With the approval of PQS E06 performance specifications and
verification protocols on 9 January 2007, the devices listed in the
PIS 2000 edition are now subjected to re-evaluation that has to
follow new PQS procedures. The deadline for submission of product
dossier for prequalification for these PIS listed items is set for 30
September 2007. On this day, the PIS E06 section will be shut down
while PQS E06 will become fully functional. From that day on, WHO
will only recommend PQS prequalified devices.
