What is ISO 11608?

ISO 11608 provides vital guidelines for the design, development, and testing of needle-based injection systems.

ISO 11608 standards apply to various need-based injection systems, including autoinjectors, pen injectors, pre-filled syringes with safety systems, and on-body delivery systems. Developed to treat diabetes, chronic pain, or arthritis, these devices require precision and sterility to protect patient safety. This standard guides the manufacturing, testing, and distribution of these devices, providing manufacturers with a roadmap for ensuring the devices meet stringent requirements for quality, functionality, and safety. Compliance with ISO 11608 ensures that these devices are reliable, effective, and safe for patients, while also helping to meet regulatory requirements and enhance patient confidence in their treatments.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the key parts of ISO 11608?

Injection system testing includes several parts:

  • Part 1: Requirements and test methods for needle-based injection systems
  • Part 2: Needles requirements
  • Part 3: Finished containers compatibility
  • Part 4: Electromechanical injectors
  • Part 5: Automated functions
  • Part 6: On-body delivery systems
  • Part 7: Accessibility for persons with visual impairment

What testing is required to comply with ISO 11608?

Testing includes dose accuracy validation, durability under stress, compatibility with medications, and usability assessments under real-world conditions. At Purple Diamond, we can also perform transportation testing, accelerated aging, stability storage, and environmental testing. 

What types of devices require ISO 11608?

  • Autoinjectors
  • Pen injectors
  • Pre-filled syringes with safety systems
  • On-body delivery systems (OBDS)

These devices can be designed for single or multiple doses, refillable or disposable use, intradermal, subcutaneous, or intramuscular delivery.

Who needs to comply with ISO 11608?

Medical device manufacturers, pharmaceutical companies, and developers of combination products involving injection systems must comply with ISO 11608 needle-based injection system testing to gain regulatory approval.
