Printed in the United States of America ISBN 1-57020-559-0 AAMI Technical Information Report A technical information report (TIR) is a publication of the Association for the Advance

9、ment of Medical Instrumentation (AAMI) Standards Board that addresses a particular aspect of medical technology. Although the material presented in a TIR may need further evaluation by experts, releasing the information is valuable because the industry and the professions have an immediate need for

10、it. A TIR differs markedly from a standard or recommended practice, and readers should understand the differences between these documents. Standards and recommended practices are subject to a formal process of committee approval, public review, and resolution of all comments. This process of consens

11、us is supervised by the AAMI Standards Board and, in the case of American National Standards, by the American National Standards Institute. A TIR is not subject to the same formal approval process as a standard. However, a TIR is approved for distribution by a technical committee and the AAMI Standa

12、rds Board. Another difference is that, although both standards and TIRs are periodically reviewed, a standard must be acted onreaffirmed, revised, or withdrawnand the action formally approved usually every five years but at least every 10 years. For a TIR, AAMI consults with a technical committee ab

13、out five years after the publication date (and periodically thereafter) for guidance on whether the document is still usefulthat is, to check that the information is relevant or of historical value. If the information is not useful, the TIR is removed from circulation. A TIR may be developed because

14、 it is more responsive to underlying safety or performance issues than a standard or recommended practice, or because achieving consensus is extremely difficult or unlikely. Unlike a standard, a TIR permits the inclusion of differing viewpoints on technical issues. CAUTION NOTICE: This AAMI TIR may

15、be revised or withdrawn at any time. Because it addresses a rapidly evolving field or technology, readers are cautioned to ensure that they have also considered information that may be more recent than this document. All standards, recommended practices, technical information reports, and other type

16、s of technical documents developed by AAMI are voluntary, and their application is solely within the discretion and professional judgment of the user of the document. Occasionally, voluntary technical documents are adopted by government regulatory agencies or procurement authorities, in which case t

17、he adopting agency is responsible for enforcement of its rules and regulations.

32、 revision of existing AAMI TIR22:2007 was initiated by the AAMI Packaging Working Group, which serves as the U.S. TAG (technical advisory group) for ISO/TC 198/WG 7. U.S. representatives played an active role in developing the ISO TR. Committee approval of the standard does not necessarily imply tha

33、t all committee members voted for its approval. At the time this document was published, the AAMI Packaging Working Group had the following members: Chairs: David W.

Bushman, Standard Textile Co Inc Brian Buxton, Bausch b) they should be non-toxic, for guidance see A.3.3 (see requirement in ISO 11607-1:2006, 5.1.6); NOTE 1 If the sterile barrier system or associated comp

35、onents contain natural rubber latex, the sterile barrier system should be labelled indicating natural rubber latex is present. 2 2014 Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation ANSI/AAMI/ISO TIR16775:2014 c) there should be documented evidence that the ingress of microorganisms can b

37、 (such as weight or grade, seal width and seal strength), resist tearing or puncture, be capable of opening or peeling in a continuous and homogenous manner, without delamination tearing (see requirements in ISO 11607-1:2006, 5.1.7 and 5.1.9); e) they should be compatible with the intended steriliza

39、zation process (see requirement in ISO 11607-1:2006, 5.4); g) they should be protected from the effects of environmental conditions (e.g. relative humidity, direct sunlight or fluorescent light, temperature) during storage (see requirement in ISO 11607-1:2006, 5.5 and Clause 7); NOTE 2 Suggested sto

40、rage conditions and shelf life should be provided by the material or preformed sterile barrier system manufacturer. If anticipated or actual storage is outside these conditions the manufacturer should be consulted. h) they should allow aseptic presentation. NOTE 3 Instructions for aseptic presentati

41、on should be provided by the manufacturer of the medical device and/or packaging system. NOTE 4 The internet is a useful tool for finding information on materials, see Annex N. 3.2.2 Design and development guidance for packaging systems (ISO 11607-1:2006, 6.1 and 6.2) 3.2.2.1 Selection criteria When

42、 a health care facility determines which packaging system to use, the design and development guidance for those packaging systems should be considered (see requirements in ISO 11607-1:2006, 6.1 and 6.2). When a health care facility uses a contract packager or sterilizer additional considerations are

43、 necessary (see Annex P). The materials and systems chosen should: a) be intended for use in medical packaging applications, as stated by the manufacturer; b) be supported by technical information from the manufacturer confirming that it meets the requirements of ISO 11607-1 that relate to materials

44、; c) provide adequate protection for the medical device(s) during specified intended storage and transportation conditions to the point of use; d) allow for and be compatible with the intended sterilization process, and have the ability to withstand conditions of the chosen process; NOTE Not all mat

45、erials are appropriate for all sterilization processes. Information on compatibility with a given sterilization process is typically provided by the manufacturer of the medical device and/or packaging system. For further explanation of challenges of common sterilization processes see Annex B. e) mai

46、ntain sterile barrier integrity until its time of use; f) ensure aseptic presentation at the point of use; g) allow a method of closure that is tamper evident; h) allow for ease of identification of contents. The user of the packaging materials should ensure that the sterile barrier system or packag

47、ing system complies with ISO 11607-1, that requirements concerning product compatibility are met and that processes for packaging, sterilization, storage and distribution are validated and controlled. 2014 Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation ANSI/AAMI/ISO 16775:2014 3 3.2.2.2

48、Selection considerations The selection process at the health care facility should include an evaluation of the ability of both the sterile barrier system and protective packaging (if required) utilized to maintain the integrity of that sterile barrier system until its time of use and permit aseptic

49、presentation at the point of use. The choice of packaging components will be dependent on the risk associated with the medical device, its conditions of use, the storage and transport requirements and health care procedures practiced at the facility. These risks should be analyzed by the health care facility and procedures put in place to mitigate/control those risks (see Annex K). To choose the most appropriate material for the sterile barrier system and/or packaging system, the following should be considered: a) Duration and cond
