Small-bore connectors for liquids and gases in healthcare applications - Part 7: Connectors for intravascular or hypodermic applications (ISO 80369-7:2016)

This part of ISO 80369 specifies dimensions and requirements for the design and essential performance of SMALL-BORE CONNECTORS intended to be used on or with intravascular and hypodermic devices. This part of ISO 80369 does not specify the dimensions and requirements for the MEDICAL DEVICES or ACCESSORIES that use these CONNECTORS. Such requirements are given in particular International Standards for specific MEDICAL DEVICES or ACCESSORIES.
NOTE The LUER LOCK CONNECTOR was designed for use at pressures of the order of 300 kPa or lower. Its use in other applications can require consideration to establish its suitability. This part of ISO 80369 does not specify requirements for the following CONNECTORS which are specified in other standards:
- haemodialyser, haemodiafilter and haemofilter blood compartment ports [ISO 8637, ISO 8638]
- cardiovascular and cardiac equipment CONNECTORS [ISO 8637, ISO 8638]
- infusion system closure piercing CONNECTORS [ISO 8536-4]
NOTE Manufacturers are encouraged to incorporate the small-bore connectors specified in this part of ISO 80369 into medical devices, medical systems or accessories, even if currently not required by the relevant particular device standards. It is expected that when the relevant particular device standards are revised, requirements for small-bore connectors, as specified in this part of ISO 80369 will be included.

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.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).
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. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or
on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www.iso.org/patents).
Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not
constitute an endorsement.
For an explanation on the meaning of ISO specific terms and expressions related to conformity
assessment, as well as information about ISO’s adherence to the WTO principles in the Technical
Barriers to Trade (TBT), see the following URL: Foreword — Supplementary information.
The committee responsible for this document is ISO/TC 210, Quality management and corresponding
general aspects for medical devices, and IEC/SC62D, Electromedical equipment. The draft was circulated
for voting to the national bodies of both ISO and IEC.
This first edition of ISO 80369-7 cancels and replaces ISO 594-1:1986 and ISO 594-2:1998, clauses,
subclauses, tables, figures, and annexes of which have been consolidated and technically revised.
This part of ISO 80369 contains the following major technical revisions to ISO 594-1 and ISO 594-2.
a) New terms and definitions have been added to this part of ISO 80369 to more clearly define the
various types of luer connectors included in the scope of this part of ISO 80369. This part of
ISO 80369 more broadly describes the requirements for the connectors used for intravascular
or hypodermic applications, unlike ISO 594-1 and ISO 594-2 that are replaced by this part
of ISO 80369, which only described the requirements for the fittings (intended connection
surfaces) of these connectors. This distinction is important to define here because the previous
International Standards do not contain the terms connector or connection and ISO 80369- series
does not use the term fitting.
b) Requirements for certain dimensions not previously identified in ISO 594-1 and ISO 594-2 are
added to this part of ISO 80369 to reduce the risk of misconnections between medical devices or
accessories for different applications with the small-bore connectors that are being developed
under other parts of the ISO 80369- series. These new dimensions were selected to represent the
current design and dimensions of luer connectors in clinical use at the time this part of ISO 80369
was developed. The term “6 % (Luer) taper” used throughout the previous standards has also
been clarified to the more commonly used equivalent specified diameters separated by a specified
distance on a common axis.
c) Requirements for gauging of luer connectors made from semi-rigid materials using plug
and ring test gauges have been replaced by dimensional requirements, which are more precise
and essential for reducing the risk of misconnection with the other connectors identified in
ISO 80369-1.

d) Separate requirements for luer connectors made from semi-rigid materials and rigid
materials have been eliminated and combined as one common set of dimensions and requirements.
This consolidation of requirements was made to further reduce the risk of misconnection with
other small-bore connectors.

Introduction
This part of ISO 80369 was developed because of several incidents, with catastrophic consequences,
resulting from inappropriate medication, liquid nutritional formula or air being administered
intravenously. Many incidents have been reported leading to international recognition of the importance
of these issues and a need has been identified to develop specific connectors for medical devices and
their accessories used to deliver fluids in other applications.
The ISO 80369- series was developed to prevent misconnection between small-bore connectors
used in different applications. ISO 80369-1 specifies the requirements necessary to verify the designs
and dimensions of small-bore connectors to ensure that
a) they do not misconnect with other small-bore connectors, and
b) they safely and securely connect with their mating half.
ISO 80369-20 contains the common test methods to support the performance requirements for
small-bore connectors.
This part of ISO 80369 specifies the design and the dimensions and the drawings of small-bore
connectors intended to be used as conical fittings with a 6 % (Luer) taper for connections in
intravascular or hypodermic applications. Annex D to Annex G describe the methods by which this
design has been assessed. Other parts of ISO 80369 include requirements for small-bore connectors
used in different application categories.
connectors manufactured to the dimensions set out within this part of ISO 80369 are dimensionally
incompatible with any of the other connectors for applications identified in the ISO 80369- series of
standards for small-bore connectors, except as indicated in Annex G. If fitted to the relevant medical
devices and accessories, these connectors should reduce the risk of air, non-vascular medication
and liquid nutritional formula being delivered through an alternative route, such as intravenously or
through an airway device.
In this part of ISO 80369, the following print types are used:
— requirements and definitions: Roman type;
— informative material appearing outside of tables, such as notes, examples and references: in smaller
type. Normative text of tables is also in a smaller type;
— terms defined in Clause 3 or as noted: small capitals.
In this part of ISO 80369, the conjunctive “or” is used as an “inclusive or” so a statement is true if any
combination of the conditions is true.
The verbal forms used in this part of ISO 80369 conform to usage described in the ISO/IEC Directives,
Part 2, Annex H. For the purposes of this part of ISO 80369, the auxiliary verb:
— “shall” means that compliance with a requirement or a test is mandatory for compliance with this
part of ISO 80369;
— “should” means that compliance with a requirement or a test is recommended but is not mandatory
for compliance with this part of ISO 80369;
— “may” is used to describe a permissible way to achieve compliance with a requirement or test.
An asterisk (*) as the first character of a title or at the beginning of a paragraph or table title indicates
that there is guidance or rationale related to that item in Annex A.
