Overview
SIST EN ISO 18369-2:2006/oprA1:2010 is an important standard amendment that addresses tolerances for contact lenses within the field of ophthalmic optics. This amendment, developed by ISO Technical Committee 172 and CEN/TC 170, refines and clarifies requirements and procedures related to manufacturing tolerances, referencing risk management and clinical investigation practices. As part of the EN ISO 18369 standards series, it plays a crucial role in ensuring the safety, quality, and performance of contact lenses on both European and international markets.
Key Topics
- Contact Lens Tolerances: Establishes requirements for acceptable deviations in parameters such as power, diameter, and thickness of contact lenses.
- Amendment Provisions: Updates normative references and introduces new clauses to enhance clarity and compliance around manufacturing deviations.
- Risk Assessment: Incorporates ISO 14971 for medical device risk management, requiring a systematic analysis if specified tolerances cannot be universally met.
- Clinical Investigations: References ISO 11980 for clinical procedures to ensure product safety and effectiveness when deviations from standard tolerances are necessary.
- Regulatory Compliance: Supports legal and regulatory frameworks by providing internationally recognized standards to guide manufacturers and authorities.
Applications
The practical implications and uses of SIST EN ISO 18369-2:2006/oprA1:2010 are significant for stakeholders in the ophthalmic industry and for health professionals:
- Manufacturers of Contact Lenses: The amendment allows for justified deviations from tolerance specifications, provided a thorough risk assessment and supporting clinical data are available. This flexibility benefits the introduction of innovative lens designs or advanced manufacturing technologies.
- Ensures safer products by requiring risk evaluations and clinical evidence in cases of non-standard manufacturing.
- Facilitates compliance with European and international regulatory requirements.
- Quality Assurance and Regulatory Teams: Enables application of internationally harmonized safety and quality benchmarks. Tolerances and listed deviations serve as reliable criteria during product development, conformity assessment, and market surveillance.
- Clinical Researchers: By referencing ISO 11980, the amendment encourages well-documented clinical investigations before introducing any product that deviates from typical tolerances. This helps in demonstrating the performance and safety of novel contact lens solutions.
- Healthcare Professionals and Patients: Assurance that lenses available in the market, even with manufacturing deviations, maintain high safety and performance standards, supported by documented risk management and clinical research.
Related Standards
SIST EN ISO 18369-2:2006/oprA1:2010 is closely related to a set of international standards that form the foundation for contact lens safety and performance:
- ISO 18369 Series: Comprehensive standards for contact lenses, including definitions, test methods, and overall requirements.
- ISO 14971 - Medical Devices: Application of Risk Management: Key reference for evaluating and controlling risks associated with medical devices, now explicitly required for tolerance deviations.
- ISO 11980 - Clinical Investigation of Contact Lenses and Care Products: Provides guidance for the clinical validation of products with non-standard parameters.
- European and National Standards: Harmonized through the CEN/CENELEC framework, ensuring widespread acceptance across European markets.
Conclusion
SIST EN ISO 18369-2:2006/oprA1:2010 enhances the existing framework for contact lens tolerances by integrating risk management and clinical validation requirements. This amendment supports innovation, quality assurance, and regulatory compliance in the manufacture and approval of contact lenses, ensuring enduring safety and performance for end users in the field of ophthalmic optics.
