EN 13544-2 Respiratory Therapy Equipment, Part 2: Standard Test for Pipes and Connectors

EUROLAB laboratory provides testing and compliance services within the scope of EN 13544-2 standard. This part of EN 13544 specifies requirements for the equipment interface, i.e. piping to be used with equipment for the therapeutic application of respirable gases in home, ambulance and hospital applications, including nipples and threaded connectors. This pipe is mainly used with oxygen, air or mixtures of these gases.

Interface specifications are provided to enable interchangeability of respiratory therapy equipment so that patients receive ongoing therapy in all these clinical situations.

Weight-bearing threaded connectors are specified for use at the outlet of flow meters to which devices such as humidifiers or nebulizers can be attached.

Respiratory therapy equipment helps patients breathe more effectively. If patients experience mechanical difficulties that make it difficult to get enough oxygen in their lungs and trachea, this should be treated immediately. In cases where respiratory assistance is required, it may be necessary to open the airway to apply oxygen. In this case, a pipe must be inserted into the trachea.

Breathing apparatus regulates the amount of oxygen the patient receives and how often the patient needs to breathe. The pipe system and fittings provide oxygen flow and oxygen concentration. It is necessary to make sure that this equipment works efficiently. Therefore, laboratory tests of the pipe system and fittings used with respiratory therapy devices are important.

Briefly, respirators provide respiratory gas mechanically to patients with respiratory dysfunction. This gas is usually enriched with oxygen and carried to the lungs with a positive pressure produced by the device.
