YY/T 0802.1-2024 Processing of medical device — Information to be provided by the medical device manufacturer — Part 1: Critical and semi-critical medical devices 1 Scope This document specifies requirements for the information to be provided by the medical device manufacturer for the processing of critical or semi-critical medical devices (i.e. a medical device that enters normally sterile parts of the human body or a medical device that comes into contact with mucous membranes or non-intact skin) or medical devices that are intended to be sterilized. This document is applicable to information for processing prior to use or reuse of the medical device. Processing instructions are not defined in this document. Rather, this document specifies requirements to assist manufacturers of medical devices in providing detailed processing instructions that consist of the following activities, where applicable: a) initial treatment at the point of use; b) preparation before cleaning; c) cleaning; d) disinfection; e) drying; f) inspection and maintenance; g) packaging; h) sterilization; i) storage; j) transportation. This standard excludes processing of the following: — non-critical medical devices unless they are intended to be sterilized; — textile devices used in patient draping systems or surgical clothing; — medical devices specified by the manufacturer for single use only and supplied ready for use. Note: See YY/T 0802.2-2024, Annex C, for further guidance on the application of medical device. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated reference, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced documents (including any amendments) applies. GB/T 42062 Medical devices - Application of risk management to medical devices (GB/T 42062-2022, ISO 14971:2019, IDT) 3 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply. 3.1 cleaning removal of contaminants to the extent necessary for further processing or for intended use Note: Cleaning is for the safe processing of medical devices and/or the next processing. Cleaning consists of the removal of adherent soil (e.g. blood, protein substances and other debris) from the surfaces, crevices, serrations, joints and lumens of a medical device by a manual or automated process that prepares the items for safe handling and/or further processing.

While this probability can be reduced to a very low number, it can never be reduced to zero. 3.17 sterilizing agent physical or chemical entity, or combination of entities, having sufficient microbicidal activity to achieve sterility under defined conditions 3.18 terminal process final step of processing to render a medical device safe and ready for its intended use 3.19 validation confirmation, through the provision of objective evidence, that the requirements for a specific intended use or application have been fulfilled 3.20 verification confirmation, through the provision of objective evidence, that specified requirements have been fulfilled [Source: ISO 9000: 2015, 3.8.13, modified]
