(Superseding IS 4154 : 1967, IS/ISO 5361 : 1999, IS 6581 : 1972 & IS 6807 : 1972)
NATIONAL FOREWORD
This Indian Standard which is identical to ISO 5361 : 2023 'Anaesthetic and respiratory equipment - Tracheal tubes and connectors' issued by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards on the recommendation of the Anaesthetic, Resuscitation and Allied Equipment Sectional Committee and approval of the Medical Equipment and Hospital Planning Division Council.
This standard supersedes IS 4154 : 1967 'Specification for endotracheal connections', IS 6581 : 1972 'Specification for endotracheal tubes (rubber)', IS 6807 : 1972 'Specification for reinforced (flexometallic) magill's endotracheal tube' and IS/ISO 5361 : 1999 'Anaesthetic and respiratory equipment - Tracheal tubes and connectors'. The ISO standard has been revised in 2023.
The text of ISO standard has been approved as suitable for publication as an Indian Standard without deviations. Certain conventions and terminologies are, however, not identical to those used in Indian Standards. Attention is particularly drawn to the following:
a) Wherever the words 'International Standard' appear referring to this standard, they should be read as 'Indian Standard'; and
b) Comma (,) has been used as a decimal marker while in Indian Standards, the current practice is to use a point (.) as the decimal marker.
