ISO/TC 150/WG 7 - Fundamental standards

This document specifies the general requirements for instruments to be used in association with non-active surgical implants. These requirements apply to instruments when they are manufactured and when they are supplied after refurbishment. NOTE In this document, unless otherwise specified, the term "instrument" refers to an instrument for use in association with non-active surgical implants. This document also applies to instruments which can be connected to power-driven systems, but it does not apply to the power-driven systems themselves. With regard to safety, this document gives the requirements for intended performance, design attributes, materials, design evaluation, manufacture, sterilization, packaging, and information supplied by the instrument manufacturer, hereafter referred to as the manufacturer. This document is not applicable to instruments associated with dental implants, transendodontic and transradicular implants and ophthalmic implants.

ISO 19227:2018 specifies requirements for the cleanliness of orthopaedic implants, hereafter referred to as implants, and test methods for the cleaning process validation and controls, which are based on a risk management process. ISO 19227:2018 does not specify requirements for packaging or sterilization which are covered by other International Standards. ISO 19227:2018 applies to in-process cleaning and final cleaning. ISO 19227:2018 does not apply to liquid or gaseous implants. ISO 19227:2018 does not apply to cleaning processes performed by the user or under the responsibility of the user.

ISO/TR 14283:2017 provides fundamental principles for the design and manufacture of active or non-active implants in order that each implant can achieve its intended purpose. ISO/TR 14283:2017 is often the case that instruments and other equipment are used in association with implants. These devices might be useful or even essential for the safe implantation and/or use of the implants. This document applies to implants, however, it also applies to associated instruments and equipment to the extent that the design and manufacture of the implants is intended to ensure the safe combination and use of the implants with such devices. Requirements for the safe operation and use of associated instruments and equipment are contained in other standards.

ISO 16061:2015 specifies general requirements for instruments to be used in association with non-active surgical implants. These requirements apply to instruments when they are manufactured and when they are resupplied after refurbishment. This International Standard also applies to instruments which may be connected to power-driven systems, but does not apply to the power-driven systems themselves. With regard to safety, this International Standard gives requirements for intended performance, design attributes, materials, design evaluation, manufacture, sterilization, packaging, and information supplied by the manufacturer. This International Standard is not applicable to instruments associated with dental implants, transendodontic and transradicular implants, and ophthalmic implants.

ISO 14630:2012 specifies general requirements for non-active surgical implants. ISO 14630:2012 is not applicable to dental implants, dental restorative materials, transendodontic and transradicular implants, intra-ocular lenses and implants utilizing viable animal tissue. With regard to safety, ISO 14630:2012 specifies requirements for intended performance, design attributes, materials, design evaluation, manufacture, sterilization, packaging and information supplied by the manufacturer, and tests to demonstrate compliance with these requirements.

ISO 16061:2008 specifies general requirements for instruments to be used in association with non-active surgical implants. These requirements apply to instruments when they are manufactured and when they are resupplied after refurbishment. ISO 16061:2008 also applies to instruments which may be connected to power-driven systems, but does not apply to the power-driven systems themselves. With regard to safety, ISO 16061:2008 gives requirements for intended performance, design attributes, selection of materials, design evaluation, manufacture, sterilization, packaging and information to be supplied by the manufacturer.

ISO 14630:2008 specifies general requirements for non-active surgical implants. ISO 14630:2008 is not applicable to dental implants, dental restorative materials, transendodontic and transradicular implants, intra-ocular lenses and implants utilizing viable animal tissue. With regard to safety, ISO 14630:2008 gives requirements for intended performance, design attributes, materials, design evaluation, manufacture, sterilization, packaging and information supplied by the manufacturer, and tests to demonstrate compliance with these requirements. Additional tests are given or referred to in level 2 and level 3 standards.

ISO 14630:2005 specifies general requirements for non-active surgical implants, hereafter referred to as implants. It is not applicable to dental implants, dental restorative materials, transendodontic and transradicular implants and intra-ocular lenses. With regard to safety, ISO 14630:2005 gives requirements for intended performance, design attributes, materials, design evaluation, manufacture, sterilization, packaging and information supplied by the manufacturer, and tests required to demonstrate compliance with these requirements. Additional tests are given or referred to in Level 2 and Level 3 Standards.

ISO/TR 14283 provides fundamental principles for the design and manufacture of active or non-active implants in order to achieve the intended purpose.
