Overview
EN ISO 7886-4:2019 (ISO 7886-4:2018) specifies requirements for sterile hypodermic syringes for single use that include a re‑use prevention feature. Endorsed by CEN, this European adoption of the ISO standard covers plastic and rubber syringes, with or without integrated needles, intended for aspiration or immediate injection after filling and designed to be rendered unusable after one use. The standard supports regulatory compliance in the EU (see informative Annex ZA) and supersedes the 2009 edition.
Key topics and technical requirements
This standard addresses the design, testing and information requirements necessary to demonstrate safe single use and effective re‑use prevention. Key technical topics include:
- Types of syringe and re‑use prevention features - classification of intended designs and mechanisms that prevent re‑use.
- Materials and cleanliness - limits for extraneous matter, acidity/alkalinity and extractable metals.
- Lubricant and assembly - requirements affecting plunger performance and user feel.
- Graduated scale and capacity tolerance - marking, scale position and dimensional tolerances on nominal capacity.
- Barrel, plunger and nozzle/needle interfaces - dimensional and fit requirements for safe operation.
- Performance tests - dead space measurement, freedom from air and liquid leakage, verification of the re‑use prevention feature, and performance after shipping.
- Packaging and labeling - unit and multiple unit pack requirements, transport wrapping and information supplied by the manufacturer.
- Normative test methods - Annex A (preparation of extracts) and Annex B (test method for re‑use prevention feature) provide standardized test procedures.

The exclusion of glass syringes and other specific types-such as auto-disable syringes for fixed dose immunization and pre-filled syringes-ensures that the standard is relevant and precise, catering specifically to the needs of the single-use syringe market. One of the significant strengths of this standard is its attention to detail regarding materials and design. By specifying the use of plastic and rubber, the EN ISO 7886-4:2019 standard ensures that manufacturers prioritize material safety and compatibility, potentially leading to better performance and reduced risk of contamination during medical procedures. Moreover, the standard recognizes the importance of re-use prevention features in syringes, which resonate with current healthcare goals of minimizing needle-stick injuries. While it does not specifically address anti-needle-stick properties, its acceptance of syringes designed to mitigate such risks for compliance reflects an awareness of broader safety considerations in syringe design. Overall, the EN ISO 7886-4:2019 standard is highly relevant in today’s healthcare environment, fostering a safer approach to medical syringe usage. Its well-defined scope, strong emphasis on preventing syringe re-use, and focus on material suitability make it a vital reference point for manufacturers and healthcare providers dedicated to ensuring safety and efficacy in medical practices involving hypodermic syringes.
Le document SIST EN ISO 7886-4:2019 établit des exigences claires et spécifiques pour les seringues hypodermiques stériles à usage unique, conçues pour minimiser les risques associés à l'utilisation répétée. Cette norme vise les seringues fabriquées à partir de matériaux plastiques et en caoutchouc, qu'elles soient dotées ou non d'aiguilles, et leur usage principal est soit l'aspiration de fluides, soit l'injection immédiate de fluides après leur remplissage. Un des points forts de cette norme est la caractéristique d'empêcher la réutilisation de la seringue après usage, ce qui contribue à la sécurité des utilisateurs et à la prévention des infections. L'exclusion des seringues en verre, des seringues auto-désactivables pour l'immunisation à dose fixe, ainsi que celles conçues pour être pré-remplies, permet de clarifier le champ d’application de la norme et d’éviter toute ambiguïté. Cela renforce également la pertinence de cette norme pour les applications spécifiques envisagées, tout en soulignant que d'autres normes peuvent être nécessaires pour des usages non spécifiquement mentionnés dans ce document. De plus, il est important de noter que bien que la norme puisse accueillir des seringues conçues pour réduire les risques de blessures par piqûres, les propriétés anti-piqûre ne font pas partie des exigences formelles abordées. Cela permet de garantir que le document se concentre sur les aspects essentiels de la sécurité d'utilisation en ce qui concerne la fonctionnalité de prévention de réutilisation. En somme, la SIST EN ISO 7886-4:2019 représente un cadre normatif essentiel pour garantir la sécurité et l’efficacité des seringues hypodermiques à usage unique, contribuant ainsi à la réduction des risques sanitaires associés à leur utilisation. Avec sa portée précise et ses exigences bien définies, cette norme joue un rôle crucial dans la protection des patients et des professionnels de santé.
