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
on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www .iso .org/ patents).
Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not
constitute an endorsement.

This document was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 84, Devices for administration of medicinal
products and catheters.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 7886-2:1996), which has been technically
revised. The main changes compared to the previous edition are as follows:
— Syringe sizes 1 ml to 5 ml were added to the scope of this document.
— Overall flow rate requirement was removed from Clause 14 as it is predominantly affected by the
barrel inner diameter (ID), which is addressed in Clause 11.
— Pump test speeds were adjusted for each syringe size to better reflect the range of speeds used in
general clinical settings.

ISO 7886-2:2020(E)

Introduction
0.1  General
In the preparation of this document, it was recognized at an early stage that the absolute criterion
of performance is achieved by the combination of the power-driven syringe pump and the syringe
working as a complete system. The dependence of one element of the system on the performance of
the other is a key factor. It is essential for the manufacturer of one of these components to liaise with
the manufacturer of the other when considering changes in design, in order to ensure satisfactory
operation of the system. In particular, a syringe manufacturer should give information on tolerances
and relationships between the syringe dimensions specified in this document and on performance
characteristics such as the force to move the plunger, and the variation which might be expected.
The selection of test speeds for flow rate accuracy recognized that low speeds are worse-case and
result in large variation; however, selecting speeds of less than 1 ml/h was considered inappropriate
due to limitations of the gravimetric test method error (due to factors such as balance stabilization and
difficulty in measuring micro amounts of fluid using balances designed for static measurements).
It is recognized that start-up time and travel through parking position may impact pump forces and
should be considered for exclusion, if necessary.
The syringe driver and measurement equipment characteristics might influence test method error;
therefore, it is recommended to include the appropriate level of accuracy and precision of equipment
and to perform test method validations.
0.2  Design criteria
The use of syringes which were initially designed and used as manually-operated devices in syringe
pumps now makes it desirable to achieve much tighter tolerances on syringe dimensions than normally
required for manual use.
It is understood that the degree of investment worldwide by all syringe manufacturers in molding and
manufacturing equipment is such that a change such as modifying diameters of push-buttons or the
barrel inner diameter (ID) is largely out of reach of the syringe industry.
Typically, the hard height of a syringe has never been regarded as a particularly critical dimension. Its
tolerances are relatively loose. The hard-height dimension is a function of not only the total length of
plunger rod and the barrel, but also the thickness of the piston and barrel flanges. The piston thickness,
by virtue of its relatively unsophisticated manufacturing process, can vary considerably. Because all
these components are manufactured in multi-cavity molds from many molds around the world, the
cumulative extreme tolerance buildup from cavity to cavity and mold to mold and location to location is
such that these previously noncritical dimensions cannot be instantly tightened.
0.3 Syringe identification
It is important that when a syringe is fitted to a syringe pump, the pump is correctly programmed to
perform satisfactorily with the particular syringe installed.
In view of the consequences of incorrect syringe identification by the pump, the need for an automatic
system is recognized. Methods already in use, such as mechanical sensing of the syringe outer diameter,
are not deemed feasible in the long term to reduce errors in syringe identification. This is due to
overlapping ranges of diameter of syringes produced by different manufacturers. It is also recognized
that standardization of syringe barrel diameters (IDs) across the industry is not a realistic option.
A means by which the pump could automatically identify the syringe model and use this to program
such information as barrel inner diameter (ID), plunger force and occlusion alarm settings is seen as
the next stage of this standard. A possible method of recognition is to identify the syringe and nominal
capacity by means of a marking code on the barrel, printed at the same time as the syringe scale, and to
use this to program the pump automatically. It is recommended that development of such a system be
worked on as soon as possible.

0.4  Infusion speeds and syringe size selection
The flow rates described in this document are for syringe tests and are not recommendations for
clinical practice.
In general, as flow rate accuracy is dependent on linear travel of the plunger/pump driver, smaller size
syringes tend to have a higher resolution and they also tend to have a higher flow rate accuracy at
slower speeds.

