The work of preparing International Standards is normally

10、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 wo

11、rk. 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 task of technical committees is to prepare Inte

12、rnational 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. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of t

13、he 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 11140-5 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 198, Sterilization of health care products. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edi

14、tion (ISO 11140-5:2000), which has been technically revised. ISO 11140 consists of the following parts, under the general title Sterilization of health care products Chemical indicators: Part 1: General requirements Part 3: Class 2 indicator systems for use in the Bowie and Dick-type steam penetrati

15、on test Part 4: Class 2 indicators as an alternative to the Bowie and Dick-type test for detection of steam penetration Part 5: Class 2 indicators for Bowie and Dick-type air removal tests BS ISO 11140-5:2007vIntroduction The air removal test is used to evaluate the efficacy of air removal during th

16、e pre-vacuum phase of a pre-vacuum sterilization cycle or during the pulsing stage of positive pulsing cycles if non-condensable gases were present in the steam. Retention of air due to an inefficient air removal stage or the presence of an air leak or non-condensable gases during the air removal st

17、age are circumstances which can lead to failure of the test. This part of ISO 11140 describes the requirements for Class 2 indicators for Bowie and Dick-type air removal test sheets and packs. For a description of the classes of chemical indicators, see ISO 11140-1. The difference between the steam

18、penetration test (ISO 11140-3 and ISO 11140-4) and the air removal test (ISO 11140-5) is described in the chemical indicator guidance document (ISO 15882).

The pattern of indicator agent distribution should allow easy judgement of the uniformity of the colour change. 5.1.2 The substrate of the indicator sy

27、stem shall have a uniform ground colour which provides a difference in colour density of not less than 0,3 between ground colour and either the changed or the unchanged indicator agent, as specified by the manufacturer, when the difference in colour density is determined using a reflective densitome

28、ter. Compliance shall be tested in accordance with Annex A. 5.1.3 The indicator system dimensions shall be (200 20) mm (275 25) mm. 5.1.4 The indicator system shall have an air porosity not less than 1,7 m/(Pas) when tested in accordance with ISO 5636-3 at an air pressure of 1,47 kPa. 5.2 Performanc

Compliance shall be tes

35、ted in accordance with Annex D. NOTE Although some transfer can be possible without adversely affecting the performance of the indicator system or test pack, there are currently no test methods available to verify the acceptable limits of indicator agent transfer. 5.2.5 The indicator system shall co

36、mply with the requirements of this part of ISO 11140 for the duration of the shelf life specified by the manufacturer. A documented accelerated ageing procedure may be used in demonstrating compliance. 6 Indicator 6.1 Format 6.1.1 The indicator agent shall be uniformly distributed on its substrate t
