Overview
ISO 15675:2016/Amd 1:2020 is an important amendment to the international standard concerning cardiovascular implants and artificial organs, specifically focusing on cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) systems. This amendment addresses arterial blood line filters, concentrating on the specification and testing of connectors used in these medical devices. As a crucial update to ISO 15675:2016, it strengthens safety, compatibility, and performance criteria for connectors in extracorporeal circulation systems.
Developed by ISO Technical Committee ISO/TC 150, Subcommittee SC 2, this standard provides detailed definitions, specifications, and performance requirements for connectors that ensure secure connections and reliable function in critical cardiovascular procedures.
Key Topics
- Connectors for arterial blood line filters: The amendment updates section 4.2.3, requiring connectors used in blood pathways to ensure secure, leak-proof connections during extracorporeal circulation.
- Connector compatibility: Connectors must fit tubes with inner diameters of 4.8 mm, 6.3 mm, 9.5 mm, or 12.7 mm. Compatibility with existing standards such as ISO 8637-1:2017 and ISO 80369-7 is emphasized.
- Performance testing: Connectors are subjected to rigorous testing following ISO 80369-7:2016, including mechanical stability, sealing, and resistance to disconnection under operational conditions.
- Detailed connector specifications: Annex A provides illustrative examples and exact dimensions for various connectors, including Luer slip fittings and Luer lock fittings, essential for manufacturers and designers.
- Reference steel fittings: The amendment includes precise dimensions and designs for reference steel fittings used in gauging and performance validation of connectors, ensuring standardization across devices.
- Gauging and measurement methods: Procedures for verifying dimensional accuracy and fit using steel gauges are specified, highlighting testing conditions like temperature and humidity.
Applications
- Cardiopulmonary bypass systems: This standard applies directly to arterial blood line filters in CPB setups, critical during open-heart surgery to remove microemboli and prevent blood clots.
- Medical device manufacturing: Manufacturers of extracorporeal circuit components use this standard to design connectors that maintain patient safety and ensure device interoperability.
- Quality assurance and regulatory compliance: Hospitals and healthcare providers rely on ISO-compliant products to meet safety standards, reduce risk of device-related complications, and improve surgical outcomes.
- Research and development: Biomedical engineers and device developers utilize the guidance for connector design innovation, focusing on compatibility and secure connections in artificial organs and cardiovascular implants.
Related Standards
- ISO 80369-7:2016 - Small-bore connectors for liquids and gases in healthcare applications; Part 7 covers connectors for intravascular or hypodermic applications, setting testing criteria for safe and precise connections.
- ISO 8637-1:2017 - Extracorporeal systems for blood purification, including haemodialysers and haemofilters; referenced for compatibility with arterial blood line filter connectors.
- ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1 & Part 2 - Guidelines followed during the drafting and maintenance of ISO standards ensuring strict editorial and procedural consistency.

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.
