Standard
ANSI  Z80.27-2014 (R2019)
American National Standard for Ophthalmics - Implantable Glaucoma Devices
Scope/Abstract
The scope of this standard applies to devices that are implanted in the eye to treat glaucoma by facilitating aqueous outflow. The standard excludes glaucoma devices whose effect depends upon metabolic and/or pharmacologic mechanisms.
Extent of Recognition
Partial recognition. The following part(s) of the standard is (are) not recognized:
Clause 7.4 Ethylene oxide sterilant residues
Rationale for Recognition
This standard is relevant to medical devices and is recognized on its scientific and technical merit and/or because it supports existing regulatory policies.

This standard is recognized in part because:
Clause 7.4 (ethylene chlorohydrin limit) conflicts with an existing published final guidance. See guidance #2 below (MIGS).
Clause 7. 4 (ethylene oxide limit) conflicts with another recognized standard. See reference #4 below (ISO 11979-8).
