What is ISO 8536-15 – Light protective infusion sets for single use about?
ISO 8536-15 is an international organisation for standardization that specifies the requirements for infusion sets for single use that use light-protective agents in the fluid path materials (henceforth abbreviated as "light-protective infusion sets”).
ISO 8536-15 also provides guidelines for performance and quality specifications of materials used in light-protective infusion sets.
Who is ISO 8536-15 - Light protective infusion sets for single use for?
ISO 8536-15 on light protective infusion sets for single use is useful for:
- Device manufacturers
- The pharmaceuticals industry
- The healthcare industry
- Infusion equipment manufacturers/suppliers
- Medical clinics
Why should you use ISO 8536-15 - Light protective infusion sets for single use?
With the continuous development of infusion technology and the increasingly exacting clinical requirements, some infusion sets need to be adapted to specific clinical requirements.
Some pharmaceuticals, such as sodium nitroprusside, nitro-glycerine, and vitamin B2, are light sensitive and need to be clinically infused under light-protective conditions; ISO 8536-15 is applicable to such sets. ISO 8536-15 stipulates the light-transmission requirements for the drip chamber and the tube.
ISO 8536-15 provides its users with general, physical, chemical, and biological requirements along with guidelines for labelling, packaging, and disposal. Using ISO 8536-15 guidelines ensures safety and protection, durability, and quality assurance to its users.
