Packaging for terminally sterilized medical devices - Part 1: Requirements for materials, sterile barrier systems and packaging systems (ISO 11607-1:2019)
This document specifies requirements and test methods for materials, preformed sterile barrier systems, sterile barrier systems and packaging systems that are intended to maintain sterility of terminally sterilized medical devices until the point of use.
It is applicable to industry, to health care facilities, and to wherever medical devices are placed in sterile barrier systems and sterilized.
It does not cover all requirements for sterile barrier systems and packaging systems for medical devices that are manufactured aseptically. Additional requirements can be necessary for drug/device combinations.
It does not describe a quality assurance system for control of all stages of manufacture.
It does not apply to packaging materials and/or systems used to contain a contaminated medical device during transportation of the item to the site of reprocessing or disposal.

Dieses Dokument legt Anforderungen an und Prüfverfahren für Materialien, vorgefertigte Sterilbarrieresysteme, Sterilbarrieresysteme und Verpackungssysteme fest, die dazu vorgesehen sind, die Sterilität von in der Endverpackung sterilisierten Medizinprodukten bis zum Anwendungszeitpunkt zu erhalten.
Es gilt für die Industrie, für Einrichtungen des Gesundheitswesens und für alle anderen Einrichtungen, in denen Medizinprodukte in Sterilbarrieresysteme verpackt und sterilisiert werden.
Es erfasst nicht alle Anforderungen an Sterilbarrieresysteme und Verpackungssysteme für aseptisch hergestellte Medizinprodukte. Für Kombinationen von Medikamenten und Medizinprodukten können zusätzliche Anforderungen erforderlich sein.
Es beschreibt kein Qualitätssicherungssystem zur Lenkung aller Herstellungsschritte.
Es gilt nicht für Verpackungsmaterialien und/oder systeme, die dazu verwendet werden, ein verunreinigtes Medizinprodukt während des Transports zur Wiederaufbereitung oder Entsorgung aufzunehmen.

Le présent document spécifie les exigences et les méthodes d'essai pour les matériaux, les systèmes de barrière stérile préformés, les systèmes de barrière stérile et les systèmes d'emballage destinés à maintenir l'état de stérilité des dispositifs médicaux stérilisés de façon terminale jusqu'au point d'utilisation.
Il s'applique à l'industrie, aux établissements de santé et à tout lieu où des dispositifs médicaux sont insérés dans des systèmes de barrière stérile et stérilisés.
Il ne couvre pas toutes les exigences relatives aux systèmes de barrière stérile et systèmes d'emballage pour les dispositifs médicaux fabriqués de manière aseptique. Dans ce cas, des exigences supplémentaires peuvent être nécessaires pour garantir les combinaisons médicaments/dispositifs.
Il ne décrit pas de système d'assurance qualité pour le contrôle de toutes les étapes de fabrication.
Il ne s'applique pas aux matériaux d'emballage et/ou systèmes utilisés pour contenir un dispositif médical contaminé pendant le transport du dispositif vers le site de retraitement ou d'élimination.
Embalaža za končno sterilizirane medicinske pripomočke - 1. del: Zahteve za materiale, sterilne pregradne sisteme in sisteme embalaže (ISO 11607-1:2019)
Ta dokument določa zahteve in preskusne metode za materiale, izvedene sterilne pregradne sisteme, sterilne pregradne sisteme in sisteme embalaže, ki so namenjeni za vzdrževanje sterilnosti končno steriliziranih medicinskih pripomočkov do njihove uporabe. Uporablja se za industrijo, zdravstvene ustanove in vse medicinske pripomočke, ki so sterilizirani v sterilnih pregradnih sistemih. Ne zajema vseh zahtev za sterilne pregradne sisteme in sisteme embalaže medicinskih pripomočkov, ki so izdelani aseptično. Za kombinacije zdravil/pripomočkov so morda potrebne dodatne zahteve. Ne opisuje sistema zagotavljanja kakovosti za nadzor vseh faz proizvodnje. Ne uporablja se za embalažo in/ali sisteme, ki se uporabljajo za hrambo kontaminiranega medicinskega pripomočka med prevozom elementa na mesto predelave ali odstranjevanja.
