Washer-disinfectors - Part 6: Requirements and tests for washer-disinfectors employing thermal disinfection for non-invasive, non-critical medical devices and healthcare equipment (ISO 15883-6:2011)

This part of ISO 15883 specifies particular requirements for washer-disinfectors (WDs) intended for use when the level of assurance of disinfection that is necessary can be achieved by cleaning and thermal disinfection (A0 not less than 60) and does not require an independent automated record of critical processes to be kept. It is intended to be used in conjunction with ISO 15883-1, which gives general requirements for WDs. The range of products on which WDs of this particular type can be used is restricted to devices and equipment which are non-invasive and non-critical (i.e. not penetrating skin or contacting mucosal surfaces).
NOTE Thermal disinfection can be achieved by rinsing the load with hot water, exposure to steam or combination of the two.

Reinigungs-Desinfektionsgeräte - Teil 6: Anforderungen und Prüfverfahren von Reinigungs-Desinfektionsgeräten mit thermischer Desinfektion für nichtinvasive, nicht kritische Medizinprodukte und Zubehör im Gesundheitswesens (ISO 15883-6:2011)

Der vorliegende Teil der ISO 15883 legt besondere Anforderungen an Reinigungs-Desinfektionsgeräte (RDG)
fest, die zur Verwendung vorgesehen sind, wenn der erforderliche Desinfektionssicherheitsgrad durch Reinigung
und thermische Desinfektion (A0 nicht unter 60) erreicht werden kann und es nicht erforderlich ist, eine
unabhängige automatisierte Aufzeichnung kritischer Prozesse aufzubewahren. Er soll zusammen mit
ISO 15883-1, welche allgemeine Anforderungen an RGD festlegt, angewendet werden.
Der Produktbereich, an dem RDG dieses Typs angewendet werden können, ist auf Produkte und Zubehör
beschränkt, die nicht invasiv und nicht kritisch sind (die d. h. nicht die Haut durchdringen oder Kontakt mit den
Schleimhautoberflächen haben).
ANMERKUNG Die thermische Desinfektion kann durch Spülen der Beladung mit heißem Wasser, durch Einwirkung
von Dampf oder durch eine Kombination aus Beidem erreicht werden.

Laveurs désinfecteurs - Partie 6: Exigences et essais pour les laveurs désinfecteurs utilisant une désinfection thermale pour les dispositifs médicaux non invasifs, non critiques et pour l'équipement de soins de santé (ISO 15883-6:2011)

L'ISO 15883-6:2011 spécifie les exigences particulières des laveurs désinfecteurs destinés à être utilisés lorsque le niveau d'assurance de désinfection nécessaire peut être obtenu par nettoyage et désinfection thermique (A0 au moins égal à 60) et ne nécessite pas que soit conservé un enregistrement automatique indépendant des procédés critiques. Elle est destinée à être utilisée conjointement à l'ISO 15883-1, qui donne des exigences générales pour les laveurs désinfecteurs.
La gamme de produits sur lesquels les laveurs désinfecteurs de ce type particulier peuvent être utilisés est limitée aux dispositifs et équipements non invasifs et non critiques (c'est-à-dire qui ne traversent pas la peau et qui ne sont pas en contact avec les muqueuses).

Čistilno-dezinfekcijske naprave - 6. del: Zahteve in preskusi za čistilno-dezinfekcijske naprave s toplotno dezinfekcijo za neinvazivne, nenujne medicinske pripomočke in zdravstveno opremo (ISO 15883-6:2011)

Ta del ISO 15883 določa posebne zahteve za čistilno-dezinfekcijske naprave (WD), namenjene uporabi, kadar se stopnja zagotovitve dezinfekcije, ki je potrebna, lahko doseže s čiščenjem in toplotno dezinfekcijo (AO ni manjši od 60) in ne zahteva hranjenja neodvisnega avtomatiziranega zapisa kritičnih procesov. Namenjen je uporabi skupaj z ISO 15883-1, ki podaja splošne zahteve za WD. Razpon proizvodov, na katerih se lahko uporabijo WD-ji tega določenega tipa, je omejen na pripomočke in opremo, ki so neinvazivni in nekritični (tj. ne predirajo kože in niso v stiku s površinami sluznice).
OPOMBA: Toplotna dezinfekcija je lahko dosežena s povečevanjem tlaka z vročo vodo, izpostavljenostjo pari ali kombinacijo obeh.

For devices which are also machinery within the meaning of Article 2(a) of Directive 2006/42/EC on
machinery, in accordance with Article 3 of Directive 93/42/EEC, Table ZA.2 details the relevant essential
requirements of Directive 2006/42/EC to the extent to which they are more specific than those of Directive

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.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. 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.
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.
ISO 15883-6 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 198, Sterilization of health care products.
ISO 15883 consists of the following parts, under the general title Washer-disinfectors:
⎯ Part 1: General requirements, terms and definitions and tests
⎯ Part 2: Requirements and tests for washer-disinfectors employing thermal disinfection for surgical
instruments, anaesthetic equipment, bowls, dishes, receivers, utensils, glassware, etc.
⎯ Part 3: Requirements and tests for washer-disinfectors employing thermal disinfection for human waste
containers
