EN ISO 20697 Test for Disposable Sterile Drainage Catheters

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of EN ISO 20697 testing. This standard specifies requirements for sterile, disposable drainage catheters, wound and fluid collection drainage systems, surgical drainage catheters, and drainage of fluid or air into the body where the catheter is surgically or percutaneously inserted into a body cavity or wound.

The drainage catheter is left to drain naturally or connected to a suction source for faster tissue granulation.

This standard does not apply to:

• suction catheters;
• tracheal catheters;
• urethral catheters;
• Ureteral stents, biliary stents and other stents;
• Drainage catheters placed percutaneously in the digestive tract with the gastrostomy technique;
• Neuraxial catheters used for removal of cerebrospinal fluid;
• Enteral catheters for removal of solutions or substances from the gastrointestinal tract;
• Coatings.
