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.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).
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. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or
on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www.iso.org/patents).
Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not
constitute an endorsement.
For an explanation of the voluntary nature of standards, the meaning of ISO specific terms and
expressions related to conformity assessment, as well as information about ISO's adherence to
the World Trade Organization (WTO) principles in the Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT), see
www.iso.org/iso/foreword.html.
This document was prepared by Technical Committee 84, Devices for administration of medicinal
products and catheters.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 23908:2011), which has been technically
revised.
The main changes are as follows:
— Scope has been enlarged to single-use needles, introducers for catheters and needles used for blood
testing, monitoring, sampling and medical substance administration.
— Reliance on current medical devices standards: ISO 14971, IEC 62366-1, ISO 11608-1, ISO 20417.
— Addition of a falling test, with as a pass/fail the non-access to the sharps, in order to cover a frequent
misuse situation and avoid a potential increase of the risk of sharp injury.
— Updates on the test procedure to challenge the minimum overriding force of the SIPM in safe
mode in order to cover the numerous design possibilities (threshold is no greater than 20 % of the
specification interval for any given measurement, 30% for destructive test).
— For A-SIPM, misuse situations (obvious or non-obvious) shall be included in the risk assessment and
be mitigated as far as possible by product design.
Any feedback or questions on this document should be directed to the user’s national standards body. A
complete listing of these bodies can be found at www.iso.org/members.html.
