This International Standard contains the essential performance and safety requirements for orotracheal and nasotracheal tubes and tracheal tube connectors. Tracheal tubes with metal or nylon reinforced walls, tracheal tubes with shoulders, conical tracheal tubes, tracheal tubes with suction, monitoring or drug or other gas delivery capabilities, and the many other types of specialty tracheal tubes are included in this International Standard because numerous Special tracheal tubes are commonly used today and all have similar basic requirements in accordance with this International Standard. Endobronchial tubes (including tracheobronchial tubes), tracheostomy tubes and supralaryngeal airway devices are excluded from the scope of this International Standard. Tracheal tubes intended for use with flammable anesthetic gases or agents and lasers or electrosurgical devices are not covered by this International Standard.
