BS EN ISO 7886-1
BS EN ISO 7886-1 outlines the requirements and test methods for sterile hypodermic syringes to be used manually in medical applications. Presto Group provides sophisticated testing equipment that can be used to test syringe performance, strength, leakage, plunger motion, and connection integrity. The standard is used by the manufacturers to investigate the mechanical and functional performance of disposable syringes in standard test conditions. Adopted worldwide in the pharmaceutical and healthcare industries for maintaining the product quality and patients' safety. Presto testing instruments provide accurate and repeatable results for syringe quality verification and are crucial for ensuring consistency, packaging integrity, and compliance with international medical device testing standards in the industry.
Significance BS EN ISO 7886-1 is important for the pharmaceutical and medical device industries because it provides a mechanism for the design and manufacturing of reliable and safe syringe systems. Unreliable syringes can result in incorrect dosing, leakage, contamination risks and injection difficulties. Its regular application enables systematic assessment of the functioning and mechanical properties of disposable syringes used for injections. Presto Laboratories supplies manufacturers with state-of-the-art technology and systems for testing the strength of the syringe, operation of the plunger, leakage performance of a device, and integrity of the connection. Results from these tests allow manufacturers to produce consistent products, support their quality control program, and demonstrate compliance with international regulatory requirements for medical devices. It also promotes patient safety and confidence in the health system. Scope BS EN ISO 7886-1 is only applicable to hypodermic syringes for single patient injections. This standard also defines conditions and test methods to verify the following: dimensional accuracy; leakage performance; operating characteristics of the plunger; graduation marking; and mechanical integrity. BS EN ISO 7886-1 applies to any organisation involved in the design, manufacture or verification of syringes and includes: syringe manufacturers, pharmaceutical companies, testing laboratories, healthcare product developers and quality assurance departments.
