Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International
Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting.
Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies
casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 10555-5 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 84, Devices for administration of medicinal
products and intravascular catheters.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 10555-5:1996), which has been technically
revised. It also incorporates the Amendment ISO 10555-5:1996/Amd 1:1999 and the Technical

ISO 10555 consists of the following parts, under the general title Intravascular catheters — Sterile and
single-use catheters:

— Part 3: Central venous catheters
— Part 4: Balloon dilatation catheters
— Part 5: Over-needle peripheral catheters
The following part is under preparation:
— Part 6: Subcutaneous implanted ports
The following part has been withdrawn and the content has been included in ISO 10555-1:
— Part 2: Angiographic catheters
Attention is drawn to ISO 11070, which specifies requirements for accessory devices for use with
intravascular catheters, and to ISO 14972, which specifies requirements for sterile obturators for use
with over-needle peripheral catheters.
1 Scope
This part of ISO 10555 specifies requirements for over-needle peripheral intravascular catheters, intended
for accessing the peripheral vascular system, supplied in the sterile condition and intended for single use.
2 Normative references
The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are
indispensable for its application. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated

For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions given in ISO 10555-1 and the following apply.
3.1
over-needle peripheral intravascular catheter
catheter designed for the introduction or withdrawal of liquids or devices into or from the peripheral
vascular system
3.2
needle
assembly comprising at least a needle tube attached to, and communicating with, a needle hub
See Figure 1.
3.3
needle tube
rigid tube with one end sharpened to facilitate entry into body tissue
3.4
needle hub
fitting attached to the needle tube, providing communication with its bore
3.5
vent fitting
fixed or removable fitting permitting venting of air while restricting or preferably preventing the
escape of blood
1) Upon its publication, ISO 80369-7 will replace ISO 594-1 and ISO 594-2.
3.6
catheter unit
assembly comprising the catheter tube, catheter hub and any integral fittings
See Figure 1.
3.7
flashback
blood flow into the needle hub

NOTE Other design features may include wings, injection ports integral with the catheter hub, other means
of connecting to the fluid path, protection against accidental needle stick injury, etc. The catheter tube may have
a single lumen or multiple lumens.
4 Requirements
4.1 General
Unless otherwise specified in this part of ISO 10555, over-needle peripheral catheters shall comply
with ISO 10555-1.
The catheter unit shall be colour coded in accordance with Table 1 to indicate the nominal outside
diameter of the catheter tube.
The distal end shall be tapered for ease of insertion and shall fit closely to the needle. When the needle is
fully inserted into the catheter unit, the catheter tube shall neither extend beyond the heel of the needle
bevel nor be more than 1 mm from it (see dimension a in Figure 1).
4.3.3 Needle
4.3.3.1 Material
When examined by normal or corrected-to-normal vision with × 2,5 magnification, the needle point
shall appear sharp and free from feather edges, burrs and hooks.
NOTE The point should be designed to be non-coring. Annex C shows examples of typical needle point geometries.
The needle hub or another feature shall permit detection of flashback and shall be designed to
communicate with the bore of the introducer needle tube. If the introducer needle is provided with
a removable vent fitting, the needle hub shall terminate in a female fitting with a 6 % (Luer) taper
complying with ISO 594-1.
When tested in accordance with Annex A, the needle tube shall not be loosened in the needle hub.
A vent fitting shall be provided. When tested in accordance with Annex D, fluid shall not leak out of the
vent fitting within 15 s.
Annex A
(normative)
A.1 Principle
A force is applied (successively tensile and compressive) to the needle tube and needle hub and the tube-
hub union is then examined for loosening.
A.2 Apparatus
Tensile testing apparatus, capable of exerting forces of up to 20 N with an accuracy of ± 1 %.
A.3.3 Examine the union of needle tube and needle hub and record whether the needle tube has
been loosened.
