DIN Standards Committee Health Technologies

Overview

The standard applies to cuffed and uncuffed tracheal tubes designed for resistance to ignition by a laser. It specifies requirements for the marking of the tracheal tubes themselves, for the marking of the packaging for tracheal tubes and for the information to be provided by the manufacturer. The latter also include the specification of a standardized format for reporting the results of the laser resistance test. Compared to the August 2009 edition, revision has been carried out taking the ISO 11990 series of standards "Lasers and laser-related equipment - Determination of laser resistance of tracheal tubes" into consideration. This standard has been prepared by ISO/TC 121/SC 2 "Airways and related equipment" (secretariat: ANSI, USA) in collaboration with CEN/TC 215 "Respiratory and anaesthetic equipment" (secretariat: BSI, United Kingdom). The responsible national committee is Working Committee NA 053-03-02 AA "Medizinprodukte für das Atemwegssystem" ("Airways and related equipment") at DIN Standards Committee Rescue Services and Hospital (NARK).
