Non-sterileMedical device label symbolsNon-sterileThe device has not been through a sterilisation process and is supplied non-sterile. Do not treat it as sterile.On ISO 15223-1
Patient numberMedical device label symbolsPatient numberThe number written next to this symbol identifies one particular patient. It refers to the patient, not to the device or its batch.On ISO 15223-1
Serial number (SN)Medical device label symbolsSerial number (SN)The number next to SN is the manufacturer's serial number, which identifies this one individual device rather than a whole batch. It lets that specific unit be identified.On ISO 15223-1
Single patient, multiple useMedical device label symbolsSingle patient, multiple useThe device may be used several times, for multiple procedures, but only on the same single patient. It must not be used on another patient.On ISO 15223-1
Single sterile barrier systemMedical device label symbolsSingle sterile barrier systemThe device is packed in a single sterile barrier system, one layer of packaging that keeps it sterile until opened. A double ring means two such layers.On ISO 15223-1
SterileMedical device label symbolsSterileThe medical device has gone through a sterilisation process. Versions with an extra box after the word name the method used, such as EO, R or a thermometer for steam or dry heat.On ISO 15223-1
Sterilized using ethylene oxide (STERILE EO)Medical device label symbolsSterilized using ethylene oxide (STERILE EO)The device was sterilised using ethylene oxide (EO) gas. Like the other STERILE marks it means the contents are sterile as supplied.On ISO 15223-1
Sterilized using irradiation (STERILE R)Medical device label symbolsSterilized using irradiation (STERILE R)The device was sterilised using irradiation, shown by the R in the second box. Like the other STERILE marks it means the contents are sterile as supplied.On ISO 15223-1

Type B applied partMedical electrical equipment symbolsType B applied partMarks a type B applied part under IEC 60601-1, the part of the equipment that touches the patient in the least strict protection class against electric shock. Type B parts are generally not conductive, can be released from the patient immediately, and may be connected to earth.On IEC 60601-1
Type BF applied partMedical electrical equipment symbolsType BF applied partMarks a type BF (body floating) applied part under IEC 60601-1, the part of the equipment that touches the patient. It is used where the part has conductive or longer-term contact with the patient and is floating, meaning separated from earth; it is stricter than type B and less strict than type CF.On IEC 60601-1
Type CF applied partMedical electrical equipment symbolsType CF applied partMarks a type CF (cardiac floating) applied part under IEC 60601-1, the strictest protection class against electric shock. It is used for parts that make an electrical connection directly to the heart, and it is floating, meaning separated from earth.On IEC 60601-1
Unique device identifier (UDI)Medical device label symbolsUnique device identifier (UDI)Marks the carrier that contains the device's unique device identifier (UDI) information, such as the code printed next to it. Read or scan that code to identify the device.On ISO 15223-1
Upper limit of temperatureMedical device label symbolsUpper limit of temperatureThe temperature printed next to the top stroke is the highest temperature the medical device can safely be exposed to. Keep it below this value in storage and transport.On ISO 15223-1
