ISO 11658

Description / Abstract: This International Standard specifies requirements for the physical, biological and performance testing of biocompatible modifications on extracorporeal devices. This International Standard is applicable to components of heart-lung bypass equipment and of extracorporeal life support equipment that carry blood and have modifications on the blood and tissue-contacting surfaces of the device.

The assumption is that these devices will be used at conventional ranges of hypothermia and normothermia. If hyperthermia (37 °C) applications are indicated, then testing is performed over the indicated range.
