1 Scope
This document specifies requirements and test methods for Needle-Based Injection
Systems ( NISs ) for single-patient use intended to
deliver discrete volumes ( bolus ) of medicinal product, which can be delivered through
needles or soft cannulas for intradermal, subcutaneous and/or intramuscular
delivery, incorporating pre-filled or user-filled , replaceable or non-replaceable
containers .
This document applies in cases where the NIS incorporates a prefilled syringe.
However, stand-alone prefilled syringes defined by ISO 11040‑8 are not covered by this
document (see exclusions below).
It is important to note that other functions and characteristics of the prefilled
syringe, such as dose
accuracy , are subject to the requirements (delivered volume) in
ISO 11040‑8
and not this document, unless the addition impacts the delivery function (e.g. a
mechanism that intends to restrict or stop the plunger movement, which would limit
the dose delivered). In that case, the system is completely covered by this document
and applicable requirements of the ISO 11608 series.
Excluded from the scope are:
— stand-alone prefilled syringes defined by ISO 11040‑8 (with noted
exceptions above);
—
NISs that provide continuous delivery and ...