표준 EN ISO 7886-4:2019는 단일 사용을 위한 멸균 피하 주사기에 대한 요구 사항을 명시하고 있으며, 고무 및 플라스틱 재료로 제작된 주사기를 다룹니다. 이 문서는 주사기가 사용 후에 재사용하지 못하도록 설계되어야 한다는 점이 특히 강조됩니다. 이 표준의 주요 범위는 주사기의 안전성과 효과를 보장하는 데 하여 매우 중요합니다. 이 표준의 강점 중 하나는 재사용 방지 기능을 갖춘 주사기의 설계 요구 사항을 명확하게 규정하고 있다는 점입니다. 이러한 특성은 의료 현장에서 감염 위험을 감소시킬 수 있는 중요한 요소로 작용합니다. 또한, 주사기가 플라스틱 및 고무 재질로 만들어져 있어, 다양한 환경에서 사용되기에 적합하다는 장점이 있습니다. 표준은 유리 주사기는 포함하지 않으며, 고정 용량 면역 접종을 위한 자동 비활성화 주사기나 미리 채워진 주사기에 대해서는 적용되지 않습니다. 이는 특정 용도에 맞춘 주사기의 안전성과 기능성을 더욱 잘 보장하는 데 기여합니다. 그리고 주사기가 사용되는 다양한 목적에 따라서 다른 표준이 적용될 수 있는 점이 명시되어 있어, 업계의 다양한 요구를 충분히 반영하고 있습니다. 마지막으로, 주사기로 인한 바늘 찔림 사고를 감소시키기 위한 설계가 EN ISO 7886-4:2019와 호환될 수 있지만, 표준 자체에서 바늘 찔림 방지 속성에 대한 구체적인 내용은 다루고 있지 않음을 알리는 주의사항이 있습니다. 이를 통해 사용자는 주사기의 총체적 안전성을 평가할 때 참고할 수 있는 중요한 정보를 얻을 수 있습니다. 결과적으로 EN ISO 7886-4:2019 표준은 단일 사용 멸균 피하 주사기의 설계 및 사용에서 중요한 역할을 하며, 의료 분야에서의 안전성을 보장하는 데 기여하고 있습니다.
Die Norm EN ISO 7886-4:2019 behandelt die Anforderungen an sterile Einmal-Spritzen aus Kunststoff und Gummi, die mit oder ohne Nadel für die Aspiration und Injektion von Flüssigkeiten vorgesehen sind. Die Norm legt besonderen Wert auf den Aspekt, dass die Spritze nach ihrer Benutzung unbrauchbar gemacht werden kann. Dies ist entscheidend für die Verhinderung von Wiederverwendung und somit zur Minimierung gesundheitlicher Risiken. Ein herausragendes Merkmal dieser Norm ist die Fokussierung auf die Sicherheit im Gesundheitswesen. Die Einmal-Spritzen sollen so gestaltet sein, dass sie nach der Anwendung unbrauchbar werden, was das Risiko von Nadelstichverletzungen erheblich verringert. Diese Sicherheitsvorkehrungen sind besonders relevant in medizinischen Einrichtungen, wo die Gefahr der Übertragung von Krankheiten durch unsachgemäße Handhabung von Spritzen besteht. Die Norm schränkt sich nicht auf bestimmte Anwendungsfälle ein, sondern definiert spezifische Anforderungen für Spritzen, die in einem breiten Spektrum von medizinischen Anwendungen eingesetzt werden können. Indem sie die Notwendigkeit von Spritzen erlässt, die nicht für die Einmalanwendung vorgesehen sind, gewährleistet sie, dass nur geeignete Produkte im Markt sind. Es ist wichtig zu beachten, dass EN ISO 7886-4:2019 nicht für Glas-Spritzen oder autodestruktive Spritzen für festgelegte Impfstoffdosen gilt, und auch nicht die Kompatibilität mit Injektionsflüssigkeiten behandelt. Dies verstärkt den Fokus auf die beabsichtigte Verwendung der Einmal-Spritzen und die spezifischen Merkmale, die sie für diese Anwendungen qualifizieren. Zusammenfassend lässt sich sagen, dass die Norm EN ISO 7886-4:2019 von großer Relevanz ist, da sie sowohl die Standards für die Herstellung und Verwendung von sterilen Hypodermikspritzen für den Einmalgebrauch festlegt als auch wichtige Sicherheitsaspekte berücksichtigt, die den Schutz von Patienten und medizinischem Personal gewährleisten.
