Suction catheters for use in the respiratory tract (ISO 8836:2007, corrected version 2008-03-15)

ISO 8836:2007 specifies requirements for suction catheters made of plastic materials and intended for use in suction of the respiratory tract.
Specialized suction catheters, e.g. those with more than one lumen and suction catheters without a terminal orifice, are excluded from the scope of this International Standard.
Angled-tip suction catheters (e.g. Coudé catheters) and suction catheters with aspirator collectors are not considered to be specialized and are therefore included in the scope of ISO 8836:2007.

Absaugkatheter zur Verwendung im Atemtrakt (ISO 8836:2007, korrigierte Fassung 2008-03-15)

Diese Internationale Norm legt Anforderungen an Absaugkatheter aus Kunststoffen zur Verwendung im Atem-trakt fest.
Diese Internationale Norm gilt nicht für Spezial-Absaugkatheter, z. B. Absaugkatheter mit mehr als einem Lumen oder Absaugkatheter ohne Endöffnung.
Absaug¬katheter mit abgewinkeltem Patientenende (z. B. Coudé-Katheter und Absaugkatheter mit Aspirator-Sammlern werden nicht als Spezial-Absaugkatheter betrachtet und gehören deshalb zum Anwendungs¬bereich dieser Internationalen Norm.

Sondes d'aspiration pour les voies respiratoires (ISO 8836:2007, version corrigée 2009-07-15)

L'ISO 8836:2007 spécifie les exigences pour les sondes d'aspiration constituées de matières plastiques et destinées à l'utilisation dans l'aspiration des voies respiratoires.
Les sondes d'aspiration spécialisées, par exemple celles comportant plus d'une lumière et les sondes d'aspiration sans orifice terminal, sont exclues du domaine d'application de la présente Norme internationale.
Les sondes d'aspiration à extrémité coudée (par exemple les sondes Coudé) et les sondes d'aspiration avec des collecteurs ne sont pas considérées comme étant spécialisées et elles sont donc incluses dans le domaine d'application de l'ISO 8836:2007.

ISO 8836:2007(E)
Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International
Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO8836 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC121, Anaesthetic and respiratory equipment,
Subcommittee SC 2, Tracheal tubes and other equipment.
This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition (ISO 8836:1997) certain clauses of which have been
technically revised. Suction catheters are now required to have more than one orifice, except when used in low
vacuum systems or under direct vision. Material characteristics and requirements related to suction catheters
were previously informative but are now normative to comply with the Essential Requirements of the Medical
Device Directives. They have been moved from an informative annex to normative requirements in the body of
the standard. Table 1 (colour identification) has been combined with Table 2 (metric dimensions).
This corrected version of ISO 8836 contains changes to the Normative references on page 1.
ISO 11607 has been replaced by ISO 11607-1 and ISO 11607-2. The reference in subclause 8.2.2 on page 6
has been altered.

ISO 8836:2007(E)
Introduction
This International Standard specifies dimensions and requirements for suction catheters for use in the
respiratory tract.
Size is designated by outside diameter which is important when selecting catheters because of its relationship
to the ease with which the catheter can be passed through a tracheal or tracheostomy tube (see ISO 5361 for
details of requirements for tracheal tubes and tracheostomy tubes).
Flammability of suction catheters, for example if flammable anaesthetics, electrosurgical units or lasers are
1)
used, is a well-recognised hazard that is addressed by appropriate clinical management and is outside the
scope of this International Standard.
