What is ISO 595-2 - Reusable all-glass or metal-and-glass syringes requirements and tests about?
ISO 595 is a European standard that discusses reusable all-glass or metal-and-glass syringes for medical use. ISO 595-2 is the second part of a multi-part series that outlines the design, performance, and the corresponding test methods for reusable syringes having a graduated capacity from 1 to 100 ml, for general medical use to ensure efficient reusable all-glass or metal-and-glass syringes.
ISO 595-2 applies to syringes of all-glass and metal-and-glass construction.
Who is ISO 595-2 - Reusable all-glass or metal-and-glass syringes for?
ISO 595-2 on reusable all-glass or metal-and-glass syringes requirements and tests is useful for:
- Manufacturers of reusable all-glass or metal-and-glass syringes
- Medical laboratories
- Regulatory authorities
Why should you use ISO 595-2 - Reusable all-glass or metal-and-glass syringes requirements and tests?
Reusable all-glass or metal-and-glass syringes generally have small volume errors and are thus ideal for high precision work. Additionally, glass syringes have a high gas barrier, which is good for oxygen-sensitive applications.
ISO 595-2 guideline assists you with materials, construction, assembly, and performance requirements on resistance to thermal shock, resistance to dry heat, resistance to corrosion, freedom from leakage between piston and barrel, the permanence of markings and freedom from entrapped fluid for manufacturing efficient reusable all-glass or metal-and-glass syringes that are durable and of high quality.
ISO 595-2 also provides a test procedure for resistance to thermal shock, a test procedure for resistance to dry heat, the test procedure for resistance to corrosion, the test procedure for leakage between piston and barrel, the test procedure for the permanence of markings, the test procedure for entrapped fluid, and test procedure for freedom from striae and strain that assists in evaluating the reusable all-glass or metal-and-glass syringes for medical use.
With obedience and compliance to ISO 595-2, you can enhance the efficacy of reusable all-glass or metal-and-glass syringes by properly assessing them and manufacturing a standardised product. In addition, ensure the health and safety of patients.