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
on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www .iso .org/patents).
Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not
constitute an endorsement.
For an explanation on the voluntary nature of standards, the meaning of ISO specific terms and
expressions related to conformity assessment, as well as information about ISO's adherence to the
World Trade Organization (WTO) principles in the Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) see the following
URL: www .iso .org/iso/foreword .html.
This document was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 84, Devices for administration of medicinal
products and catheters.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 7886-2:1996), which has been technically
revised.
The main changes compared to the previous edition are as follows:
— General:
In the preparation of this document, it was recognized at an early stage that the absolute criterion
of performance is achieved by the combination of the power-driven syringe pump and the syringe
working as a complete system. The dependence of one element of the system on the performance of
the other is a key factor. It is essential for the manufacturer of one of these components to liaise with
the manufacturer of the other when considering changes in design, in order to ensure satisfactory
operation of the system. In particular, a syringe manufacturer should give information on tolerances
and relationships between the syringe dimensions specified in this document and on performance
characteristics such as the force to move the plunger, and the variation which might be expected.
Syringe sizes 1 ml to 5 ml were added to the scope of this document.
Overall flow rate requirement was removed from Clause 14 as it is predominantly affected by the barrel
ID, which is addressed in Clause 12.
The selection of test speeds for flow rate accuracy recognized that low speeds are worse-case and
result in large variation; however, selecting speeds of less than 1 ml/h was considered inappropriate
due to limitations of the gravimetric test method error [due to factors such as balance stabilization and
difficulty in measuring micro amounts of fluid using balances designed for static measurements].
Pump test speeds were adjusted for each syringe size to better reflect the range of speeds used in
general clinical settings. It is recognized that start-up time and travel through parking position may
impact pump forces and should be considered for exclusion, if necessary.

The syringe driver and measurement equipment characteristics may influence test method error;
therefore, it is recommended to include the appropriate level of accuracy and precision of equipment
and to perform test method validations.
— Design criteria:
The use of syringes which were initially designed and used as manually-operated devices in syringe
pumps now makes it desirable to achieve much tighter tolerances on syringe dimensions than normally
required for manual use.
It is understood that the degree of investment worldwide by all syringe manufacturers in molding and
manufacturing equipment is such that a change such as modifying diameters of push-buttons or the
barrel inner diameter is largely out of reach of the syringe industry.
Typically, the hard height of a syringe has never been regarded as a particularly critical dimension. Its
tolerances are relatively loose. The hard-height dimension is a function of not only the total length of
plunger rod and the barrel, but also the thickness of the piston and barrel flanges. The piston thickness,
by virtue of its relatively unsophisticated manufacturing process, can vary considerably. Because all
these components are manufactured in multi-cavity molds from many molds around the world, the
cumulative extreme tolerance buildup from cavity to cavity and mold to mold and location to location is
such that these previously noncritical dimensions cannot be instantly tightened.
— Syringe identification:
It is important that when a syringe is fitted to a syringe pump, the pump is correctly programmed to
perform satisfactorily with the particular syringe installed.
In view of the consequences of incorrect syringe identification by the pump, the need for an automatic
system is recognized. Methods already in use, such as mechanical sensing of the syringe outer diameter,
are not deemed feasible in the long term to reduce errors in syringe identification. This is due to
overlapping ranges of diameter of syringes produced by different manufacturers. It is also recognized
that standardization of syringe barrel diameters across the industry is not a realistic option.
A means by which the pump could automatically identify the syringe model and use this to program
such information as barrel inner diameter, plunger force and occlusion alarm settings is seen as the
next stage of this standard. A possible method of recognition is to identify the syringe and nominal
capacity by means of a marking code on the barrel, printed at the same time as the syringe scale, and to
use this to program the pump automatically. It is recommended that development of such a system be
worked on as soon as possible.
— Infusion speeds and syringe size selection:
The flow rates described in this document are for syringe tests and are not recommendations for
clinical practice.
In general, as flow rate accuracy is dependent on linear travel of the plunger/pump driver, smaller size
syringes tend to have a higher resolution also tend to have higher flow rate accuracy at slower speeds.
A list of all parts in the ISO 7886- series can be found on the ISO website.
Any feedback or questions on this document should be directed to the user’s national standards body. A
