Cardiovascular implants - Cardiac valve prostheses - Part 1: General requirements (ISO 5840-1:2021)

This document is applicable to heart valve substitutes intended for implantation and provides general
requirements. Subsequent parts of the ISO 5840 series provide specific requirements.
This document is applicable to newly developed and modified heart valve substitutes and to the
accessory devices, packaging, and labelling required for their implantation and for determining the
appropriate size of the heart valve substitute to be implanted.
ISO 5840-1 outlines an approach for verifying/validating the design and manufacture of a heart valve
substitute through risk management. The selection of appropriate qualification tests and methods
are 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.
ISO 5840-1 defines operational conditions for heart valve substitutes.
ISO 5840-1 furthermore defines terms that are also applicable to ISO 5840-2 and ISO 5840-3.
ISO 5840-1 does not provide requirements specific to homografts, tissue engineered heart valves
(e.g. valves intended to regenerate in vivo), and heart valve substitutes designed for implantation in
circulatory support devices. Some of the provisions of ISO 5840-1 can be applied to valves made from
human tissue that is rendered non-viable.
NOTE A rationale for the provisions of ISO 5840-1 is given in Annex A.

Herz- und Gefäßimplantate - Herzklappenprothesen - Teil 1: Allgemeine Anforderungen (ISO 5840-1:2021)

Dieses Dokument ist auf Herzklappenersatz anwendbar, der für die Implantation in den Körper vorgesehen ist, und enthält allgemeine Anforderungen. Spezifische Anforderungen werden in den anderen Teilen der Normenreihe ISO 5840 festgelegt.
Dieses Dokument gilt für neu entwickelten und veränderten Herzklappenersatz; die Zubehörteile, Verpackung und Kennzeichnung, die für die Implantation erforderlich sind; und die Bestimmung der geeigneten Größe des zu implantierenden Herzklappenersatzes.
ISO 5840-1 umreißt eine Herangehensweise zur Überprüfung/Validierung des Designs und der Herstellung eines Herzklappenersatzes auf der Grundlage des Risikomanagements. Die Auswahl der geeigneten Qualifi¬kationsprüfungen und  verfahren leitet sich aus der Risikobeurteilung ab. Zu diesen Prüfungen können solche zur Beurteilung der physikalischen, chemischen, biologischen und mechanischen Eigenschaften eines Herzklappenersatzes und von dessen Werkstoffen und Bauteilen gehören. Diese Prüfungen können auch die vorklinische In vivo  und die klinische Bewertung des fertigen Herzklappenersatzes einschließen.
ISO 5840-1 legt Betriebsbedingungen für Herzklappenersatz fest.
ISO 5840 1 definiert darüber hinaus Begriffe, die auch für ISO 5840 2 und ISO 5840 3 gelten.
ISO 5840-1 stellt keine Anforderungen, die für Homografte, gewebetechnologisch hergestellte Herzklappen (z. B. Herzklappen, die In vivo regenerieren sollen) und Herzklappenersatz, der für die Implantation in Kreislaufunterstützungssystemen ausgelegt ist, spezifisch sind. Einige der Regelungen von ISO 5840-1 können auf aus abgetötetem menschlichen Gewebe hergestellten Klappen angewendet werden.
ANMERKUNG Eine Begründung für die Festlegungen von ISO 5840-1 wird in Anhang A gegeben.

Implants cardiovasculaires - Prothèses valvulaires - Partie 1: Exigences générales (ISO 5840-1:2021)

Le présent document s'applique aux prothèses valvulaires destinées à une implantation chez l'homme et établit des exigences générales. Les exigences spécifiques figurent dans les parties qui succèdent à la présente partie de l'ISO 5840.
Le présent document s'applique aux prothèses valvulaires récemment mises au point et aux prothèses valvulaires modifiées, ainsi qu'aux dispositifs auxiliaires, à l'emballage et à l'étiquetage exigés pour leur implantation. Il s'applique également à la détermination de la taille appropriée de la prothèse valvulaire à implanter.
L'ISO 5840-1 présente une approche pour la vérification/validation de la conception et la fabrication d'une prothèse valvulaire à travers la gestion des risques. La sélection des méthodes et des essais de qualification 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.
L'ISO 5840-1 définit les conditions de fonctionnement des prothèses valvulaires.
En outre, l'ISO 5840-1 définit les termes qui sont aussi applicable à l'ISO 5840-2 et l'ISO 5840-3.
L'ISO 5840-1 ne contient pas d'exigences spécifiques aux homogreffes, aux valves cardiaques issues de l'ingénierie tissulaire (par exemple, valves conçues pour se régénérer in vivo), ni aux prothèses valvulaires conçues pour une implantation dans des dispositifs d'assistance circulatoire. Certaines dispositions de l'ISO 5840-1 peuvent s'appliquer à des valves réalisées à partir de tissus humains rendus non viables.
NOTE     Une justification des dispositions de l'ISO 5840-1 est donnée à l'Annexe A.

