The EN 13014 standard, developed by the British Standards Institute (BSI), describes the tube connection properties and test methods of anesthetic and respiratory devices. This standard has been published in our country by the Turkish Standards Institute (TSE) with the following title: TS EN 13014 Gas samples tube connections for anesthetic and respiratory devices.
The said standard describes the manufacturing requirements, markings and dimensions for fittings in gas sampling tubes used to direct gas monitors from the respiratory system of respiratory and anesthetic equipment and to transfer gas to the anesthetic gas purification system or respiratory system. However, this standard does not include connection ports designed for the connection of sensors in the respiratory system.
The EN 13014 standard describes the requirements for the following gas sampling tube ports and fittings:
The requirements for implementing this standard are expected to be included in specific standards for certain medical devices and accessories. An important consideration is that gas sampling tube connectors are secure, but can still be removed by the operator. The EN 1707 standard includes requirements and test methods for separation force, removal torque, and air leakage. According to the EN 1707 standard, Luer lock fittings are designed for use in syringes, needles, and certain other medical equipment. To minimize the risk of incorrect connection, this standard describes the arrangement of fittings and marking requirements to identify different connectors, connection points, and tubes.
Within the scope of laboratory services, our organization also provides gas samples tube connections testing services for EN 13014 Anesthetic and respiratory devices.
