Description / Abstract:
This International Standard specifies requirements for the
physical, biological and performance testing of biocompatible
modifications on extracorporeal devices. This International
Standard is applicable to components of heart-lung bypass equipment
and of extracorporeal life support equipment that carry blood and
have modifications on the blood and tissue-contacting surfaces of
the device.
The assumption is that these devices will be used at
conventional ranges of hypothermia and normothermia. If
hyperthermia (37 °C) applications are indicated, then testing
is performed over the indicated range.
