Transfusion equipment for medical use - Part 5: Transfusion sets for single use with pressure infusion apparatus (ISO 1135-5:2015)

This part of ISO 1135 specifies requirements for single use transfusion sets for use with pressure infusion
equipment capable of generating pressures up to 200 kPa (2 bar). This International Standard ensures
compatibility with containers for blood and blood components as well as 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, to present designations for transfusion set
components, and to ensure the compatibility of sets with red cell and plasma blood components.
Platelet components should not be transfused under pressure using these sets.
In some countries, the national pharmacopoeia or other national regulations are legally binding and
take precedence over this part of ISO 1135.

Transfusionsgeräte zur medizinischen Verwendung - Teil 5: Transfusionsgeräte zur einmaligen Verwendung mit Druckinfusionsapparaten (ISO 1135-5:2015)

Dieser Teil von ISO 1135 legt Anforderungen an zur einmaligen Verwendung bestimmte Transfusionsgeräte fest, die mit Druckinfusionsapparaten mit erzeugten Drücken bis zu 200 kPa (2 bar) arbeiten. Die Norm stellt die Kompatibilität mit Behältern für Blut und Blutbestand¬teile und Geräten zur intravenösen Punktion sicher.
Weitere Ziele dieses Teils von ISO 1135 sind die Schaffung einer Anleitung zu Spezifikationen der Qualität und Leistungsfähigkeit von Werkstoffen, die für Transfusionsgeräte verwendet werden, die Angabe von Benennungen für Einzelteile von Transfusionsgeräten und die Sicherstellung der Kompatibilität der Geräte mit roten Blutkörperchen und Blutplasmabestandteilen.
Thrombozyten-Bestandteile sollten mit diesen Geräten nicht unter Druck übertragen werden.
In einigen Ländern sind das nationale Arzneibuch oder andere nationale Bestimmungen rechtlich bindend und haben Vorrang vor diesem Teil von ISO 1135.

Matériel de transfusion à usage médical - Partie 5: Appareils de transfusion non réutilisables avec des appareils de perfusion sous pression (ISO 1135-5:2015)

ISO 1135-5:2015 spécifie les exigences relatives aux appareils de transfusion non réutilisables, couplés à des appareils de perfusion sous pression capables de générer des pressions pouvant atteindre 200 kPa (2 bar). La présente Norme internationale assure la compatibilité avec les conteneurs de sang ou de composants sanguins, ainsi qu'avec le matériel d'injection intraveineuse.
Les objectifs secondaires de l'ISO 1135-5:2015 consistent à fournir des préconisations concernant les spécifications de qualité et de performance des matériaux utilisés dans les appareils de transfusion, de proposer des désignations pour les composants de ces appareils de transfusion, et d'assurer la compatibilité de ces appareils avec les produits hématiques et plasmiques du sang.
Il convient de ne pas transfuser de plaquettes sous pression avec ces appareils.
Dans certains pays, la pharmacopée ou d'autres règlements nationaux sont légalement obligatoires et ont donc préséance sur l'ISO 1135-5:2015.

Transfuzijska oprema za uporabo v medicini - 5. del: Transfuzijske garniture za enkratno uporabo s tlačno črpalko (ISO 1135-5:2015)

Ta del standarda ISO 1135 opredeljuje zahteve za transfuzijske garniture za enkratno uporabo s tlačno črpalko, ki lahko ustvari tlak do 200 kPa (2 bara). Ta mednarodni standard zagotavlja 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, predstaviti oznake za sestavne dele transfuzijskih garnitur, ter zagotoviti združljivost garnitur z naborom sestavin celic rdeče vrste in plazemskih krvnih sestavin. V teh garniturah naj ne bi izvajali transfuzije sestavin trombocitov pod tlakom. V nekaterih državah je nacionalna farmakopeja ali druga nacionalna zakonodaja pravno zavezujoča in ima prednost pred tem delom standarda ISO 1135.

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.

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 1135-5 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 76, Transfusion, infusion and injection, and blood
processing equipment for medical and pharmaceutical use.
This first edition of ISO 1135-5 together with ISO 1135-4, sixth edition, cancels and replaces the fifth edition
(ISO 1135-4:2012), of which the scope has been restricted to gravity feed and the whole document aligned
accordingly.
ISO 1135 consists of the following parts, under the general title Transfusion equipment for medical use:
 Part 3: Blood-taking set
 Part 4: Transfusion sets for single use, gravity feed
 Part 5: Transfusion sets for single use with pressure infusion apparatus

DRAFT INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO/DIS 1135-5

Transfusion equipment for medical use — Part 5: Transfusion
sets for single use with pressure infusion apparatus
1 Scope
This part of ISO 1135 specifies requirements for single use transfusion sets for use with pressure infusion
equipment capable of generating pressures up to 200 kPa (2 bar). The standard ensures compatibility with
containers for blood and blood components as well as 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, to present designations for transfusion set components and
to ensure the compatibility of sets with red cell and plasma blood components.
Platelet components should not be transfused under pressure using these sets.
In some countries, the national pharmacopoeia or other national regulations are legally binding and take
precedence over this part of ISO 1135.
