This document addresses good clinical practice for the design, conduct, recording and reporting of
clinical investigations carried out in human subjects to assess the clinical performance or effectiveness
and safety of medical devices.
For post-market clinical investigations, the principles set forth in this document are intended to be
followed as far as relevant, considering the nature of the clinical investigation (see Annex I).
This document specifies general requirements intended to
— protect the rights, safety and well-being of human subjects,
— ensure the scientific conduct of the clinical investigation and the credibility of the clinical
investigation results,
— define the responsibilities of the sponsor and principal investigator, and
— assist sponsors, investigators, ethics committees, regulatory authorities and other bodies involved
in the conformity assessment of medical devices.
NOTE 1 Users of this document need to consider whether other standards and/or national requirements
also apply to the investigational device(s) under consideration or the clinical investigation. If differences in
requirements exist, the most stringent apply.
NOTE 2 For Software as a Medical Device (SaMD) demonstration of the analytical validity (the SaMD’s output
is accurate for a given input), and where appropriate, the scientific validity (the SaMD’s output is associated to the
intended clinical condition/physiological state), and clinical performance (the SaMD’s output yields a clinically
meaningful association to the target use) of the SaMD, the requirements of this document apply as far as relevant
(see Reference [4]). Justifications for exemptions from this document can consider the uniqueness of indirect
contact between subjects and the SaMD.
This document does not apply to in vitro diagnostic medical devices. However, there can be situations,
dependent on the device and national or regional requirements, where users of this document might
consider whether specific sections and/or requirements of this document could be applicable.

This document specifies terminology, principles and a process for risk management of medical devices,
including software as a medical device and in vitro diagnostic medical devices. The process described in
this document intends to assist manufacturers of medical devices to identify the hazards associated with
the medical device, to estimate and evaluate the associated risks, to control these risks, and to monitor
the effectiveness of the controls.
The requirements of this document are applicable to all phases of the life cycle of a medical device. The
process described in this document applies to risks associated with a medical device, such as risks related
to biocompatibility, data and systems security, electricity, moving parts, radiation, and usability.
The process described in this document can also be applied to products that are not necessarily medical
devices in some jurisdictions and can also be used by others involved in the medical device life cycle.
This document does not apply to:
— decisions on the use of a medical device in the context of any particular clinical procedure; or
— business risk management.
This document requires manufacturers to establish objective criteria for risk acceptability but does not
specify acceptable risk levels.
Risk management can be an integral part of a quality management system. However, this document does
not require the manufacturer to have a quality management system in place.
NOTE Guidance on the application of this document can be found in ISO/TR 24971[9].

This Technical Report provides information for those choosing or using sterile and non-sterile gloves for medical applications based on a risk assessment. It deals with gloves worn primarily for the protection of the patient and glove user from biological cross contamination.
NOTE   Gloves worn specifically for the protection of the glove user from e.g. chemical and biological hazards are covered by the EU-Directive on Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and the related standards e.g. EN 16523 1, EN 374-2, EN 374-4, EN ISO 374-1and EN ISO 374-5.
This document describes the rationale behind the requirements of the EN 455 series and explores the possible trade-offs in glove selection between the various factors which affect glove, physical properties, biocompatibility, comfort and sensitivity. The strengths and weaknesses of various alternative glove materials and the potential biological hazards presented by their use are also explored.

ISO 11608-7:2016 specifies particular requirements to make needle-based drug delivery systems or NIS (needle-based injection system) accessible for persons with visual impairments. It applies to devices intended for patient or caregiver administration of medicinal products to humans.
It covers requirements to allow for safe and correct handling of the NIS, including labelling, packaging, and instructions for use. It also includes requirements for training programs, if applicable.
It covers requirements for NIS that are claimed to be appropriate for use by persons with visual impairments.
It does not address requirements for use of sharps containers by persons with visual impairments.
Although specifically intended to apply to needle-based injection systems within the ISO 11608 series, ISO 11608-7:2016 can be applied to NIS outside the ISO 11608 series as well, if they might be used by persons with visual impairments.
It is written to address the needs of persons with all levels of visual limitations, including low, moderate, or severe visual impairment; legal, functional, or total blindness; and colour vision deficiencies.
Therefore, ISO 11608-7:2016 includes the requirement to provide information in visual formats that can be perceived and understood by people with moderate visual impairment and in non-visual formats (e.g. tactile or auditory) that can be perceived and understood by people with no useful vision.
For simplicity's sake, this range is described in ISO 11608-7:2016 as addressing the needs of individuals with moderate visual impairment or blindness.

This document identifies requirements for symbols used in medical device labelling that convey
information on the safe and effective use of medical devices. It also lists symbols that satisfy the
requirements of this document.
This document is applicable to symbols used in a broad spectrum of medical devices, which are
marketed globally and therefore need to meet different regulatory requirements.
These symbols may be used on the medical device itself, on its packaging or in the associated
documentation. The requirements of this document are not intended to apply to symbols specified in
other standards.
