scope:

NOTE See Annex A.3.

The scope of this standard is limited to Luer activated valves (LAVs) for intravascular applications, which open and permit access to the fluid conduit when a male Luer connector is inserted.

This standard applies only to the valve end of LAVs.

This standard applies to LAVs as stand-alone devices or as components of a medical device.

This standard does not address valves that are opened by a female Luer connector.

This standard does not address the connection features of the non-valve end of LAVs and/or other integrated features (e.g., stopcock handles) (Figure 1).
