance. An explanation of the table headings for A.2 and A.3 are described in
Table A.1.
Guidance for the creation of a device-specific evaluation strategy is provided in Clause A.2. Two approaches to
create a device-specific evaluation strategy are provided: 1) focused device evaluation strategy in A.2.1; and 2)
comprehensive device evaluation strategy in A.2.2.
Annex B provides a description of the potential clinical effects of failure identified in Annex A.
Annex C provides a description of the potential device effects of failure identified in Annex A.
Additional descriptions of clinical and device effects of failure are included in Annexes B and C, respectively.
Annex D provides information to consider in developing appropriate bench test and analytical methods.

ISO 25539-2:2020(F)
Introduction
Le présent document a été préparé pour fournir des exigences minimales destinées aux stents
vasculaires. Les raisons expliquant les exigences applicables aux essais au banc et analyses pour évaluer
la performance des dispositifs, les recommandations concernant l'identification des essais appropriés
pour évaluer une conception de dispositif spécifique et les recommandations concernant l'élaboration
des méthodes d'essai sont fournies dans les annexes informatives. Une clarification de la terminologie
est fournie dans des annexes informatives supplémentaires.
Le présent document a été mis à jour pour refléter les connaissances actuelles sur les essais et
l'utilisation clinique des stents vasculaires, pour représenter les modifications des exigences dans le
corps du document et dans les recommandations relatives au développement des méthodes d'essai de
l'Annexe D. En outre, des révisions ont été apportées pour améliorer la cohérence dans la nomenclature
et l'établissement des rapports ainsi que pour améliorer l'utilité du présent document.
Les exigences relatives à l'évaluation des caractéristiques spécifiques des stents (par exemple,
revêtements, élution de médicaments, absorption) sont incorporées par référence aux normes
concernées. Toutefois, tous les essais spécifiés dans les normes citées en référence ne s'appliquent
pas aux stents vasculaires. Seuls les essais portant sur les caractéristiques de conception spécifiées à
l'Article 6 sont exigés pour garantir la conformité au présent document.
Ce document révisé introduit une méthodologie permettant d'identifier les essais et analyses appropriés
pour un stent vasculaire spécifique, appelée stratégie d'évaluation du dispositif (SED). Les exigences
applicables à la stratégie d'évaluation du dispositif sont données dans le corps principal du document.
L'Annexe A fournit des recommandations pour le développement d'un tableau de stratégie d'évaluation
du dispositif de type ciblé, applicable spécifiquement aux caractéristiques uniques d'un dispositif,
aux modifications de conception du dispositif ou à l'évolution de son usage prévu. L'Annexe A fournit
également des recommandations pour l'élaboration d'un tableau de stratégie d'évaluation du dispositif
de type complet, pouvant être utilisé lorsqu'il apparaît insuffisant de se concentrer exclusivement sur
les caractéristiques uniques du dispositif ou sur ses modifications.
NOTE L'ISO 25539-1:2017 comprend des tableaux pouvant être utilisés pour justifier les essais nécessaires
en cas de modification de la conception du dispositif ou d'évolution de son usage prévu à l'Annexe A. Dans le
présent document, ce concept, appelé tableau de stratégie d'évaluation du dispositif de type ciblé, peut être
appliqué aussi bien à un nouveau dispositif qu'à un dispositif dont la conception ou l'usage prévu a été modifié.
Les autres modifications d'importance dans les exigences comprennent l'ajout d'un essai de durabilité
non radial, incluant des recommandations pour la sélection de l'essai approprié, et des exigences
spécifiques pour les essais évaluant les caractéristiques de perméabilité. Des recommandations
concernant l'élaboration d'essais appropriés permettant de respecter ces exigences sont incluses à
l'Annexe D.
Les recommandations concernant le développement de méthodes permettant de satisfaire aux
exigences lors de l'évaluation de la fatigue et de la durabilité à l'aide d'analyses informatiques ont
été modifiées de manière significative pour inclure des recommandations concernant la vérification
de la solution et la validation du modèle informatique, ainsi que l'établissement des rapports. Les
recommandations concernant le développement de modèles de simulation d'utilisation ont été révisées
de manière significative pour améliorer la pertinence clinique de cet essai.
