Scope:

This Standard specifies requirements for adult and paediatric tracheostomy tubes and connectors. Such tubes are primarily designed for patients who require anaesthesia, artificial ventilation or other respiratory support.

ISO 5366:2016 is also applicable to specialized tracheostomy tubes that share common attributes, for example, those without a connector at the machine end intended for spontaneously breathing patients and those with reinforced walls or tubes made of metal or tubes with shoulders, tapering tubes, tubes with provision for suctioning or monitoring or delivery of drugs or other gases.

Flammability of tracheostomy tubes is a well recognized hazard (for example, when electrosurgical units or lasers are used with flammable anaesthetic agents in oxidant-enriched atmospheres) that is addressed by appropriate clinical management and is 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
