Washer-disinfectors - Part 2: Requirements and tests for washer-disinfectors employing thermal disinfection for critical and semi-critical medical devices (ISO 15883-2:2024)

ISO 15883-2:2006 specifies particular requirements for washer disinfectors (WD) that are intended for use for the cleaning and thermal disinfection, in a single operating cycle, of re-usable medical devices such as surgical instruments, anaesthetic equipment, bowls, dishes and receivers, utensils and glassware.
The requirements in ISO 15883-2:2006 apply in addition to the general requirements specified in ISO 15883-1.
The specified performance requirements of ISO 15883-2:2006 may not ensure the inactivation or removal of the causative agent(s) (prion protein) of transmissible spongiform encephalopathies.

Reinigungs-Desinfektionsgeräte - Teil 2: Anforderungen und Prüfverfahren von Reinigungs-Desinfektionsgeräten mit thermischer Desinfektion für kritische und semikritische Medizinprodukte (ISO 15883-2:2024)

Dieses Dokument legt besondere Anforderungen an Reinigungs-Desinfektionsgeräte (RDG) fest, die für die Reinigung und thermische Desinfektion wiederverwendbarer Medizinprodukte wie chirurgische Instrumente, Anästhesiegeräte, Schüsseln, Schalen, Auffanggefäße, Utensilien und Glaswaren in einem einzigen Prozessablauf bestimmt sind.
Die in diesem Dokument festgelegten Anforderungen gelten zusätzlich zu den in ISO/DIS 15883 1:2020 festgelegten allgemeinen Anforderungen.
Die in diesem Dokument festgelegten Leistungsanforderungen stellen die Inaktivierung oder die Beseitigung des (der) verursachenden Agens (Agenzien) (Prionenproteine) von transmissiblen spongiformen Enzephalopathien möglicherweise nicht sicher.

Laveurs désinfecteurs - Partie 2: Exigences et essais pour laveurs désinfecteurs destinés à la désinfection thermique des dispositifs médicaux critiques et semi-critiques (ISO 15883-2:2024)

L'ISO 15883-2:2006 spécifie les exigences particulières relatives aux laveurs désinfecteurs (LD) destinés à être utilisés pour le nettoyage et la désinfection thermique, au cours d'un seul cycle standard, des dispositifs médicaux réutilisables tels que les instruments chirurgicaux, le matériel d'anesthésie, les bacs, plats, récipients, ustensiles, de la verrerie, etc.
Les exigences de l'ISO 15883-2:2006 sont applicables conjointement avec les exigences générales spécifiées dans l'ISO 15883-1.
Les exigences de performances spécifiées dans l'ISO 15883-2:2006 peuvent ne pas assurer l'inactivation ou l'élimination de l'agent ou des agents infectieux (protéine du prion) des encéphalopathies spongiformes transmissibles.

Annex ZA
(informative)
Relationship between this European Standard and the General Safety and
Performance Requirements of Regulation (EU) 2017/745 aimed to be
covered
This European standard has been prepared under M/575 to provide one voluntary means of
conforming to the General Safety and Performance Requirements of Regulation (EU) 2017/745 of 5
April 2017 concerning medical devices [OJ L 117] and to system or process requirements including
those relating to quality management systems, risk management, post-market surveillance systems,
clinical investigations, clinical evaluation or post-market clinical follow-up.
Once this standard is cited in the Official Journal of the European Union under that Regulation,
compliance with the normative clauses of this standard given in Table ZA.1 and application of the
edition of the normatively referenced standards as given in Table ZA.2 confers, within the limits of the
scope of this standard, a presumption of conformity with the corresponding General Safety and
Performance Requirements of that Regulation, and associated EFTA regulations.
Where a definition in this standard differs from a definition of the same term set out in Regulation (EU)
2017/745, the differences shall be indicated in this Annex Z. For the purpose of using this standard in
support of the requirements set out in Regulation (EU) 2017/745, the definitions set out in this
Regulation prevail.
Where the European standard is an adoption of an International Standard, the scope of this standard
can differ from the scope of the European Regulation that it supports. As the scope of the applicable
regulatory requirements differ from nation to nation and region to region, the standard can only
support European regulatory requirements to the extent of the scope of the European regulation for
medical devices (EU) 2017/745).
NOTE 1 Where a reference from a clause of this standard to the risk management process is made, the risk
management process needs to be in compliance with Regulation (EU) 2017/745. This means that risks have to be
‘reduced as far as possible’, ‘reduced to the lowest possible level’, ‘reduced as far as possible and appropriate’,
‘removed or reduced as far as possible’, ‘eliminated or reduced as far as possible’, ’removed or minimized as far as
possible’, or ‘minimized’, according to the wording of the corresponding General Safety and Performance
Requirement.
NOTE 2 The manufacturer’s policy for determining acceptable risk must be in compliance with General Safety
and Performance Requirements 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 8, 9, 10, 11, 14, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21 and 22 of the Regulation.
NOTE 3 When a General Safety and Performance Requirement does not appear in Table ZA.1, it means that it is
not addressed by this European Standard.
Table ZA.1 — Correspondence between this European Standard and Annex I of
Regulation (EU) 2017/745 [OJ L 117] and to system or process requirements including those relating

investigations, clinical evaluation or post-market clinical follow-up
