Medical gloves for single use - Part 2: Requirements and testing for physical properties

This standard specifies requirements and gives test methods for physical properties of single-use medical gloves in order to ensure and maintain in use an adequate level of protection from cross contamination for both patient and user.

Medizinische Handschuhe zum einmaligen Gebrauch - Teil 2: Anforderungen und Prüfung der physikalischen Eigenschaften

Diese Norm legt Anforderungen und Prüfmethoden der physikalischen Eigenschaften medizinischer Handschuhe zum einmaligen Gebrauch (d. h. Operationshandschuhe und Untersuchungshandschuhe) fest, um sicherzustellen, dass bei Gebrauch ausreichender Schutz vor Kontamination für Patient und Anwender gewährleistet und aufrechterhalten wird.

Gants médicaux non réutilisables - Partie 2 : Propriétés physiques : Exigences et essais

La présente partie de la présente Norme spécifie les exigences et méthodes d'essai relatives aux propriétés physiques des gants médicaux non réutilisables (c'est-à-dire des gants de chirurgie et des gants d'examen et de soins), afin de garantir qu'ils assurent et conservent pendant toute la durée de leur utilisation un niveau de protection suffisant contre toute contamination croisée, à la fois pour le patient et pour l'utilisateur

Medicinske rokavice za enkratno uporabo - 2. del: Zahteve in preskusi za ugotavljanje fizikalnih lastnosti

Ta evropski standard določa zahteve in podaja preskusne metode za ugotavljanje fizikalnih lastnosti medicinskih rokavic za enkratno uporabo (tj. kirurških rokavic ter rokavic za preglede/postopke), ki zagotavljajo, da rokavice omogočajo in med uporabo ohranjajo primerno raven zaščite bolnika in uporabnika pred navzkrižno okužbo. Ta standard ne določa velikosti lota.  Upoštevati je treba težave, ki so lahko povezane z dostavo in nadzorom zelo velikih lotov. Največja priporočena velikost posameznega lota za proizvodnjo je 500.000.
