ISO 80369-2:2024

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.

To comply with a standard, you need to quickly understand its issues in order to determine its impact on your activity.

The Requirements department helps you quickly locate within the normative text:
- mandatory clauses to satisfy,
- non-essential but useful clauses to know, such as permissions and recommendations.

The identification of these types of clauses is based on the document “ISO / IEC Directives, Part 2 - Principles and rules of structure and drafting of ISO documents ”as well as on a constantly enriched list of verbal forms.