Introduction
There is, as yet, no heart valve substitute which can be regarded as ideal.
The ISO 5840 series has been prepared by a group well aware of the issues associated with heart valve
substitutes and their development. In several areas, the provisions of the ISO 5840 series deliberately
have not been specified to encourage development and innovation. It does specify the types of tests,
provides guidance for test methods and test apparatuses and requires documentation of test methods
and results. The areas with which the ISO 5840 series are concerned are those which ensure that
associated risks to the patient and other users of the device have been adequately mitigated, facilitate
quality assurance, aid the clinician in choosing a heart valve substitute, and ensure that the device
is presented in a convenient form. Emphasis has been placed on specifying types of in vitro testing,
preclinical in vivo and clinical evaluations, reporting of all in vitro, preclinical in vivo, and clinical
evaluations, and the labelling and packaging of the device. Such a process involving in vitro, preclinical
in vivo, and clinical evaluations is intended to clarify the required procedures prior to market release
and to enable prompt identification and management of any subsequent problems.
With regard to in vitro testing and reporting, apart from basic material testing for mechanical, physical,
chemical, and biocompatibility characteristics, the ISO 5840 series also covers important hydrodynamic
and durability characteristics of heart valve substitutes and systems required for their implantation.
The ISO 5840 series does not specify exact test methods for hydrodynamic and durability testing, but it
offers guidelines for the test apparatus.
The ISO 5840 series is intended to be revised, updated, and/or amended as knowledge and techniques
in heart valve substitute technology improve.
This document is used in conjunction with ISO 5840-2 and ISO 5840-3.

Introduction
There is, as yet, no heart valve substitute which can be regarded as ideal.
The ISO 5840–series has been prepared by a group well aware of the issues associated with heart
valve substitutes and their development. In several areas, the provisions of the ISO 5840–series
deliberately have not been specified to encourage development and innovation. It does specify
the types of tests, provides guidance for test methods and test apparatuses and requires
documentation of test methods and results. The areas with which the ISO 5840–series are
concerned are those which will ensure that associated risks to the patient and other users of the
device have been adequately mitigated, facilitate quality assurance, aid the clinician in choosing
a heart valve substitute, and ensure that the device will be presented in convenient form.
Emphasis has been placed on specifying types of in vitro testing, preclinical in vivo and clinical
evaluations, reporting of all in vitro, preclinical in vivo, and clinical evaluations, and the labelling
and packaging of the device. Such a process involving in vitro, preclinical in vivo, and clinical
evaluations is intended to clarify the required procedures prior to market release and to enable
prompt identification and management of any subsequent problems.
With regard to in vitro testing and reporting, apart from basic material testing for mechanical,
physical, chemical, and biocompatibility characteristics, the ISO 5840–series also covers
important hydrodynamic and durability characteristics of heart valve substitutes and systems
required for their implantation. The ISO 5840–series does not specify exact test methods for
hydrodynamic and durability testing, but it offers guidelines for the test apparatus.
The ISO 5840–series is intended to be revised, updated, and/or amended as knowledge and
techniques in heart valve substitute technology improve.
This part of ISO 5840 is to be used in conjunction with ISO 5840 parts 2 and 3.

Cardiovascular implants—Cardiac valve prostheses—
Part 1: General requirements
1 Scope
This part of ISO 5840 is applicable to heart valve substitutes intended for implantation and
provides general requirements. Subsequent parts of the ISO 5840 series provide specific
requirements.
ISO 5840 is applicable to: newly developed and modified heart valve substitutes; the
accessory devices, packaging, and labelling required for their implantation; and for
determining the appropriate size of the heart valve substitute to be implanted.
ISO 5840 outlines an approach for verifying/validating the design and manufacture of a
heart valve substitute through risk management. The selection of appropriate qualification
tests and methods are derived from the risk assessment. The tests may 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.
ISO 5840 defines operational conditions for heart valve substitutes.
ISO 5840 does not provide requirements specific to homografts, tissue engineered heart
valves (e.g. valves intended to regenerate in vivo), and heart valve substitutes designed for
implantation in circulatory support devices.
NOTE: A rationale for the provisions of ISO 5840 is given in Annex A.

simulated cardiac output = forward flow volume X beat rate (tolerance +/- 0.1 L)

3.62
Start of diastole
SD
beginning of forward flow (zero crossing of flow to positive), for mitral and tricuspid
positions.

3.63
Start of leakage
SL
end of closure

3.64
Start of positive differential pressure
SPDP
first crossing of aortic and left ventricular waveforms for aortic position; first crossing of
pulmonary and right ventricular waveforms for pulmonary position; first crossing of
atrial and ventricular waveforms for mitral and tricuspid position.

3.65
Start of systole
SS

sterility assurance level
SAL
probability of a single viable microorganism occurring on an item after sterilization (3.68)
−6 −3
Note 1 to entry: The term SAL takes a quantitative value, generally 10 or 10 . When applying this
−6
quantitative value to assurance of sterility, an SAL of 10 has a lower value, but provides a greater
−3
assurance of sterility than an SAL of 10 .

3.68
sterilization
validated process used to render a product free from viable microorganisms
Note 1 to entry: In a sterilization process, the rate of microbial inactivation is exponential and thus,
the survival of a microorganism on an individual item can be expressed in terms of probability. While
this probability can be reduced to a very low number, it can never be reduced to zero.
Note 2 to entry: See 3.67.
