——The standard name is modified.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. The issuing body of this standard shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
This standard was proposed by the National Medical Products Administration of People’s Republic of China.
This standard is under the jurisdiction of National Technical Committee on Medical Extracorporeal Circulation Equipment Standardization Administration of China (SAC/TC 158).
Introduction
This standard is intended to ensure that centrifugal pump-heads designed to provide continuous flow of blood in support of, or as a substitution for, the normal pumping function of the heart have been adequately tested for both their safety and function, and that product characteristics are appropriately disclosed when labelling the device.
This standard therefore contains procedures to be used for evaluation of extracorporeal centrifugal pump-head. Test procedures for determination of the hydraulic performance, blood cell damage and other performance are described, although limits for these characteristics are not specified. Ready identification of the characteristics shall, however, assist the user in the selection of a product that will suit the needs of the patient.
This standard also includes minimum reporting requirements, which will allow the user to compare service performance of centrifugal pump-heads of different designs in a standard way.
Requirements for animal and clinical studies have not been included in this standard. Such studies may be part of a manufacturer’s quality system.
This standard contains only those requirements that are specific to centrifugal pump-heads. Non-specific requirements are covered by references to other standards listed in Clause 2.
Cardiopulmonary bypass systems—
Centrifugal pump-head
1 Scope
This standard specifies requirements for sterile, single-use, extracorporeal centrifugal pump-heads, whether coated, surface-modified, or non-surface modified, intended for producing blood flow during extracorporeal circulation. Such blood flow is most commonly used to provide systemic perfusion during cardiopulmonary bypass, but also has applications for veno-venous bypass, kinetic-assisted venous drainage, and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation.
This standard does not apply to centrifugal pumps used as ventricular assist devices, and other components of extracorporeal circuits (e.g. blood tubing, pump console/driver).
