Annex ZA
(informative)

Relationship between this European Standard and the Essential
Requirements of EU Directive 93/42/EEC on Medical devices
This European Standard has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission
and the European Free Trade Association to provide a means of conforming to Essential Requirements of the
New Approach Directive 93/42/EEC, Medical devices
Once this standard is cited in the Official Journal of the European Communities under that Directive and has
been implemented as a national standard in at least one Member State, compliance with the clauses of this
standard given in Table ZA.1 confers, within the limits of the scope of this standard, a presumption of
conformity with the corresponding Essential Requirements of that Directive and associated EFTA regulations.
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 Directive 93/42/EEC / Directive 90/385/EEC, as amended by
2007/47/EC. This means that risks have to be reduced ‘as far as possible’, ‘to a minimum’, ‘to the lowest possible level’,
‘minimized’ or ‘removed’, according to the wording of the corresponding essential requirement.
NOTE 2 The manufacturer’s policy for determining acceptable risk must be in compliance with essential requirements
1, 2, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 11 and 12 of the Directive.
NOTE 3 This Annex ZA is based on Normative References according to Table of References, replacing the references
in the core text.
NOTE 4 When an Essential Requirement does not appear in Table ZA.1, it means that it is not addressed by this
European Standard.

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.

assessment, as well as information about ISO’s adherence to the WTO principles in the Technical
Barriers to Trade (TBT) see the following URL: Foreword - Supplementary information

Introduction
In some countries, national pharmacopoeias or other government regulations are legally binding and
these requirements take precedence over this part of ISO 3826.
The manufacturers of the plastics container or the suppliers are expected to disclose in confidence
to the national control authority, if requested by them, full details of the plastics material(s) and the
components of the materials and their methods of manufacture, details of manufacture of the plastics
containers including the chemical names and quantities of any additives, whether incorporated by the
manufacturer of the plastics containers or present in the raw material, as well as full details of any
additives that have been used.
Universal leucocyte depletion is mandatory in various countries. This part of ISO 3826 is considered a
basic document for other standards which include technical innovations.
The requirements in this part of ISO 3826 are intended to
a) ensure that the quality of blood and blood components is maintained as high as necessary,
b) make possible efficient and safe collection, identification, storage, separation, and transfusion of
the contents with special attention to reducing or minimizing the risks resulting from
— contamination, in particular microbiological contamination,
— air embolism,
— errors in identification of plastics containers and any representative samples of contents, and
— interaction between the plastics container and its contents,
c) ensure functional compatibility when used in combination with transfusion sets as specified in
ISO 1135-4 and ISO 1135-5, and
d) provide a package with appropriate resistance to breakage and deterioration.

Part 4:
Aphaeresis blood bag systems with integrated features
1 Scope
This part of ISO 3826 specifies requirements including performance requirements for aphaeresis
blood bag systems with integrated features. Aphaeresis blood bag systems need not contain all of the
integrated features identified in this part of ISO 3826.
The integrated features refer to:
— needle stick protection device;
— leucocyte filter;
— sterile barrier filter;
— pre-collection sampling device;
— red blood cell storage bag;
— plasma storage bag;
— platelet storage bag;
— polymorphonucleic (e.g. stem) cell storage bag;
— post-collection sampling devices; and
— connections for storage solutions, anticoagulant, and replacement fluid.
This part of ISO 3826 specifies additional requirements for blood bag systems used to collect varying
quantities of blood components or cells by apheresis. This part of ISO 3826 can be used on automated or
semi-automated blood collection systems.
