A standard set of pictograms on device packaging.
Also known as: Device labelling symbols, Single use symbol
ISO 15223 registers the pictograms on medical device packaging — an hourglass for use-by, a factory for manufacturer, a crossed-out 2 for single use. They exist so a device can be labelled once for every market without translation, which is why they appear without words.
Register the pictograms used on medical device labelling, including manufacturer, use-by, batch, single use and sterility marks.
Contexts: Medicine
Exist so that one label serves every market without translation, which is why they carry no accompanying words on the pack.
Contexts: Medicine
Include a crossed-out figure 2 meaning do not reuse, which is a clinical instruction rather than a commercial one and applies even where a device appears undamaged.

Small dark pictograms in a row on a package: an hourglass outline, a factory shape, a crossed numeral and a lot mark.
