Medical suction equipment — Part 1: Electrically powered suction equipment
1 Scope
This document specifies safety and performance requirements for electrically powered medical and surgical suction equipment. It applies to equipment used in health care facilities such as hospitals, for domiciliary care of patients and for field use and transport use.
Medical suction equipment — Part 2: Manually powered suction equipment
1 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…
Medical suction equipment — Part 3: Suction equipment powered from a vacuum or positive pressure gas...
1 Scope
This document specifies basic safety and performance requirements for medical suction equipment powered from a vacuum or positive pressure gas source generating venturi suction. It applies to suction equipment connected to medical gas pipeline systems or cylinders and venturi attachments and can be standalone or part of an integrated system.
Anaesthetic and respiratory equipment — Supralaryngeal airways and connectors
1 Scope
NOTE There is guidance or rationale for this Clause in Annex A.2.
1.1 This document provides the essential requirements for the design of supralaryngeal airways and connectors. These devices are intended to provide a distinct respiratory pathway to the top of the larynx to provide an unobstructed airway in patients during spontaneous, assisted or controlled ventilation.
1.2 This…
Anaesthetic and respiratory equipment — Tracheobronchial tubes
1 Scope
This document specifies requirements for safety, materials, design and information supplied with tracheobronchial tubes. These devices are used when isolation of the airways of one or both lungs is required.
Tracheal tubes that include bronchus blockers are excluded from the scope of this document
Anaesthetic and respiratory equipment — Nebulizing systems and components
1 Scope
This document specifies requirements for the safety and performance testing of general-purpose nebulizing systems intended for continuous or breath-actuated delivery of liquids, in aerosol form, to humans through the respiratory system.
This document includes gas-powered nebulizers (which can be powered by, e.g., compressors, pipeline systems, cylinders, etc.) and electrically powered…
