This International Standard specifies requirements for haemodialysers, haemodiafilters, haemofilters and haemoconcentrators, hereinafter collectively referred to as "the device", for use for humans.
This International Standard is not applicable to
— extracorporeal blood circuits,
— plasmafilters,
— haemoperfusion devices,
— vascular access devices,
— blood pumps,
— pressure monitors for the extracorporeal blood circuit,
— air detection devices,
— systems to prepare, maintain or monitor dialysate,
— systems used to perform haemodialysis, haemodiafiltration, haemofiltration or haemoconcentration,
— reprocessing procedures and equipment.
NOTE Requirements for the extracorporeal blood circuit for haemodialysers, haemodiafilters, and haemofilters are specified in ISO 8638.
