NOTE 1 - 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. NOTE 2 - The requirements for SMALL-BORE CONNECTORS intended to be used with neonatal PATIENTS to connect a cuff to a sphygmomanometer are intended to be added to this standard by an amendment or new edition. NOTE 3 - The requirements for SMALL-BORE CONNECTORS intended to be used to connect a tourniquet to its inflating equipment are intended to be added to this standard by an amendment or new edition.