Les exigences spécifiques pour l'évaluation de la poussabilité, de la flexibilité, de la capacité de torsion,
du cheminement et de la précision de déploiement d'un ensemble stent/dispositif d'injection ont été
retirées et intégrées aux exigences d'évaluation d'une simulation d'utilisation pour mieux représenter
la manière dont ces caractéristiques sont évaluées. De la même manière, l'exigence pour l'évaluation de
la résistance du tube à la traction a été retirée et intégrée à l'évaluation de la résistance à la traction des
liaisons.
Outre les modifications apportées aux exigences concernant l'évaluation des conceptions spécifiques,
des recommandations ont été fournies pour l'évaluation de l'acceptabilité des résultats d'essai. Lorsque
l'exigence consiste à estimer ou analyser quantitativement un paramètre, les résultats d'essai peuvent

ISO 25539-2:2020(F)
généralement être comparés à une valeur quantitative (c'est-à-dire des critères d'acceptation). Pour les
essais de caractérisation, il est approprié de fournir une explication pour la pertinence des résultats. En
outre, certains essais peuvent inclure une comparaison des données d'essai ou des données existantes
issues de l'évaluation antérieure d'un dispositif.
Dans le cadre de l'évaluation de la conception, les exigences concernant l'échantillonnage, le
conditionnement des échantillons d'essai et l'établissement des rapports ont été intégrées au corps
du document. Les recommandations concernant ces éléments d'essai et la documentation figuraient
auparavant uniquement dans l'Annexe D.
Les titres des annexes du présent document ont été modifiés comme suit:
Annexe de l'ISO 25539-2:2012 Révision

l'élaboration d'une stratégie d'évaluation du dispositif.
Annexe B — Essais au banc et essais La liste des essais est incluse dans le Tableau D.1.
analytiques
L'Annexe B inclut maintenant une description des effets
cliniques potentiels de la défaillance. Elle présente également
les effets d'une défaillance des stents utilisés avec des
prothèses endovasculaires.
Annexe C — Définition des événements Le terme «événements cliniques à déclaration obligatoire» n'est
cliniques à déclaration obligatoire plus utilisé dans le présent document.
L'Annexe C inclut désormais une description des effets
potentiels d'une défaillance sur le dispositif. Elle présente
également les effets d'une défaillance des stents utilisés avec
des prothèses endovasculaires.
Annexe D — Méthodes d'essai La présente édition intègre les exemples d’équations, présentés
en complément de l'essai de durabilité à la fatigue sous charge
radiale à l'Annexe E de l'ISO 25539-2:2012, dans la présente
Annexe D.
Annexe E — Informations complémentaires L'Annexe E a été supprimée, étant donné que les exemples
sur l'approche analytique utilisée lors de d’équations présentés en complément de l'essai de durabilité à
l'essai de durabilité à la fatigue la fatigue sous charge radiale ont été incorporés à l'Annexe D.
Le présent comité de l'ISO reconnaît que de nombreux ensembles stent/dispositif d'injection se
sont révélés sûrs et efficaces pour une utilisation clinique. La présente mise à jour n'a pas vocation
à prescrire des évaluations supplémentaires sur ces dispositifs pour rester conforme au présent
document, puisque les essais ne devraient pas fournir d'informations utiles concernant la performance
clinique attendue du dispositif. Les fabricants peuvent s'appuyer sur les données historiques recueillies
selon les recommandations de la précédente édition de l'ISO 25539-2. De la même manière, en cas de
modifications sur le dispositif ou de changements relatifs à l'utilisation clinique prévue, la présente
mise à jour n'a pas vocation à prescrire des évaluations supplémentaires concernant les aspects du
dispositif non susceptibles de modifier la performance clinique.
