ISO 16672:2003 applies to ocular endotamponades (OEs), a group of non-solid implants used in ophthalmology to flatten and position a detached retina onto the choroid, or to tamponade the retina.
With regard to the safety and efficacy of OEs, ISO 16672:2003 specifies requirements for their intended performance, design attributes, pre-clinical and clinical evaluation, sterilization, product packaging, product labelling and the information supplied by the manufacturer.
