GB/T 42063-2022 Sharps injury protection - Requirements and test methods - Sharps protection features for single-use hypodermic needles, introducers for catheters and needles used for blood sampling 1 Scope This document gives requirements and test methods for evaluating the performance parameters of sharps protection features, whether active or passive in design, for medical devices containing (sharp) hypodermic needles for single use, introducers for catheters and lancets, and other needles used in blood sampling. The sharps protection features may be integral to these products or combined with them prior to use to achieve the sharps injury protection. This document does not give requirements for the storage and handling of the sharps injury protection feature before its intended use, or for the medical device itself. 2 Normative references The following documents contain requirements which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of this document.

The study design should be based on statistical considerations and should have clear acceptance criteria. Guidance on conducting simulated user studies is outlined in Annex A. 4.1.2 Once in safe mode, the safety feature(s) of the device shall provide protection against sharps injury until safe disposal of the sharp. 4.1.3 It shall be apparent to the user as to when the device is in safe mode. Activated information in safe mode shall be communicated to the user in a clear and unmistakable manner by either visual, tactile and/or audible means. If the manufacturer determines that the user environment requires a permanent indication of safe mode, then a visual indication shall be included. 4.1.4 Activation of the sharps injury protection feature shall permit the user's hand(s) to maintain a certain distance or effective physical isolation from the tip of the needle. Safety features may be operated either actively or passively. If active operation is required, one-handed operation is recommended. 4.1.5 Safety features shall meet the following requirements:
