The work of pr
22、eparing 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, i
23、n liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization. International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. The main tas
24、k of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote. Attentio
25、n is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. ISO 15883-4 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 198, Sterilization of health care products. ISO 15883
26、consists of the following parts, under the general title Washer-disinfectors: Part 1: General requirements, terms and definitions and tests Part 2: Requirements and tests for washer-disinfectors employing thermal disinfection for surgical instruments, anaesthetic equipment, bowls, dishes, receivers,

29、O 15883-1. The washer-disinfectors specified in this part of ISO 15883 are intended to process devices which can be immersed in water or aqueous solutions. For some devices this will require that, prior to processing, relevant parts of the device are protected from immersion in accordance with the d
30、evice manufacturers operating instructions. Fields of application within the scope of the ISO 15883 series include laboratory, veterinary, dental and pharmaceutical applications and other specific applications, such as washer-disinfectors for bedsteads and transport carts and the disinfection of cro
31、ckery and cutlery intended for use with immunologically compromised patients. Requirements for washer-disinfectors for other applications are specified in other parts of ISO 15883. Safety requirements for washer-disinfectors are given in IEC 61010-2-040. With respect to the potential adverse effects
32、 on the quality of water intended for human consumption caused by the washer-disinfectors: a) note that, until verifiable European criteria are adopted, existing national regulations concerning the use and/or the characteristics of the washer-disinfectors remain in force; b) this part of ISO 15883 p
33、rovides no information as to whether the washer-disinfectors may be used without restriction in any of the member states of the EU or EFTA.

34、08(E) ISO 2008 All rights reserved 1Washer-disinfectors Part 4: Requirements and tests for washer-disinfectors employing chemical disinfection for thermolabile endoscopes 1 Scope This part of ISO 15883 specifies the particular requirements, including performance, for washer-disinfectors (WDs) that a
35、re intended to be used for cleaning and chemical disinfection of thermolabile endoscopes. This part of ISO 15883 also specifies the performance requirements for the cleaning and disinfection of the washer-disinfector and its components and accessories which may be required to achieve the necessary p
36、erformance. The methods, instrumentation and instructions required for type testing, works testing, validation (installation, operational and performance qualification on first installation), routine control and monitoring and re-validation, periodically and after essential repairs, are also specifi
37、ed. NOTE 1 In addition, Annex A gives guidance on an appropriate division of responsibility for the range of activities covered by this part of ISO 15883. NOTE 2 WDs complying with this part of ISO 15883 can also be used for cleaning and chemical disinfection of other thermolabile re-usable medical
38、devices for which the device manufacturer has recommended this method of disinfection. WDs complying with the requirements of this part of ISO 15883 are not intended for cleaning and disinfection of medical devices, including endoscopic accessories, which are heat stable and can be disinfected or st
39、erilized by thermal methods (see ISO 15883-1:2006, 4.1.5). The specified performance requirements of this part of ISO 15883 may not ensure the inactivation or removal of the causative agent(s) (prion protein) of transmissible spongiform encephalopathies. NOTE 3 If it is considered that prion protein
40、 might be present, particular care is needed in the choice of disinfectants and cleaning agents to ensure that the chemicals used do not react with the prion protein in a manner that may inhibit its removal or inactivation from the load or washer-disinfector. This part of ISO 15883 can be used by pr
41、ospective purchasers and manufacturers as the basis of agreement on the specification of WD manufacturers of endoscopes, cleaning products, disinfecting products, and also by users.
