Scope:

This document specifies safety and performance requirements for manually powered suction equipment intended for oro-pharyngeal suction. It applies to equipment operated by foot or by hand or both.

 

The commonest use of manually powered suction is in situations outside of healthcare settings often described as field use or transport use. Use in these situations may involve extreme conditions of weather or terrain. Additional/alternative requirements for manually powered suction equipment intended for field use or transport use are included in this document.

 

This document does not apply to mucus extractors.

Project need:

To maintain alignment with international requirements (new edition of adoption). This proposed New Edition is being developed at the request of Technical Committee on Perioperative Safety (Z251 TC). It will provide the industry with the latest requirements for the safety of perioperative practice covered by the standards listed in Annex A.
