FR Recognition Number 1-142
Standard
ISO  10079-1 Third Edition 2015-11-01
Medical suction equipment - Part 1: Electrically powered suction equipment [Including: Amendment 1 (2018)]
Scope/Abstract
ISO 10079-1:2015 specifies safety and performance requirements for electrically powered medical and surgical suction equipment. It applies to equipment used in health care facilities such as hospitals, for domiciliary care of patients and for field and transport use.
ISO 10079-1:2015 does not apply to the following:
a) central power supply (by vacuum/compressed air generation), piping systems of vehicles and buildings, and wall connectors;
b) end-pieces such as suction catheters, drains, curettes, Yankauer suckers and suction tips;
c) syringes;
d) dental suction equipment;
e) anaesthetic gas scavenging systems;
f) laboratory suction;
g) autotransfusion systems;
h) mucus extractors including neonatal mucus extractors;
i) suction equipment where the collection container is downstream of the vacuum pump;
j) ventouse (obstetric) equipment;
k) suction equipment marked for endoscopic use only;
l) plume evacuation systems.
Extent of Recognition
Complete standard
Rationale for Recognition
This standard is relevant to medical devices and is recognized because it is scientifically and technically valid and not in conflict with existing regulatory policies.
Transition Period
FDA recognition of ISO 10079-1 Third edition 2015-11 [Rec# 1-142] will be superseded by recognition of ISO 10079-1 Fourth edition 2022-03 [Rec# 1-157]. FDA will accept declarations of conformity, in support of premarket submissions, to [Rec# 1-142] until December 17, 2023. After this transition period, declarations of conformity to [Rec# 1-142] will not be accepted.
