New “Guidance Document on EN ISO 15223-1 new symbols for SBS” is now published in our Document Library . This revision of the guidance document includes learnings from applying the symbols and represents the consensus of the members of the SBA.
The Sterile Barrier Association (SBA) created and validated new symbols for Sterile Barrier System (SBS) configurations respective packaging systems for sterile medical devices for inclusion into EN ISO 15223-1. Reasons for inclusion of such symbols are to control specific risks with aseptic presentation, to comply with new legal requirements deriving from the EUMDR 2017/745 and to provide additional user benefits.
