BS EN ISO 80369-2:2024

1   Scope This document specifies the design and dimensions for two small-bore connectors intended to be used for connections in respiratory applications of medical devices and accessories . One connector (R1) is intended for use on medical devices and accessories subjected to pressures up to 15 kPa (e.g. a breathing system ). The other connector (R2) is intended for use on medical devices and accessories subjected to higher pressures between 15 kPa and 600 kPa (e.g. oxygen therapy tubing).

    NOTE 1  The pressure is related to pressure available at the source to which the  medical device  is connected. 


    NOTE 2  The intended  application  does not preclude the use of other  connectors  on  medical devices  or  accessories  within this  application . 


    NOTE 3  Requirements for alternative connectors for this intended application are specified
     in [ISO 80369-1](/search?q=ISO%2080369-1). 

This document does not specify requirements for the  medical devices  or  accessories  that use these  connectors . Such requirements are given in device-specific standards. 

    NOTE 4  If a device-specific standard does not exist, the performance and material requirements
     specified in [ISO 80369‑1](/search?q=ISO%C2%A080369%E2%80%911) can be used as guidance.
