Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 11810-1 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 172, Optics and photonics, Subcommittee SC 9,
Electro-optical systems.
This first edition cancels and replaces ISO 11810:2002, which has been technically revised.
ISO 11810 consists of the following parts, under the general title Lasers and laser-related equipment — Test
method and classification for the laser resistance of surgical drapes and/or patient protective covers:
 Part 1: Primary ignition and penetration
 Part 2: Secondary ignition

ISO 11810-1:2005(E)
Introduction
Some laser applications in medicine may require laser-resistant surgical drapes or other patient protective
covers. Surgical drapes or other patient protective covers are necessary when a sterile procedure is
performed and the surrounding area needs to be protected from liquids, secretions and inadvertent laser
radiation. While conventional surgical drapes or other patient protective covers are not necessarily laser-
resistant, specifically designed drapes offer the possibility of laser resistance.
Laser induced risks include ignition, flammability, melting, penetration, thermal transfer and reflectivity. Textile
and non-woven drape materials may have other risks but they may provide a laser barrier. While there are
many potential ignition devices present in the operating room (e.g. fibre optic illumination systems, electro-
surgical units, hot wire cauteries), this test method addresses only the laser ignition source. This part of
ISO 11810 is intended for use in testing a surgical drape or other patient protective cover that claims to be
laser-resistant. In addition, areas within this product may vary in material composition or design. Depending
on the claims being made by the manufacturer or end-user requirements, all areas for which laser resistance
is claimed may need to be tested.
CO lasers may provide the most challenging conditions of all medical lasers. Ignition/flammability tests and
2
penetration tests may disclose more challenging laser wavelengths as well as modes of laser delivery, for
example Q-switching in the nanosecond range. The 20 W CO laser (continuous wave) has been selected as
2
the laser for this part of ISO 11810.
Users of this test method are cautioned that the laser resistance of a surgical drape or other patient protective
cover will be wavelength sensitive and that a surgical drape or other protective cover should be tested at the
wavelengths for which it is intended to be used. If tested using other wavelengths, the power settings and
modes of delivery need to be explicitly stated.
The results from this part of ISO 11810 should not be applied to other wavelengths and temporal formats.
The performance of laser-resistant surgical drapes or other patient protective covers may be changed when
used in combination rather than individually.
