(Main)Neurosurgical implants - Sterile, single-use hydrocephalus shunts (ISO 7197:2024)
Neurosurgical implants - Sterile, single-use hydrocephalus shunts (ISO 7197:2024)
ISO 7197:2006 specifies safety and performance requirements for sterile, single-use non-active hydrocephalus shunts and components. This includes the components used in shunts, like valves, tubes and reservoirs.
For manufacturing, ISO 7197:2006 defines the mechanical and technical requirements. This International Standard defines the technical information of the valve, to be given by the manufacturer. In respect to the different principles of the valve types, specific characteristics are defined for each group as declared by the manufacturer.
The benefit of ISO 7197:2006 for the surgeon and the patient is to understand the information given by the manufacturer and to obtain standardized information about the performance of a well working product with new design characteristics. The benefit for the manufacturer is to define the important requirements for shunts as a basis for investigations during development as well as for quality control during manufacture.
Neurochirurgische Implantate - Sterile Hydrozephalus-Shunts zum Einmalgebrauch und deren Bestandteile (ISO 7197:2024)
Dieses Dokument legt Anforderungen an die Leistung steriler nicht aktiver Hydrozephalus-Shunts zum Einmalgebrauch fest. Dazu gehören nicht nur das Ventil, sondern auch zusätzliche Bestandteile, wie z. B. Schläuche und Vorratsbehälter.
Dieses Dokument gibt keine Empfehlungen darüber, welcher Ventiltyp am geeignetsten für einen bestimmten Anwendungskontext ist.
Dieses Dokument legt die mechanischen und technischen Anforderungen für die Herstellung von Shunts und die durch den Hersteller bereitzustellenden technischen Informationen zum Ventil fest.
Dieses Dokument ist nicht anwendbar für aktive Implantate zur Behandlung des Hydrozephalus.
Implants neurochirurgicaux - Systèmes de dérivation stériles, non réutilisables, pour hydrocéphalie (ISO 7197:2024)
L'ISO 7197:2006 spécifie les exigences de sécurité et de performance requises pour les systèmes de dérivation et composants stériles, non réutilisables, pour l'hydrocéphalie, notamment les valves, les tubes et les réservoirs.
L'ISO 7197:2006 définit les exigences mécaniques et techniques relatives à la fabrication. Elle définit les informations techniques concernant la valve qui doivent être fournies par le fabricant. Compte tenu du fait que les différents types de valves fonctionnent selon des principes différents, des caractéristiques spécifiques sont définies pour chaque groupe selon les indications du fabricant.
Pour le chirurgien comme pour le patient, l'ISO 7197:2006 a pour avantage de permettre de mieux comprendre les indications données par le fabricant et d'avoir une information normalisée concernant le fonctionnement d'un produit en bon état de marche, doté de nouvelles caractéristiques de conception. Pour le fabricant, l'avantage est de définir les exigences importantes applicables aux systèmes de dérivation qui seront utilisées comme base d'investigation dans les phases de développement ainsi que pour les contrôles et les essais en cours de fabrication.

Annex ZA
(informative)
Relationship between this European Standard the General Safety and
Performance Requirements of Regulation (EU) 2017/745 aimed to be
covered
This European Standard has been prepared under a Commission’s standardization request “M/575” to
provide one voluntary means of conforming to the General Safety and Performance Requirements of
Regulation (EU) 2017/745 of 5 April 2017 concerning medical devices [OJ L 117].
Once this standard is cited in the Official Journal of the European Union under that Regulation,
compliance with the normative clauses of this standard given in Table ZA.1 and application of the
edition of the normatively referenced standards as given in Table ZA.2 confers, within the limits of the
scope of this standard, a presumption of conformity with the corresponding General Safety and
Performance Requirements of that Regulation, and associated EFTA regulations.
Where a definition in this standard differs from a definition of the same term set out in Regulation (EU)
2017/745, the differences shall be indicated in this Annex Z. For the purpose of using this standard in
support of the requirements set out in Regulation (EU) 2017/745, the definitions set out in this
Regulation prevail.
Where the European standard is an adoption of an International Standard, the scope of this standard
can differ from the scope of the European Regulation that it supports. As the scope of the applicable
regulatory requirements differ from nation to nation and region to region, the standard can only
support European regulatory requirements to the extent of the scope of the European regulation for
medical devices (EU) 2017/745).
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 Regulation (EU) 2017/745. This means that risks have to be
‘reduced as far as possible’, ‘reduced to the lowest possible level’, ‘reduced as far as possible and appropriate’,
‘removed or reduced as far as possible’, ‘eliminated or reduced as far as possible’, ’removed or minimized as far as
possible’, or ‘minimized’, according to the wording of the corresponding General Safety and Performance
Requirement.
NOTE 2 The manufacturer’s policy for determining acceptable risk must be in compliance with General Safety
and Performance Requirements 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 8, 9, 10, 11, 14, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21 and 22 of the Regulation.
NOTE 3 When a General Safety and Performance Requirement does not appear in Table ZA.1, it means that it is
not addressed by this European Standard.
Table ZA.1 — Correspondence between this European Standard and Annex I of
Regulation (EU) 2017/745 [OJ L 117] and to system or process requirements including those
