DIN EN ISO 1135-4:2010-09

The standard specifies requirements for single-use transfusion sets for medical use in order to ensure their compatibility with containers for blood and blood components as well as with intravenous equipment. Furthermore, the standard shall provide guidance on specifications relating to the quality and performance of materials used in transfusion sets. Finally, it specifies the designations for transfusion set components. Basically, with respect to DIN EN ISO 1135-4:2005-03, the requirements for air inlet devices have been deleted and the clauses on the closure-piercing device and test for particulate contamination have been revised.

At DIN the responsible Committee is Working Committee NA 063-02-02 AA "Transfusions-/Infusionsbehältnisse und -geräte aus Kunststoffen" ("Transfusion/infusion containers and equipment made from plastics") of NAMed.
