Small-bore connectors for liquids and gases in healthcare applications - Part 1: General requirements

This document specifies general interface requirements for small-bore connectors that form part of a medical device or accessory that conveys liquids or gases to a patient. This document also identifies the applications for which these small-bore connectors are intended to be used, which include, but are not limited to:
- respiratory;
- enteral;
- limb cuff inflation;
- neural;
- intravascular or hypodermic;
- other use cases utilizing an ISO 80369-7 small-bore connector.
This document provides the methodology to assess non-interconnectable characteristics of small-bore connectors based on their inherent design in order to reduce the risk of misconnections between medical devices or between accessories for different applications as specified in this document as well as those that can be developed under future parts of the ISO and IEC 80369 series.
NOTE Clause A.2 contains guidance or rationale for this Clause.

NOTE 3 Such ventilatory support equipment can also be used in professional health care facilities.
- intended for use by a lay operator;
- intended for use with patients who have ventilatory insufficiency or failure, the most fragile of which would likely experience injury with the loss of this artificial ventilation;
- intended for transit-operable use; and
- not intended for patients who are dependent on artificial ventilation for their immediate life support.
EXAMPLE 1 Patients with moderate to severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), moderate amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), severe bronchopulmonary dysplasia or muscular dystrophy.

Small-bore connectors for liquids and gases in healthcare applications - Part 2: Connectors for respiratory applications

This document specifies the design and dimensions for two small-bore connectors intended to be used for connections in respiratory applications of medical devices and accessories. One connector (R1) is intended for use on medical devices and accessories subjected to pressures up to 15 kPa (e.g. a breathing system). The other connector (R2) is intended for use on medical devices and accessories subjected to higher pressures between 15 kPa and 600 kPa (e.g. oxygen therapy tubing).
NOTE 1 The pressure is related to pressure available at the source to which the medical device is connected.
NOTE 2 The intended application does not preclude the use of other connectors on medical devices or accessories within this application.
NOTE 3 Requirements for alternative connectors for this intended application are specified in ISO 80369-1.
This document does not specify requirements for the medical devices or accessories that use these connectors. Such requirements are given in device-specific standards.
NOTE 4 If a device-specific standard does not exist, the performance and material requirements specified in ISO 80369-1 can be used as guidance.
