NOTE Typical plastics container systems are described in ISO 3826-3.
5.2.2 When used in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions, the plastics container shall be
capable of being filled with blood without air being introduced.
5.3 Emptying under pressure
The plastics container, when filled with a volume of water at a temperature of (23 ± 5) °C equal to its
nominal capacity and connected to a transfusion set as specified in ISO 1135-4 or ISO 1135-5 inserted
in an outlet port (see 5.8), shall empty without visual leakage (see 6.2.7) within 2 min when gradually
squeezed between two plates to a gauge pressure of 50 kPa.
5.4 Pilot samples
The plastics container shall be designed so that pilot samples of unmistakable identity can be collected
for the performance of blood tests in the blood centre without the closed system of the plastics
container being penetrated. This may be accomplished, e.g. by using an unmistakable numbering
system on the tubing.
The tubing shall be designed so that stripping of the tubing up to 5 times with a tube stripper is possible
and if applicable will not remove the existing numbering system when following the plastics containers
instruction for use concerning tube stripping.

5.6 Collection and transfer tube(s)
5.6.1 The plastics container may be provided with one or more collection or transfer tube(s) to allow
the collection and separation of blood and blood components.
If a transfer tube is present, and if necessary to avoid unexpected flow between containers, it shall be
fitted with a device which first acts as a seal and then, when opened, permits the free flow of blood
components.
5.6.2 The tubes shall be such that they can be sealed hermetically and do not collapse under normal use.
5.6.3 The plastics container, filled with water to its nominal capacity and sealed, and the tubes
connected to the plastics container shall form a hermetic tight leakproof connection (see 6.2.7) which
will withstand, without leakage occurring, a tensile force of 20 N applied to the tubing for 15 s. The
tensile force shall be applied at right angles to the edge of the joint and along the longitudinal axis of the
plane of the plastics container at a temperature of (23 ± 2) °C.
There shall be no leakage at the connection and the plastics container shall also conform to the
requirements specified in 6.2.7.
5.6.4 Under visual inspection, the tubing shall not display cracks, blisters, kinks, or other defects.
5.6.5 Requirements for sterile connection of transfer tubing. Tubing design shall allow the efficient
transfer of blood and blood components between packs. Design should also allow the joining of tubes
supplied by a single manufacturer or from different manufacturers using a sterile tube welding device.
Typically, this is to enable the connection of separate satellite packs when preparing blood components
by a ‘secondary process’. Sterile tube welding devices join the two opposing ends of the tube while
maintaining a sterile fluid pathway.
Manufacturers of sterile tube welding devices typically specify acceptable tube dimensions (external

in an outlet port (see 5.8), shall empty without visual leakage (see Note in 6.2.7) within 2 min when
gradually squeezed between two plates to a gauge pressure of 50 kPa.
5.4 Pilot samples
The plastics container shall be designed so that pilot samples of unmistakable identity can be collected
for the performance of compatibility tests without the closed system of the plastics container being
penetrated. This may be accomplished, e.g. by using an unmistakable numbering system on the tubing.
The tubing shall be designed so that stripping of the tubing up to 5 times with a tube stripper is possible
and if applicable will not remove the existing numbering system when following the plastics containers
instruction for use concerning tube stripping.
5.5 Rate of collection
The plastics container shall be designed so that it is capable of being filled to its nominal capacity in less
than 8 min when tested in accordance with B.2.

5.6 Collection and transfer tube(s)
5.6.1 The plastics container may be provided with one or more collection or transfer tube(s) to allow
the collection and separation of blood and blood components.
If a transfer tube is present, and if necessary to avoid unexpected flow between containers, it shall be
fitted with a device which first acts as a seal and then, when opened, permits the free flow of blood
components.
5.6.2 The tubes shall be such that they can be sealed hermetically and do not collapse under normal use.
5.6.3 The plastics container, filled with water to its nominal capacity and sealed, and the tubes
connected to the plastics container shall form a hermetic tight leakproof connection (see Note in 6.2.7)
which will withstand, without leakage occurring, a tensile force of 20 N applied to the tubing for 15 s. The
tensile force shall be applied at right angles to the edge of the joint and along the longitudinal axis of the
plane of the plastics container at a temperature of (23 ± 2) °C.
There shall be no leakage at the connection and the plastics container shall also conform to the
requirements specified in 6.2.7.
Manufacturers may use an alternative validated dynamic pull test which has been demonstrated to be
at least as stringent as the static pull test described above.
5.6.4 Under visual inspection, the tubing shall not display cracks, blisters, kinks, or other defects.
5.6.5 Requirements for sterile connection of transfer tubing: Tubing design shall allow the efficient
transfer of blood and blood components between packs. Design should also allow the joining of tubes
supplied by a single manufacturer or from different manufacturers using a sterile tube welding device.
Typically, this is to enable the connection of separate satellite packs when preparing blood components
by a ‘secondary process’. Sterile tube welding devices join the two opposing ends of the tube while
maintaining a sterile fluid pathway.
Manufacturers of sterile tube welding devices typically specify acceptable tube dimensions (external
and/or internal diameter and wall thickness) for use on their equipment. Blood bag manufacturers
must specify in their product documentation the material, internal and external diameters, and wall
thickness of all their tubing to allow blood transfusion services to assess the suitability for tube welding.

When a blood transfusion service wishes to weld tubing of different specifications, they should carry
out a validation before proceeding. A protocol is provided (see B.5) as a minimum requirement for such
validations (see also Reference [5]).
5.7 Blood-taking needle
The blood-taking needle shall be integral with the collection tube and covered by a protective cap. The
protective cap shall prevent leakage of anticoagulant and/or preservative solution from the plastics
container during storage, shall maintain the sterility of the fluid path, and shall be readily removable.
The protective cap shall be tamper-evident and manufactured so that either it is impossible to replace
or any attempt at manipulating it is blatantly obvious.
The internal and external surfaces of the blood-taking needle shall be clean and smooth. The bevel of
the needle shall be sharp and free from ridges, burrs, and barbs.
The joint between the blood-taking needle and the needle hub shall withstand a static tensile (pull)
force and compressive (push) force of 20 N for 15 s along the longitudinal axis.
The joint between the needle hub and the connected tubing shall withstand a static tensile (pull) force
of 20 N for 15 s along the longitudinal axis.
Manufacturers may use an alternative validated dynamic pull test which has been demonstrated to be
at least as stringent as the static pull test described above.
The blood-taking needle may contain a needle-stick protection device in accordance with ISO 3826-3.
5.8 Outlet port(s)
5.8.1 The plastics container shall be provided with one or more outlet ports for the administration of
blood and blood components through a transfusion set. The port(s), which shall have a puncturable non-
resealable closure port septum placed (14 +1/-2) mm from the top of the port, shall allow connection
of a transfusion set having a closure-piercing device in accordance with ISO 1135-4 and 1135-5 without
leakage (see Note in 6.2.7) on insertion or during conditions of use, including emptying under pressure
(see 5.3). Before the closure is pierced by the point of the closure-piercing device, the outlet port(s)
shall be tightly occluded by the closure-piercing device. When used in accordance with manufacturer's
instructions, the piercing device shall not damage the plastic film of the plastics container on insertion.
NOTE 1 For the dimensions of the closure-piercing device see ISO 1135-4 and ISO 1135-5.
