Anaesthetic and respiratory equipment - Laryngoscopes for tracheal intubation
| Organization: | NEN |
| Publication Date: | 1 September 2009 |
| Status: | inactive |
| ICS Code (Anaesthetic, respiratory and reanimation equipment): | 11.040.10 |
scope:
This International Standard 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.
