Scope:

This International Standard provides essential performance and safety requirements for oro-tracheal and naso-tracheal tubes and tracheal tube connectors. Tracheal tubes with walls reinforced with metal or nylon, tracheal tubes with shoulders, tapered tracheal tubes, tracheal tubes with means for suctioning or monitoring or delivery of drugs or other gases, and the many other types of tracheal tubes devised for specialized applications are included in this International Standard, as many specialized tracheal tubes are now commonly used, and all share similar essential requirements as defined in this International Standard.

Tracheobronchial (endobronchial) tubes, tracheostomy tubes and supralaryngeal airways are excluded from the scope of this International Standard.

Tracheal tubes intended for use with flammable anaesthetic gases or agents, lasers or electrosurgical equipment are outside the scope of this International Standard. 

Project need:

To prepare International standards for the equipment used to administer anaesthetic agents to patients, the equipment used to convey the correct anaesthetic agents and medical gases to the device or the patient at controlled flow and pressure and to conduct excess and expired gases safely away from the patient and operating room staff, equipment to monitor the patient undergoing treatment and equipment for use in respiratory therapy and care
