Surgical drapes, gowns and clean air suits, used as medical devices, for patients, clinical staff and equipment - Part 1: General requirements for manufacturers, processors and products

This standard specifies information to be supplied to users and third party verifiers, in addition to the usual labelling of medical devices (see EN 980 and EN 1041), concerning manufacturing and processing requirements. This standard gives general guidance on the characteristics of single-use and reusable surgical gowns, surgical drapes and clean air suits used as medical devices for patients, clinical staff and equipment. It is intended to prevent the transmission of infective agents between patients and clinical staff during surgical and other invasive procedures.
Surgical masks, surgical gloves, packaging materials, foot and head wear and incision drapes are not covered by EN 13795. Requirements for medical gloves are given in the EN 455 series of European Standards and packaging materials are covered by the EN 868 series. Requirements for surgical masks and head coverings will be specified in future CEN/TC 205 standards.
EN 13795 does not cover requirements for flammability of products used in laser surgery. Suitable test methods for flammability and resistance to penetration by laser radiation, together with an appropriate classification system, are given in EN ISO 11810. Additional essential requirements that apply to surgical clothing and drapes are covered by other European Standards.

Operationsabdecktücher, -mäntel und Rein-Luft-Kleidung zur Verwendung als Medizinprodukte für Patienten, Klinikpersonal und Geräte - Teil 1: Allgemeine Anforderungen für Hersteller, Aufbereiter und Produkte

Diese Norm legt die in Ergänzung zur üblichen Kennzeichnung von Medizinprodukten (siehe EN 980 und
EN 1041) zu liefernden Informationen für die Anwender und die Prüfer einer Dritten Seite hinsichtlich der Anforderungen
an die Herstellung und Wiederaufbereitung fest. Diese Norm bietet allgemeine Leitlinien für die
Eigenschaften von Einweg- und Mehrweg-Operationsmänteln, Abdecktüchern und Rein-Luft-Kleidung zur
Verwendung als Medizinprodukte für Patienten, Klinikpersonal und Geräte. Sie dient dazu, die Übertragung
infektiöser Agenzien zwischen den Patienten und dem Klinikpersonal während chirurgischer und sonstiger
invasiver Eingriffe zu verhindern.
Gesichtsmasken, Operationshandschuhe, Verpackungsmaterial, Fußbekleidung und Kopfbedeckungen sowie
Inzisionsfolien werden in Reihe EN 13795 nicht behandelt. Anforderungen an Operationshandschuhe sind in
den Europäischen Normen der Reihe EN 455 festgelegt, und Verpackungsmaterialien sind von den Normen
der Reihe EN 868 abgedeckt. Anforderungen an Gesichtsmasken und Kopfbedeckungen werden in weiteren
Normen des CEN/TC 205 festgelegt.
Reihe EN 13795 befasst sich nicht mit Anforderungen an die Entflammbarkeit von in der Laserchirurgie verwendeten
Produkten. Geeignete Prüfverfahren für die Entflammbarkeit und den Widerstand gegen die Durchdringung
durch Laserstrahlung, zusammen mit einer geeigneten Klassifizierung, sind in EN ISO 11810 angegeben.
Zusätzliche grundlegende Anforderungen, die für Operationsmäntel und -abdecktücher gelten, sind in
weiteren Europäischen Normen festgelegt.

L’EN 13795-1 spécifie les informations à fournir aux utilisateurs et aux tiers vérificateurs en plus de l’étiquetage
standard des dispositifs médicaux (voir l’EN 980 et l’EN 1041), concernant les exigences relatives à la fabrication et
au traitement. Cette norme donne des indications générales sur les caractéristiques des champs chirurgicaux, des
casaques et des tenues de bloc à usage unique et réutilisables utilisés en tant que dispositifs médicaux pour,
les patients, le personnel et les équipements. Elle vise à prévenir la transmission d’agents infectieux entre les patients
et le personnel chirurgical au cours des interventions chirurgicales et autres interventions invasives.
L’EN 13795 ne traite pas des masques chirurgicaux, des gants chirurgicaux, des matériaux d’emballage, des
surchaussures, des articles coiffants et des champs à inciser. Les exigences relatives aux gants médicaux sont
traitées dans la série des Normes européennes EN 455, et les matériaux d’emballage sont abordés dans la série
EN 868. Les exigences relatives aux masques chirurgicaux et aux articles coiffants seront spécifiées dans des
normes élaborées ultérieurement par le CEN/TC 205.
L’EN 13795 n’aborde pas les exigences relatives à l’inflammabilité des produits utilisés en chirurgie laser.
Les méthodes d’essai appropriées à l’inflammabilité et à la résistance à la pénétration par rayonnement laser, ainsi
qu’un système de classification adéquat, sont traités dans l’EN ISO 11810. D’autres exigences essentielles
applicables aux vêtements et aux champs chirurgicaux sont traitées par d’autres normes européennes.

Introduction The transmission of infective agents during invasive surgical procedures can occur in several ways (see annex C). !Surgical drapes, including the intended use as a sterile field, gowns and clean air suits are used to minimize the spread of infective agents to and from patients’ operating wounds, thereby helping to prevent post-operative wound infections (see Annex C)." The performance required of coverings for patients, clinical staff and equipment varies with, for example, the type and duration of the procedure, the degree of wetness of the operation field, the degree of mechanical stress on the materials and the susceptibility of the patient to infection. The use of surgical gowns with resistance to the penetration of liquids can also diminish the risk to the operating staff from blood-borne infective agents carried in blood or body fluids. The EN 13795 series of European Standards, together with EN ISO 22610 and EN ISO 22612, is intended to assist the communication between users, manufacturers and third party verifiers with regard to material or product characteristics. It focuses on relevant Essential Requirements arising from the Medical Device Directive 93/42/EEC. The general requirements and guidance in EN 13795-1 are expected to be of help to manufacturers, test houses and users when designing, processing, assessing and selecting products. It is the intention of EN 13795 to ensure the same level of safety from single-use and reusable surgical clothing and drapes throughout their useful life. 1 Scope This standard specifies information to be supplied to users and third party verifiers, in addition to the usual labelling of medical devices (see EN 980 and EN 1041), concerning manufacturing and processing requirements. This standard gives general guidance on the characteristics of single-use and reusable surgical gowns, surgical drapes and clean air suits used as medical devices for patients, clinical staff and equipment. It is intended to prevent the transmission of infective agents between patients and clinical staff during surgical and other invasive procedures. Surgical masks, surgical gloves, packaging materials, foot and head wear and incision drapes are not covered by EN 13795. Requirements for medical gloves are given in the EN 455 series of European Standards and packaging materials are covered by the EN 868 series. Requirements for surgical masks and head coverings will be specified in future CEN/TC 205 standards. EN 13795 does not cover requirements for flammability of products used in laser surgery. Suitable test methods for flammability and resistance to penetration by laser radiation, together with an appropriate classification system, are given in EN ISO 11810. Additional essential requirements that apply to surgical clothing and drapes are covered by other European Standards. 2 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this European Standard, the following terms and definitions apply. 2.1 clean air suit suit intended and shown to minimize contamination of the operating wound by the wearer's skin scales carrying infective agents via the operating room air thereby reducing the risk of wound infection NOTE Unlike the suit usually worn in the operation room, the clean air suit is designed to reduce the operating room air contamination by personnel. 2.2 cleanliness freedom from unwanted foreign matter SIST EN 13795-1:2003+A1:2009
