This document specifies requirements and test methods for specialized single-use evacuated and non-evacuated containers, intended by their manufacturers, for the primary containment and preservation of specimens, other than blood specimens, derived from the human body, for the purposes of in vitro diagnostic examination. It is not intended to cover specimen containers for forensic investigations. Examples of such specimens include, but are not limited to, cerebral spinal fluid (CSF), faeces, infected bodily fluids, saliva, ejaculate, sputum, urine, tissue samples. Specimens and types of devices specifically excluded are specialized containers for cryo-preservation, samples for nucleic acid testing and swabs. NOTE Requirements and test methods for evacuated and non-evacuated single-use human venous blood specimen collection containers are specified in ISO 6710. This document does not specify requirements for auxiliary devices used in conjunction with specimen containers.

This document specifies essential requirements and related test methods for non-electrically driven portable infusion devices, thereafter called "device". It is applicable to devices designed for continuous (fixed or adjustable) flow and/or for bolus neuraxial and intravascular or hypodermic applications. NOTE Sites for the neuraxial application include the spine, intrathecal or subarachnoid space, ventricles of the brain and the epi-, extra- or peri-dural space. Neuraxial application anaesthetics can be administered regionally, affecting a large part of the body, such as a limb, and include plexus blocks, such as the branchial plexus blocks or single nerve blocks. Neuraxial application procedures include continuous infusion of wounds with local anaesthetic agents. These devices can be used in health care and non-health care settings. They can be applied or administered by health care professionals or by the intended patient. These devices can be pre-filled by the manufacturer or filled before use by a health care professional or the intended patient. This document does not apply to — electrically driven or electrically controlled infusion pumps that are covered by IEC 60601-2-24, — devices for single patient use intended to deliver discrete volumes (bolus) of medicinal product that are covered by the ISO 11608 series, — implantable devices, — enteral devices, — transdermal delivery devices, and — devices where the energy for infusion is not provided by the device or through active intervention by the patient (e.g. devices only powered by gravity).

This document details suitable equipment, a test method, acceptance criteria and advisable limits to help to ensure that there is compatibility (by measuring the insertion force) between a transfusion set closure piercing device (referred to in this document by the abbreviation 'spike') and a blood bag outlet port. The test procedure in its entirety is complex and beyond the scope of each of the relevant transfusion set and blood bag standards. This document was therefore developed to support the implementation of the existing standards for blood bags and transfusion sets. The procedure described in this document can be used by manufacturers of blood bags to test the compatibility with transfusion set spikes available on the market or by manufacturers of the transfusion set spikes to test the compatibility with blood bags available on the market.

ISO 3826-2:2008 addresses symbols that may be used to convey certain items of information related to medical devices dedicated to blood collection processes and storage. The information may be required on the device itself, as part of the label, or provided with the device. Many countries require that their own language be used to display textual information with medical devices. This raises problems to device manufacturers and users. The symbols specified in ISO 3826-2:2008 do not replace current national regulatory requirements. Manufacturers seek to take costs out of labelling by reducing or rationalizing variants. This results in a major problem of translation, design and logistics when multiple languages are included on a single label or piece of documentation. As other medical devices, blood medical devices, labelled in a number of different languages, can experience confusion and delay in locating the appropriate language. ISO 3826-2:2008 proposes solutions to these problems through the use of internationally recognized symbols with precisely defined meanings. ISO 3826-2:2008 is primarily intended to be used by manufacturers of medical devices dedicated to the blood collection, process storage and distribution, who market identical products in countries having different language requirements for medical device labelling. ISO 3826-2:2008 may also be of assistance to different stages of the blood supply chain, e.g.: distributors of blood collection devices (manual or automated) or other representatives of manufacturers; blood centres and distribution centres to simplify and secure the operating procedures. The use of these symbols is primarily intended for the medical device rather than the therapeutic product.
