Absorbent incontinence products for urine and/or faeces — Basic principles for evaluation of single-use adult products from the perspective of users and caregivers
This document provides guidelines and requirements for designing and conducting an evaluation of single-use adult incontinence absorbing products. It provides guidelines and requirements on creating data collection tools. In particular, it provides a framework for eliciting and recording the views of users and their carers on the acceptability of products. In addition, a product diary is described which can help to quantify some parameters of product use, such as wear times, the mass of urine absorbed by the product and the severity of any leakage from it. This document does not cover direct comparison between products based on statistical parameters, neither does it provide guidelines on measuring the clinical efficacy of products; that is available in ISO 14155.
Produits d'incontinence pour l'absorption d'urine et/ou de matières fécales — Principes de base pour l'évaluation des produits à usage unique pour adultes par les utilisateurs et les soignants
La présente Norme internationale donne des lignes directrices utiles pour la conception et la conduite d'une évaluation des aides pour absorption pour incontinence pour adultes à usage unique. Elle donne des lignes directrices pour la création d'outils de collecte des données. Elle propose notamment un cadre permettant de sélectionner et d'enregistrer les opinions que les utilisateurs et le personnel soignant peuvent émettre quant aux performances du produit. En outre, elle décrit une approche facultative permettant d'établir les caractéristiques d'étanchéité, la durée d'utilisation des produits et la masse d'urine supportée. La présente Norme internationale ne traite pas de la comparaison directe de plusieurs produits à partir des paramètres statistiques.
