Le présent document établit une approche permettant de vérifier/valider la conception et la fabrication d'une prothèse valvulaire implantée par transcathéter dans une optique de gestion du risque. La sélection des méthodes et des essais de vérification/validation appropriés se fait à partir de l'appréciation du risque. Des essais peuvent être destinés à évaluer les propriétés physiques, chimiques, biologiques et mécaniques de prothèses valvulaires ainsi que celles de leurs matériaux et composants. Les essais peuvent également englober les essais destinés à l'évaluation préclinique in vivo et à l'évaluation clinique des prothèses valvulaires à l'état fini.
Le présent document définit les conditions de fonctionnement et les exigences de performance relatives aux prothèses valvulaires implantées par transcathéter lorsqu'il existe une preuve scientifique et/ou clinique adéquate pour les justifier.
Le présent document comprend des considérations relatives à l'implantation par transcathéter d'une prothèse valvulaire dans un dispositif prothétique préexistant (par exemple les configurations «valve-in-valve» et «valve-in-ring»).

This document is applicable to all devices intended for implantation as a transcatheter heart valve

substitute.

This document is applicable to transcatheter heart valve substitutes and to the accessory devices,

packaging and labelling required for their implantation and for determining the appropriate size of

heart valve substitute to be implanted.

This document establishes an approach for verifying/validating the design and manufacture of

a transcatheter heart valve substitute through risk management. The selection of appropriate

verification/validation tests and methods are to be derived from the risk assessment. The tests can

include those to assess the physical, chemical, biological and mechanical properties of heart valve

substitutes and of their materials and components. The tests can also include those for preclinical in

vivo evaluation and clinical evaluation of the finished heart valve substitute.

This document defines operational conditions and performance requirements for transcatheter heart

valve substitutes where adequate scientific and/or clinical evidence exists for their justification.

This document includes considerations for implantation of a transcatheter heart valve substitute inside

a pre-existing prosthetic device (e.g. valve-in-valve and valve-in-ring configurations).