NOTE L'Article A.1 décrit la relation entre les exigences d'essai, les caractéristiques des dispositifs et les
modes de défaillance potentiels. L'Article A.1 fournit également des informations générales sur les stratégies
d'évaluation du dispositif. Les Tableaux A.2 et A.3 fournissent les justifications des exigences spécifiées dans le
présent document et applicables aux essais au banc et aux analyses permettant d'évaluer les performances du
dispositif. Les titres des tableaux donnés en A.2 et A.3 sont explicités dans le Tableau A.1.
L'Article A.2 fournit des recommandations pour l'élaboration d'une stratégie d'évaluation spécifique au dispositif.
Deux approches sont proposées à cet égard: 1) une stratégie d'évaluation du dispositif de type ciblé, décrite en
A.2.1; et 2) une stratégie d'évaluation du dispositif de type complet, décrite en A.2.2.
L'Annexe B fournit une description des effets cliniques potentiels d'une défaillance identifiés à l'Annexe A.
L'Annexe C fournit une description des effets potentiels d'une défaillance sur le dispositif identifiés à l'Annexe A.

Introduction
This document was prepared to provide minimum requirements for vascular stents. The rationale
for the requirements for bench tests and analyses to assess device performance, guidance on the
identification of appropriate testing to evaluate a specific device design, and guidance for developing
test methods are provided in informative annexes. Further clarification of terminology is provided in
additional informative annexes.
This document has been updated to reflect current knowledge regarding the testing and clinical use of
vascular stents, reflected in modifications to the requirements in the main body and in the guidance for
developing test methods in Annex D. In addition, revisions have been made to improve consistency in
nomenclature and reporting and to enhance the utility of this document.
Requirements particular to the evaluation of specific characteristics of stents (e.g. coatings, drug-
elution, absorption) are incorporated by reference to appropriate standards. However, not all tests
listed in the referenced standards are applicable to vascular stents. Only tests that address the design
attributes specified in Clause 6 are required for compliance to this document.
This revised document introduces methodology to identify appropriate testing and analyses for a
specific vascular stent, designated as the device evaluation strategy. The requirement regarding the
device evaluation strategy is in the main body. Annex A provides guidance for developing a focused
device evaluation strategy table that is specific to the unique characteristics of a device, device design
modifications, or changes in intended use. Annex A also provides guidance for the development of a
comprehensive device evaluation strategy table that may be used when it is not sufficient to focus only
on the unique characteristics or changes.
NOTE ISO 25539-1:2017 includes tables that can be used to justify the testing needed for device design
modifications and changes in intended use in Annex A. In this document, this concept is called a focused device
evaluation strategy table and can be applied to a new device as well as device design modifications or changes in
the intended use.
The other significant modifications in the requirements include the addition of non-radial durability
testing, with guidance on the selection of appropriate testing, and specific requirements for testing
to evaluate patency-related characteristics. Guidance for the development of appropriate tests to meet
these requirements is included in Annex D.
The guidance on the development of methods to address the requirement for evaluating fatigue and
durability through computational analyses has been modified significantly to include recommendations
regarding verification of the solution and validation of the computational model, as well as reporting.
The guidance on the model development for simulated use has also been significantly revised to
improve the clinical relevance of this testing.
The specific requirements to evaluate pushability, flexibility, torquability, trackability, and deployment
accuracy of a stent system have been removed and incorporated within the simulated use evaluation
requirement to better reflect how these attributes are evaluated. Similarly, the requirement to evaluate
tubing tensile strength has been removed and incorporated within the evaluation of tensile bond
strength.
In addition to modifications to specific design evaluation requirements, guidance has been provided
regarding the assessment of the acceptability of test results. When the requirement is to quantitatively
appraise or analyse a parameter, test results generally may be compared to a quantitative value (i.e.
acceptance criteria). For characterization tests it is appropriate to provide an explanation of the
relevance of the results. Additionally, some testing may include comparison to test data or existing data
from a previously evaluated device.
For design evaluation, requirements regarding sampling, conditioning of test samples, and reporting
have been incorporated in the main body. Guidance on these elements of testing and documentation
were previously only included in Annex D.

rated in Annex D.
