21、g medical devices and 98/79/EEC concerning in vitro diagnostic medical devices.16 iv Foreword ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out thr

22、ough 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 work. ISO collabo

23、rates 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 International Stand

24、ards. 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 the elements of

25、this document may be the subject of patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. ISO 11137-3 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 198, Sterilization of health care product. This first edition, together with ISO 11137-1 and ISO 11137-2, cancels

26、 and replaces ISO 11137:1995. ISO 11137 consists of the following parts, under the general title Sterilization of health care products Radiation: Part 1: Requirements for development, validation and routine control of a sterilization process for medical devices Part 2: Establishing the sterilization

27、 dose Part 3: Guidance on dosimetric aspects EN ISO 11137-3:2006vIntroduction An integral part of radiation sterilization is the ability to measure dose. Dose is measured during all stages of development, validation and routine monitoring of the sterilization process. It has to be demonstrated that

28、dose measurement is traceable to a national or International Standard, that the uncertainty of measurement is known, and that the influence of temperature, humidity and other environmental considerations on dosimeter response is known and taken into account. Process parameters are established and ap

29、plied based on dose measurements. This part of ISO 11137 provides guidance on the application of dose measurements (dosimetry) during all stages of the sterilization process. ISO 11137-1 describes requirements that, if met, will provide a radiation sterilization process, intended to sterilize medica

30、l devices, which has appropriate microbicidal activity. Furthermore, compliance with the requirements helps ensure that this activity is both reliable and reproducible so that predictions can be made, with reasonable confidence, that there is a low level of probability of there being a viable microo

31、rganism present on product after sterilization. Generic requirements of the quality management system for design and development, production, installation and servicing are given in ISO 9001 and particular requirements for quality management systems for medical device production are given in ISO 134

32、85. The standards for quality management systems recognize that, for certain processes used in manufacturing or reprocessing, the effectiveness of the process cannot be fully verified by subsequent inspection and testing of the product. Sterilization is an example of such a process. For this reason,

33、 sterilization processes are validated for use, the performance of the sterilization process monitored routinely and the equipment maintained. Requirements in regard to dosimetry are given in ISO 11137-1 and ISO 11137-2. This part of ISO 11137 gives guidance to these requirements. The guidance given

34、 is not normative and is not provided as a checklist for auditors. The guidance provides explanations and methods that are regarded as being suitable means for complying with the requirements. Methods other than those given in the guidance may be used, if they are effective in achieving compliance w

35、ith the requirements of ISO 11137-1. EN ISO 11137-3:2006blank1Sterilization of health care products Radiation Part 3: Guidance on dosimetric aspects 1 Scope This part of ISO 11137 gives guidance on the requirements in ISO 11137 parts 1 and 2 relating to dosimetry. Dosimetry procedures related to the

36、 development, validation and routine control of a radiation sterilization process are described. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.

39、s, instruments, associated reference standards and procedures for their use ISO/TS 11139:2005 4 Measurement of dose Measurement of absorbed dose in connection with the radiation sterilization of medical devices is expressed in terms of absorbed dose to water. Dosimetry systems should be calibrated i

40、n terms of absorbed dose to water. In this part of ISO 11137, absorbed dose is referred to as dose. EN ISO 11137-3:20062 5 Selection and calibration of dosimetry systems 5.1 General The dosimetry system(s) used to monitor the irradiation of product has to be capable of providing accurate and precise

41、 results over the entire dose range of interest. 5.2 Selection of dosimetry systems 5.2.1 Dosimetric measurements are required in sterilization dose establishment, validation and routine control of radiation sterilization; different dosimetry systems might be needed for these different tasks. In dos

42、e establishment, for example, the range of doses required for a verification or incremental dose experiment might be outside the recommended (and calibrated) operating range of the dosimetry system used for the measurement of sterilization dose and, in such circumstances, an alternative system would

43、 have to be employed. 5.2.2 Guidance on the selection of appropriate dosimetry systems used in radiation sterilization can be found in ISO/ASTM 51261. The properties of individual dosimetry systems and procedures for their use are given in the ISO/ASTM Practices listed in the Bibliography. 5.3 Calib

44、ration of dosimetry system 5.3.1 It is a requirement in ISO 11137-1 that dose measurements be traceable to an appropriate national or International Standard and that their level of uncertainty be known. Consequently, all significant sources of measurement uncertainty should be identified and their m

45、agnitudes assessed. 5.3.2 Calibration of dosimetry systems for use in radiation sterilization is a significant activity. The response of most systems is influenced by the conditions of irradiation and measurement (e.g. temperature, humidity, dose rate and interval of time between termination of irra

46、diation and measurement). In addition, the effects of these conditions are often interrelated and they can vary from batch to batch of dosimeters. Therefore, calibration should be carried out under conditions that match as closely as possible the actual conditions of use. This means that calibration

47、 is needed for each radiation facility and it is not acceptable to use the outcome of a calibration supplied by the dosimeter manufacturer without additional experimental verification of its validity. 5.3.3 A recognized national metrology institute or other calibration laboratory accredited to ISO/I

48、EC 17025, or its equivalent, should be used in order to ensure traceability to a national or International Standard. A calibration certificate provided by a laboratory not having formal recognition or accreditation will not necessarily be proof of traceability to a national or International Standard

49、 and additional documentary evidence will be required. 5.3.4 The ability to make accurate dose measurements depends on the calibration and consistency of performance of the entire dosimetry system. This means that all equipment associated with the measurement procedure, not just the dosimeters, is controlled and its performance verified. 5.3.5 Detailed calibration procedures are given in ISO/ASTM 51261. Information on estimating and reporting uncertainty of measurement can be found in ISO/ASTM 51707. Additional guidance is given in Sharpe a
