Questions have been raised lately concerning the ISO 8669 norm, which relates to urine drainage bags, as those offered by Curas Urology line.
ISO 8669 is a standard for urine collection/drainage bags. When a company meets ISO 8669-2 (Part 2), it means that the urine bag was designed and manufactured in a way that, when used under the conditions and for the purposes intended, there will not be any compromise to patient safety and the risk associated with the use of the bag would have already been evaluated as per the Risk Acceptability assessment requirements. The ISO 8669-2 only applies to body-worn and non-body-worn open-ended and closed urine collection bags. The standard does not apply to urine bags for paediatric uses.
Please be informed that the Curas Urology range of C2, C4, C6 and C8 urine drainage bags all meet this standard’s requirement - in full.
