Breathing tubes intended for use with anaesthetic apparatus and ventilators

This European Standard specifies the basic requirements for breathing tubes and breathing tubing supplied to be cut to length, intended for use with anaesthetic apparatus and ventilators, humidifiers and nebulizers. It also applies to breathing tubes and Y-pieces supplied already assembled and to those supplied as components and assembled in accordance with the manufacturers' instructions.
Provision is made for breathing tubes having ends incorporating adaptors with conical connectors (assembled ends) or with plain ends (either cylindrical or tapered).
Breathing tubes for special purposes, such as those used with ventilators having special compliance requirements and coaxial lumen tubes, are outside the scope of this European Standard.
Unless specified otherwise, the requirements of this European Standard apply equally to breathing tubes intended by the manufacturer for single use and those intended for re-use.

Atemschläuche zur Verwendung mit Anästhesie- und Beatmungsgeräten

Diese Europäische Norm legt Grundanforderungen an Atemschläuche einschließlich der vor Gebrauch auf
Länge zuzuschneidenden Schläuche fest, die zur Verwendung mit Anästhesiegeräten, Beatmungsgeräten,
Anfeuchtern und Verneblern bestimmt sind. Sie gilt auch für Atemschläuche und Y-Stücke, die entweder
bereits montiert oder als Einzelteile geliefert werden, die nach den Anweisungen des Herstellers zusammenzusetzen
sind.
Berücksichtigt werden Atemschläuche, in deren Enden Adapter mit konischen Verbindungsstücken eingebaut
sind (konfektionierte Enden) wie auch Schläuche mit glatten (zylindrischen oder konischen) Enden.
Diese Norm gilt nicht für Atemschläuche für spezielle Zwecke, wie z. B. für Beatmungsgeräte mit speziellen
Anforderungen an die Compliance und Tuben mit koaxialem Lumen.
Sofern nicht anders festgelegt, gelten die Anforderungen dieser Europäischen Norm sowohl für
Atemschläuche zum Einmalgebrauch, als auch für Atemschläuche, die zur Wiederverwendung bestimmt sind.
