Specifies, based on current medical knowledge, the evaluation of the ability of an endovascular device to meet specified medical situations. Additional recommendations on packaging and sterilization are also provided. This draft Standard will supplement AS ISO 14630, which specifies general requirements for the performance of non-active surgical implants. It is applicable to endovascular devices, such as endovascular prostheses, vascular stents and filters.
Scope
1.1 This Technical Specification gives recommendations, based on current medical knowledge, for evaluating the ability of an endovascular device to meet specified medical situations. Additional recommendations on packaging and sterilization are also provided.
This Technical Specification should be considered as a supplement to ISO 14630, which specifies general requirements for the performance of non-active surgical implants.
1.2 This Technical Specification is applicable to endovascular devices, such as endovascular prostheses, vascular stents and filters used in the following locations:
a) aorta;
b) coronary arteries;
c) supra-aortic trunks (e.g. carotid arteries, vertebral arteries);
d) pulmonary artery;
e) visceral arteries (e.g. renal, mesenteric);
f) peripheral arteries;
g) arterio-venous access shunts;
h) veins;
i) vena cava;
j) transjugular intrahepatic porto-systemic shunts (TIPS or TIPSS).
1.3 This Technical Specification is not applicable to vascular occluders, with the exception of contra-lateral iliac occluders when used as an integral part of an aorto-uni-iliac device. The requirements as stated in ISO 14630 apply for excluded products.
1.4 This Technical Specification is not applicable to procedures and devices used prior to the introduction of the endovascular devices (defined in 3.1 through 3.4), such as balloon angioplasty devices.
NOTE Annexes A and B give structured guidelines to the appropriate tests/studies and information on requirements to check against specific device-related problems during the design of medical devices and accessories. Annex C gives guidelines
to appropriate tests. Annex D gives medical definitions for reportable clinical events.