It is recognized by this ISO committee that many stent systems have been shown to be safe and effective
in clinical use. This update is not intended to require additional evaluation of these devices to remain
in compliance with this document as the testing would not provide useful information regarding the
expected clinical performance of the device. Manufacturers may rely on historical data gathered under
the guidance of the previous edition of ISO 25539-2. Similarly, for device modifications or changes in
intended clinical use, this update is not intended to require additional evaluation of any aspects of the
device that are not expected to change clinical performance.
NOTE The relationship between testing requirements, device attributes, and potential failure modes is
provided in Clause A.1. Clause A.1 also provides general information regarding device evaluation strategies.
Tables A.2 and A.3 provide the rationale for the requirements specified in this document for bench tests and
analyses to assess device performance. An explanation of the table headings for A.2 and A.3 are described in
Table A.1.
Guidance for the creation of a device-specific evaluation strategy is provided in Clause A.2. Two approaches to
create a device-specific evaluation strategy are provided: 1) focused device evaluation strategy in A.2.1; and 2)
comprehensive device evaluation strategy in A.2.2.
Annex B provides a description of the potential clinical effects of failure identified in Annex A.
Annex C provides a description of the potential device effects of failure identified in Annex A.
Additional descriptions of clinical and device effects of failure are included in Annexes B and C, respectively.
Annex D provides information to consider in developing appropriate bench test and analytical methods.

FINAL DRAFT INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO/FDIS 25539-2:2020(E)
Cardiovascular implants — Endovascular devices —
Part 2:
Vascular stents
1 Scope
This document specifies requirements for the evaluation of stent systems (vascular stents and delivery
systems) and requirements with respect to nomenclature, design attributes and information supplied
by the manufacturer, based upon current medical knowledge. Guidance for the development of in vitro
test methods is included in Annex D. This document is supplemental to ISO 14630, which specifies
general requirements for the performance of non-active surgical implants.
NOTE 1 Due to the variations in the design of implants covered by this document, and in some cases due to
the emergence of novel types of such implants, acceptable standardized in vitro tests and clinical results are not
always available. As further scientific and clinical data become available, appropriate revision of this document
will be necessary.
This document is applicable to vascular stents and vascular scaffolds (e.g. absorbable vascular
scaffolds) used to treat vascular stenoses or other vascular abnormalities or pathologies. Some of
the requirements are specific to endovascular treatment of arterial stenoses. Although uses of stent
systems other than treatment of arterial stenoses (e.g. venous stenting) are within the scope of this
document, comprehensive requirements and testing are not described for these uses. Similarly, specific
stent configurations (e.g. bifurcation stents) are within the scope, but comprehensive requirements and
testing are not described for these devices.
Stents used in combination with an endovascular prosthesis to complete the treatment of a lesion,
including bridging stents (e.g. stents placed in the renal arteries after deployment of a fenestrated
endovascular prosthesis), are within the scope of this document, but test methods are not described for
the combination. ISO 25539-1 also provides information relevant to the preclinical in vivo and clinical
evaluations of such stents.
Vascular stents that have surface modifications, such as drug and/or other coatings, are within the
scope of this document. Stents covered with materials that significantly modify the permeability of the
uncovered stent (e.g. by covering the stent-free-surface area) are within the scope of ISO 25539-1. The
stent design or intended use might dictate the need to address functional requirements identified in
both ISO 25539-1 and this document (e.g. stents used in combination with endovascular prostheses,
stents used to treat aortic aneurysms).
Balloons integral to the stent system are within the scope of this document. This document provides
requirements beyond the requirements of ISO 10555-4, which are specific to the use of balloons with
vascular stents.
This document is not applicable to procedures and devices used prior to the introduction of the vascular
stent, such as balloon angioplasty devices.
Tacking devices intended to spot treat post-angioplasty dissections, coil supporting devices, and flow
diverters are within the scope of this document, but comprehensive requirements and testing are not
described for these devices.
Although drug-eluting stents are within the scope of this document, this document is not comprehensive
with respect to the drug-eluting properties of these devices.
NOTE 2 Vascular device-drug combination products are within the scope of ISO 12417-1.
