Anaesthetic and respiratory equipment - Tracheal tubes and connectors (ISO 5361:2016)

This International Standard provides essential performance and safety requirements for oro-tracheal
and naso-tracheal tubes and tracheal tube connectors. Tracheal tubes with walls reinforced with
metal or nylon, tracheal tubes with shoulders, tapered tracheal tubes, tracheal tubes with means for
suctioning, monitoring or delivery of drugs or other gases, and the many other types of tracheal tubes
devised for specialized applications are included in this International Standard, as many specialized
tracheal tubes are now commonly used, and all share similar essential requirements as defined in this
International Standard.
Endobronchial (including tracheobronchial) tubes, tracheostomy tubes, and supralaryngeal airways
are excluded from the scope of this International Standard.
Tracheal tubes intended for use with flammable anaesthetic gases or agents, lasers, or electrosurgical
equipment are outside the scope of this International Standard.

Anästhesieund Beatmungsgeräte - Trachealtuben und Verbindungsstücke (ISO 5361:2016)

Diese Internationale Norm enthält die grundlegenden Leistungs- und Sicherheitsanforderungen an Orotracheal- und Nasotrachealtuben und an Verbindungsstücke für Trachealtuben. Trachealtuben mit durch Metall oder Nylon verstärkter Wand, Trachealtuben mit Schultern, konische Trachealtuben, Trachealtuben mit Möglichkeiten zum Absaugen, zum Überwachen oder zur Zufuhr von Medikamenten oder sonstigen Gasen und die zahlreichen anderen Arten von Trachealtuben für Spezialanwendungen wurden in diese Internationale Norm aufgenommen, da zahlreiche Spezial-Trachealtuben heutzutage häufig verwendet werden und für alle ähnliche grundlegende Anforderungen entsprechend dieser Internationalen Norm gelten.
Tracheobronchialtuben (Endobronchialtuben), Tracheostomietuben und supralaryngeale Atemwege sind vom Anwendungsbereich dieser Internationalen Norm ausgenommen.
Trachealtuben, die für die Anwendung mit brennbaren Anästhesiegasen oder -mitteln sowie Laser oder elektrochirurgischen Geräten bestimmt sind, sind nicht durch diese Internationale Norm abgedeckt.

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).

Introduction
This International Standard provides the essential performance and safety requirements for the design
of tracheal tubes and tracheal tube connectors. Tracheal tubes are intended to be inserted through
the larynx into the trachea to provide a patent airway in patients during spontaneous, assisted or
controlled ventilation for short or prolonged durations to convey gases and vapours to and from the
trachea.
In addition, tracheal tubes with cuffs are intended to seal and protect the trachea from aspiration.
A variety of cuff designs are available to meet particular clinical requirements. Cuff performance
requirements with associated test methods remain unchanged from the second edition.
Requirements for paediatric tracheal tubes, with and without cuffs, have been updated from the
second edition to include revised length marks and new provisions for glottic depth marks have been
added in this edition because these are commercially available and in common use.
Tracheal tubes are also intended to conform as closely as possible to human anatomy when in position.
Clinical considerations have also dictated the specified length of tracheal tubes because long tracheal
tubes, sometimes of relatively narrow diameter, may be required and, therefore, should be readily
available. Provision has also been included for pre-cut tracheal tubes.
Kink resistance requirements with associated test methods remain unchanged from the second edition
to measure the ability of the shaft of the tracheal tube to resist collapse and increased breathing
resistance when bent or curved.
Radiopacity requirements and test methods remain unchanged from the second edition to characterize
the visibility of tracheal tubes in X-rays used to determine proper placement of the tube. The
requirements of this International Standard were developed using the hazard identification for risk

Foreword
1 ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
2 (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
3 technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
4 established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
5 non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the
6 International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
7 International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
8 The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
9 adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
10 International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
11 Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
12 rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
13 ISO 5361 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 121, Anaesthetic and respiratory equipment,
14 Subcommittee SC 2, Airways and related equipment.
15 This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition (ISO 5361:2012), which has been technically
16 revised.
17 Major changes in this International Standard are highlighted in a BLUE box during the Enquiry phase only.
18 These highlights will be removed during the approval and publication phases.
19 Throughout this Particular Standard, terms defined in Clause 3 or in ISO 4135 appear in bold type.
20 Throughout this Particular Standard, text for which a rationale is provided in Annex A is indicated by an
21 asterisk (*).
22 The attention of Member Bodies and National Committees is drawn to the fact that equipment
23 MANUFACTURERS and testing organizations may need a transitional period following publication of a new,
24 amended or revised ISO or IEC publication in which to make products in accordance with the new
25 requirements and to equip themselves for conducting new or revised tests. It is the recommendation of the
26 committee that the content of this publication not be adopted for mandatory implementation nationally earlier
27 than 3 years from the date of publication for equipment newly designed and not earlier than 5 years from the
28 date of publication for equipment already in production.

