Cardiovascular implants - Endovascular devices - Part 2: Vascular stents (ISO 25539-2:2008)
This part of ISO 25539 specifies requirements for vascular stents, based upon current medical knowledge. With regard to safety, it gives requirements for intended performance, design attributes, materials, design evaluation, manufacturing, sterilization, packaging and information supplied by the manufacturer. It should be considered as a supplement to ISO 14630, which specifies general requirements for the performance of non-active surgical implants. The scope of this part of ISO 25539 includes vascular stents used to treat vascular lesions or stenoses, or other vascular abnormalities. These devices might or might not incorporate surface modifications of the stent such as drug and/or other coatings. Stents covered with materials that significantly modify the permeability of the uncovered stent are within the scope of ISO 25539-1. The stent design might dictate the need to address functional requirements identified in both ISO 25539-1 and this part of ISO 25539. Delivery systems are included in this part of ISO 25539 if they comprise an integral component of the deployment of the vascular stent. Procedures and devices used prior to the introduction of the vascular stent, such as balloon angioplasty devices, are excluded from the scope of this part of ISO 25539. Some pharmacological aspects of drug eluting stents are addressed in this part of ISO 25539, but this document is not comprehensive with respect to the pharmacological evaluation of drug eluting stents. Degradation and other time-dependent aspects of bioabsorbable and polymeric stents and coatings are not addressed by this part of ISO 25539. With the exception of sterilization, this part of ISO 25539 does not address requirements for the evaluation of animal tissue products.
Kardiovaskuläre Implantate - Endovaskuläre Implantate - Teil 2: Gefäßstents (ISO 25539-2:2008)
1.1 Dieser Teil der ISO 25539 legt auf der Grundlage des derzeitigen medizinischen Wissenstandes Anforderungen an Gefäßstents fest. In Hinblick auf die Sicherheit enthält sie Anforderungen an die beabsichtigte Funktion, Konstruktionsmerkmale, Werkstoffe/Materialien, die Bewertung der Konstruktion, die Herstellung, die sterile Verpackung sowie die Bereitstellung von Informationen durch den Hersteller. Sie sollte als Ergänzung zur ISO 14630 angesehen werden, die allgemeine Anforderungen an die Funktion nichtaktiver chirurgischer Implantate festlegt.
ANMERKUNG Aufgrund der Variationen in der Konstruktion der von diesem Teil der ISO 25339 abgedeckten Implantate sowie in einigen Fällen aufgrund der noch relativ neuen Entwicklung einiger dieser Implantate (z. B. bioabsorbierbare Stents, Polymerstents) stehen nicht immer annehmbare genormte In vitro Prüfungen und klinische Ergebnisse zur Verfügung. Mit dem Verfügbarwerden weiterer wissenschaftlicher und klinischer Daten wird eine entsprechende Überarbeitung dieses Dokumentes erforderlich.
1.2 Der Anwendungsbereich dieses Teils von ISO 25539 schließt Gefäßstents ein, die zur Behandlung vaskulärer Läsionen oder Stenosen oder sonstiger vaskulärer Anomalien eingesetzt werden. Bei diesen Implantaten können Oberflächenmodifikationen des Stents, wie z. B. Medikamenten und/oder weitere Beschichtungen vorliegen. Stents, die mit Materialien ummantelt sind, die die Durchlässigkeit eines nicht ummantelten Stents signifikant modifizieren, liegen im Anwendungsbereich der ISO 25539 1. Die Stentkonstruktion kann die Anwendung funktionaler Anforderungen sowohl der ISO 25539 1 als auch dieses Teils der ISO 25539 erforderlich machen.
1.3 Einführsysteme werden durch diesen Teil der ISO 25539 abgedeckt, sofern sie einen integralen Bestandteil bei der Entfaltung des Gefäßstents darstellen.

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 25539-2 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 150, Implants for surgery, Subcommittee SC 2,
Cardiovascular implants and extracorporeal systems.
ISO 25539 consists of the following parts, under the general title Cardiovascular implants — Endovascular
devices:
⎯ Part 1: Endovascular prostheses
⎯ Part 2: Vascular stents

Introduction
This part of ISO 25539 has been prepared in order to provide minimum requirements for endovascular
devices and the methods of test that will enable their evaluation. It is the second part of a proposed three-part
standard. ISO 25539-1 addresses endovascular prostheses and ISO 25539-3 will address vena cava filters.
ISO/TS 15539, from which this part of ISO 25539 is derived, serves as a rationale for the requirements of this
document. The Technical Specification ISO/TS 15539 was developed by first identifying the design
requirements for these devices and listing the potential device and clinical failure modes. Tests were then
identified to address each of the failure modes. The requirements provided in this part of ISO 25539 are based
on that assessment.

INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 25539-2:2008(E)
Cardiovascular implants — Endovascular devices —
Part 2:
Vascular stents
1 Scope
1.1 This part of ISO 25539 specifies requirements for vascular stents, based upon current medical
knowledge. With regard to safety, it gives requirements for intended performance, design attributes, materials,
design evaluation, manufacturing, sterilization, packaging and information supplied by the manufacturer. It
should be considered as a supplement to ISO 14630, which specifies general requirements for the
performance of non-active surgical implants.
NOTE Due to the variations in the design of implants covered by this part of ISO 25539 and in some cases due to the
relatively recent development of some of these implants (e.g. bioabsorbable stents, polymeric stents), acceptable
standardized in vitro tests and clinical results are not always available. As further scientific and clinical data become
available, appropriate revision of this document will be necessary.
1.2 The scope of this part of ISO 25539 includes vascular stents used to treat vascular lesions or stenoses,
or other vascular abnormalities. These devices might or might not incorporate surface modifications of the
stent such as drug and/or other coatings. Stents covered with materials that significantly modify the
permeability of the uncovered stent are within the scope of ISO 25539-1. The stent design might dictate the
need to address functional requirements identified in both ISO 25539-1 and this part of ISO 25539.
1.3 Delivery systems are included in this part of ISO 25539 if they comprise an integral component of the
deployment of the vascular stent.
1.4 Procedures and devices used prior to the introduction of the vascular stent, such as balloon angioplasty
devices, are excluded from the scope of this part of ISO 25539.
1.5 Some pharmacological aspects of drug eluting stents are addressed in this part of ISO 25539, but this
document is not comprehensive with respect to the pharmacological evaluation of drug eluting stents.
1.6 Degradation and other time-dependent aspects of bioabsorbable and polymeric stents and coatings are
not addressed by this part of ISO 25539.
1.7 With the exception of sterilization, this part of ISO 25539 does not address requirements for the
evaluation of animal tissue products.
