Transfusion equipment for medical use - Part 4: Transfusion sets for single use (ISO 1135-4:2012)

This part of ISO 1135 specifies requirements for single-use transfusion sets for medical use in order to ensure their compatibility with containers for blood and blood components as well as with intravenous equipment. Secondary aims of this part of ISO 1135 are to provide guidance on specifications relating to the quality and performance of materials used in transfusion sets and to present designations for transfusion set components. In some countries, the national pharmacopoeia or other national regulations are legally binding and take precedence over this part of ISO 1135.

Matériel de transfusion à usage médical - Partie 4: Appareils de transfusion non réutilisables (ISO 1135-4:2012)

L'ISO 1135-4:2012 spécifie les exigences applicables aux appareils de transfusion à usage médical, non réutilisables, afin d'assurer leur compatibilité avec les conteneurs renfermant du sang et des composants du sang, ainsi qu'avec les appareils intraveineux.
Les objectifs secondaires de l'ISO 1135-4:2012 sont de donner des lignes directrices sur les spécifications relatives à la qualité et aux performances des matériaux utilisés dans les appareils de transfusion, et de proposer une terminologie relative aux composants de ces derniers.
Dans certains pays, la pharmacopée nationale ou d'autres réglementations nationales sont légalement contraignantes et priment sur l'ISO 1135-4:2012.

Transfuzijska oprema za uporabo v medicini - 4. del: Transfuzijske garniture za enkratno uporabo (ISO 1135-4:2012)

Ta del standarda ISO 1135 določa zahteve za transfuzijske garniture za enkratno uporabo v medicini, da se zagotovi njihova združljivost z vsebniki za kri in krvne sestavine ter z intravenozno opremo. Druga cilja tega dela standarda ISO 1135 sta zagotoviti navodila za specifikacije v zvezi s kakovostjo in učinkovitostjo materialov, uporabljenih za transfuzijske garniture, ter predstaviti oznake za sestavne dele transfuzijskih garnitur. V nekaterih državah je nacionalna farmakopeja ali druga nacionalna zakonodaja pravno zavezujoča in ima prednost pred tem delom standarda ISO 1135.

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 1135-4 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 76, Transfusion, infusion and injection, and blood
processing equipment for medical and pharmaceutical use.
This fifth edition cancels and replaces the fourth edition (ISO 1135-4:2010), which has been revised at
Figure 2 (dimensions of the closure-piercing device), at 6.1, at 8.2 (Note), and at B.2 (last sentence).

3.3 Designation
A transfusion set complying with the requirements of this part of ISO 1135 is designated as follows.
Transfusion set ISO 1135-4
4 Materials
The materials from which the transfusion sets given in Clause 3 are manufactured shall comply with the
requirements specified in Clause 5. If components of the transfusion set come into contact with blood and
blood components, they shall additionally comply with the requirements specified in Clauses 6 and 7.
5 Physical requirements
5.1 Particulate contamination
The transfusion sets shall be manufactured under conditions that minimize particulate contamination. All parts
shall be smooth and clean at the fluid pathway surfaces. When tested as specified in A.1, the number of
particles detected shall not exceed the contamination index limit.
5.2 Leakage
The transfusion set, when tested in accordance with A.2, shall show no signs of air leakage.
5.3 Tensile strength
Any connections between the components of the transfusion set, excluding protective caps, shall withstand a
static tensile force of not less than 15 N for 15 s.
5.4 Closure-piercing device
5.4.1 The dimensions of the closure-piercing device shall conform to the dimensions shown in Figure 2.
NOTE The dimension of 15 mm in Figure 2 is a reference measurement. The cross-section of the piercing device at
this site is a circle.