29 Introduction
30 This International Standard provides the essential performance and safety requirements for the design of
31 tracheal tubes and tracheal tube connectors. Tracheal tubes are intended to be inserted through the
32 larynx into the trachea to convey gases and vapours to and from the trachea.
33 Tracheal tubes with cuffs are intended to seal and protect the trachea from aspiration of secretions and to
34 provide an unobstructed airway in patients during spontaneous, assisted, or controlled ventilation for short or
35 prolonged durations.
36 A variety of cuff designs are available to meet particular clinical requirements. Cuff performance requirements
37 with associated test methodsremain unchanged from the second editoin.
38 Requirements for paediatric tracheal tubes with and without cuffs, have been have been updated from the
39 second edition to include revised length marks and new provisions for glottic depth marks have been added
40 in this edition because these are commercially available and in common use.
41 Tracheal tubes are also intended to conform as closely as possible to human anatomy when in position.
42 Clinical considerations have also dictated the specified length of tracheal tubes because long tracheal
43 tubes, sometimes of relatively narrow diameter, may be required and therefore should be readily available.
44 Provision has also been included for pre-cut tracheal tubes.
45 Kink resistance requirements with associated test methods remain unchanged from the second edition, to
46 measure the ability of the shaft of the tracheal tube to resist collapse and increased breathing resistance
47 when bent or curved.
48 Radiopacity requirements and test methods remain unchanged from the second edition, to characterize the
49 visibility of tracheal tubes in X-rays used to determine proper placement of the tube. The requirements of this
50 International Standard were developed using the hazard identification for risk assessment in Annex F.

219 This International Standard specifies requirements that are generally applicable to risks associated with
220 tracheal tubes and tracheal tube connectors.
221 4.1 Risk assessment
222 4.1.1 An established risk assessment process shall be applied to the design of the device.
223 EXAMPLE ISO 14971.
224 Check compliance by inspection of the risk management file. If clinical studies are performed, these studies
225 shall document measurements taken during the conditions for which performance is claimed. The clinical
226 studies shall comply with the requirements of ISO 14155.
227 NOTE See Annex F.
228 4.1.2 Tracheal tubes shall, when transported, stored, installed, operated in normal use and maintained
229 according to the instructions of the manufacturer, present no risks that are not reduced to an acceptable level
230 using risk management procedures in accordance with ISO 14971 and which are connected with their
231 intended application, in normal and in single fault condition.
232 NOTE A situation in which a fault is not detected is considered a normal condition. Fault conditions/hazardous
233 situations might remain undetected over a period of time and, as a consequence, might lead to an unacceptable risk. In
234 that case, a subsequent detected fault condition needs to be considered as a single fault condition. Specific risk control
235 measures need to be determined within the risk management process to deal with such situations.

236 4.1.3 Where requirements in this International Standard refer to freedom from unacceptable risk, the
237 acceptability or unacceptability of this risk shall be determined by the manufacturer in accordance with the
238 manufacturer’s policy for determining acceptable risk.
239 Check compliance by inspection of the risk management file.
240 4.1.4 If required by a competent authority, the manufacturer shall address in a usability engineering process
241 the risk resulting from poor usability (see IEC 62366).
242 Check compliance by inspection of the usability engineering file.
243 4.1.5 If required by a competent authority, a clinical evaluation shall be performed and documented in the
244 technical documentation of the device.
245 Check compliance by inspection of the technical documentation.
246 4.1.6 If required by a competent authority, and where appropriate, validated biophysical or modelling
247 research shall be carried out.
248 Check compliance by inspection of the technical documentation.
249 4.2 Safety
250 *4.2.1 Tracheal tubes, when transported, stored, installed, operated in their normal intended use, and
251 maintained according to the instructions of the manufacturer, shall minimize safety hazards which could
252 reasonably be foreseen to occur, in normal and single-fault conditions.
253 Check compliance by inspection of the risk management file.
254 NOTE Attention is drawn to any intended use that may deviate from the currently accepted medical practice. See
255 Annex A for examples.
256 4.2.2 The manufacturer may use type tests different from those detailed within this International Standard, if
257 an equivalent degree of safety is obtained. Alternative test methods shall be validated against the test
258 methods specified in this International Standard.
259 5 Specific requirements for tracheal tubes and tracheal tube connectors
260 5.1 Size designation
261 The size of tracheal tubes and tracheal tube connectors shall be designated in accordance with Table 1a
262 for tracheal tubes, Table 1b for Cole-type tracheal tubes, and Table 2 for tracheal tube connectors.
