For connection of anaesthetic and ventilator breathing systems to tracheal tubes.

This British Standard specifies requirements for catheter mounts (flexible adaptors) intended to connect anaesthetic or ventilator breathing systems to tracheal or tracheostomy tube connectors. It does not specify requirements for tracheal and tracheostomy tube connectors, these being given in BSEN1782, BSEN1282-1 and BSEN1282-2.

Typical examples of catheter mounts covered by this British Standard are shown in Figure1.

NOTE1 Recommendations for materials are given in Appendix A.

NOTE2 The titles of the publications referred to in this standard are listed on the inside back cover.
