The Applied Technical Services Family of Companies (FoC) evaluates the performance and safety of qualities of orotracheal and nasotracheal connectors and tubes. Medical devices are an essential part of modern society, and they’re required to undergo extensive testing because the poor performance or failure of a medical device could lead to disastrous circumstances.
What is ISO 5361?
The International Organization for Standardization published ISO 5361 to establish safety requirements for tracheal tubes and connectors. The standard prioritizes the safety of end users and specifically addresses key points of concern, such as:
- Airway obstruction
- The presence of leaks
- Biocompatibility
The standard includes bend and burst tests that properly assess the tube or connectors’ susceptibility to kinking, bursting, and other hazardous conditions.
Why is It Important to Test Orotracheal and Nasotracheal Tubes?
Orotracheal and nasotracheal are very important medical devices needed to help patients breathe when they’re unable to breathe on their own. These medical devices are instrumental in saving lives so their importance cannot be understated. Third-party testing labs such as ATS, offer specialized services that allow manufacturers to rest assured knowing their products will perform as expected in real-world applications. Failure to conduct proper testing on medical devices can result in patient injury or death which leads to irreparable damage to a manufacturer or medical facility.
