Anaesthetic and respiratory equipment - Laryngoscopes for tracheal intubation

ISO 7376:2003 specifies general requirements for laryngoscopes and critical dimensions for the handle and lamp of hook-on type laryngoscopes. It is applicable only to instruments with an electrical power source for illuminating the larynx, since electrical safety requirements may be more stringent for instruments connected to mains or external power packs. ISO 7376:2003 is not applicable to surgical instruments known by the same generic name. ISO 7376:2003 does not apply to:-- the blade form or handle design, except for general requirements and the interchangeability aspects of the connection between the blade and the handle;-- the measurement and specification of the lamp illumination intensity;-- flexible laryngoscopes, or laryngoscopes designed for surgery;-- laryngoscopes powered from mains electricity supply;-- laryngoscopes connected by light-transmitting cables to external light sources.Instruments connected by light guides to an external light source may be subject to other International Standards for endoscopes.

Anaesthetic and respiratory equipment - Laryngoscopes for tracheal intubation

ISO 7376:2009 gives general requirements for laryngoscopes used for intubation, and specifies critical dimensions for the handle and lamp of hook-on type laryngoscopes. It also addresses the interchangeability of blades and handles. It is applicable only to instruments with an internal battery-operated power source for illuminating the larynx, since electrical safety requirements can be more stringent for instruments connected to mains or external power packs. It is not applicable to surgical instruments known by the same generic name, nor is it applicable to flexible laryngoscopes or laryngoscopes designed for surgery, laryngoscopes powered from mains electricity supply, laryngoscopes connected by light-transmitting cables to external light sources, or video laryngoscopes designed to work with an external video system.

ZOOM ON ... the Requirements department
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.
