*This International Standard specifies essential requirements for breathing sets and breathing circuits intended for use with anesthesia breathing systems, ventilator breathing systems, humidifiers and nebulizers. It applies to breathing sets and breathing tubes as well as to adapters at the patient end, which are either already assembled or supplied as components for assembly according to the manufacturer's instructions. This International Standard applies to breathing sets that contain special components (e.g. water separators) between the patient end and the machine end, which are supplied already assembled. This International Standard does not apply to breathing sets and breathing tubes for special purposes. EXAMPLE 1 Ventilators with specific compliance, pressure or respiratory rate requirements. EXAMPLE 2 High Frequency Oscillation Ventilation (HFOV) or High Frequency Jet Ventilation (HFJV). EXAMPLE 3 Breathing sets and breathing tubes with special connectors for ventilation of newborns. Specifications have been included for coaxial and associated breathing sets that are bifurcated, dual lumen, or have multiple lumens, as well as breathing tubes suitable for use with patient end adapters. NOTE 1 Examples of different types of breathing sets with patient end adapters are shown in Appendix A. Requirements for exhalation valves, exhaust valves, adjustable pressure relief valves (APL valve), heat and moisture exchangers (HMEs), breathing filters and reservoir bags, if any, are not covered by this International Standard. NOTE 2 ISO 80601-2-12, ISO 80601-2-13 and ISO 9360-1 [3], ISO 23328-2 [4] and ISO 5362 [1] cover this. NOTE 3 Certain aspects of heated breathing tubes are covered in ISO 8185 [2].
