Scope:

This Standard specifies requirements for the information to be provided by the medical device manufacturer for the processing of a medical device that requires cleaning followed by disinfection and/or sterilization to ensure that the device is safe and effective for its intended use.

This includes information for processing prior to use or reuse of the medical device. The provisions of ISO 17664:2017 are applicable to medical devices that are intended for invasive or other direct or indirect patient contact

Project need:

The following proposed ISO TC 198 Canadian adoptions are being developed as part of an overall program of health care standardization and are intended to complement the Canadian-developed medical device reprocessing standards. ISO/TC 198 is responsible for specifying requirements for sterilization processes, sterilizing equipment, washer-disinfectors and ancillary products used in ensuring satisfactory sterilization of health care products. Health care products encompass medical devices, including in vitro diagnostic medical devices, and medicinal products (pharmaceuticals including biopharmaceuticals).

Note: The information provided above was obtained by the Standards Council of Canada (SCC) and is provided as part of a centralized, transparent notification system for new standards development. The system allows SCC-accredited Standards Development Organizations (SDOs), and members of the public, to be informed of new work in Canadian standards development, and allows SCC-accredited SDOs to identify and resolve potential duplication of standards and effort.

Individual SDOs are responsible for the content and accuracy of the information presented here. The text is presented in the language in which it was provided to SCC.
