Description / Abstract:
This part of ISO 14708 specifies requirements for safety and
performance of active implantable circulatory support devices. It
is not applicable to extracorporeal perfusion devices,
cardiomyoplasty, heart restraint devices and counter-pulsation
devices, such as extra- or intra-aortic balloon pumps.
This part of ISO 14708 specifies type tests, animal studies and
clinical evaluation requirements.
NOTE The device that is commonly referred to as an active
implantable medical device can in fact be a single device, a
combination of devices, or a combination of a device or devices and
one or more accessories. Not all of these parts are required to be
either partially or totally implantable, but there is a need to
specify main requirements of non-implantable parts and accessories
if they could affect the safety or performance of the implantable
device.
