Molecular in vitro diagnostic examinations - Specifications for pre-examination processes for circulating tumour cells (CTCs) in venous whole blood - Part 1: Isolated RNA (ISO/TS 7552-1:2024)
This document gives guidelines on the handling, storage, processing and documentation of human venous whole blood specimens intended for the examination of RNA isolated from circulating tumour cells (CTCs) during the pre-examination phase before a molecular examination is performed.
This document is applicable to molecular in vitro diagnostic examinations performed and/or developed by medical laboratories, in vitro diagnostics developers and manufacturers, institutions and commercial organizations performing biomedical research.
It is also intended to be used by laboratory customers including health institutions requesting examinations for their patients as well as biobanks and regulatory authorities.
This document does not cover the isolation of cellular RNA directly from venous whole blood containing CTCs. This is covered in ISO 20186-1, Molecular in vitro diagnostic examinations - Specifications for pre-examination processes for venous whole blood – Part 1: Isolated cellular RNA.
This document does not cover the isolation of specific white blood cells and subsequent isolation of cellular RNA therefrom.
This document does not cover pre-analytical workflow requirements for viable CTC cryopreservation and culturing.
NOTE 1 The requirements given in this document can also be applied to other circulating rare cells (e.g. fetal cells).
NOTE 2 International, national or regional regulations or requirements can also apply to specific topics covered in this document.
Spezifikationen für präanalytische Prozesse für zirkulierende Tumorzellen (CTC) in venösen Vollblutproben - Teil 1: Isolierte RNA (ISO/TS 7552-1:2024)
Dieses Dokument legt Anforderungen fest und gibt Empfehlungen zur Handhabung, Lagerung, CTC Anreicherung und Isolierung, RNA Isolierung und Lagerung sowie Dokumentation von venösem Vollblut-Untersuchungsmaterial, das für die Untersuchung der aus zirkulierenden Tumorzellen (CTC) isolierten RNA vorgesehen ist, während der präanalytischen Phase vor der Durchführung einer molekularen Analyse.
Dieses Dokument ist anwendbar auf molekulare in vitro-diagnostische Untersuchungen, die in medizinischen Laboratorien durchgeführt werden, einschließlich vom Laboratorium selbst entwickelter Verfahren. Es ist darüber hinaus für die Verwendung durch Kunden von Laboratorien, Entwickler und Hersteller von In vitro-Diagnostika, durch Biobanken, Institutionen und kommerzielle Organisationen, die biomedizinische Forschung betreiben, sowie durch Arzneimittelagenturen bestimmt.
Dieses Dokument behandelt nicht die direkte Isolierung von zellulärer RNA aus venösen Vollblutproben, die CTC enthalten. Diese wird in ISO 20186 1 behandelt.
Dieses Dokument behandelt nicht die Isolierung von bestimmten weißen Blutzellen (Leukozyten) und die anschließende Isolierung von zellulärer RNA aus diesen Zellen. Dieses Dokument behandelt auch nicht die Anforderungen an den präanalytischen Arbeitsablauf zur Kryokonservierung und Kultivierung lebensfähiger CTC.
ANMERKUNG 1 Die in diesem Dokument dargelegten Anforderungen können auch auf andere zirkulierende Zellen (z. B. fetale Zellen) angewendet werden.
ANMERKUNG 2 Internationale, nationale oder regionale Regelungen bzw. Anforderungen können ebenfalls für bestimmte Themen in diesem Dokument gelten.

This Technical Specification (CEN/TS) was approved by CEN on 8 November 2024 for provisional application.
The period of validity of this CEN/TS is limited initially to three years. After two years the members of CEN will be requested to
submit their comments, particularly on the question whether the CEN/TS can be converted into a European Standard.
CEN members are required to announce the existence of this CEN/TS in the same way as for an EN and to make the CEN/TS
available promptly at national level in an appropriate form. It is permissible to keep conflicting national standards in force (in
parallel to the CEN/TS) until the final decision about the possible conversion of the CEN/TS into an EN is reached.
