ISO 80369-24: Small-Bore Connectors for Liquids in Healthcare Applications
ISO 80369 evaluates the functionality of small-bore connectors for liquids and gases in healthcare applications. These connectors, are universally used in medical applications to ensure that medical products such as syringes and catheters will reliably connect with one another, regardless of the manufacturer.
These devices are critical for ensuring that patients receive appropriate treatments, such as the delivery of medication or the withdrawal of bodily fluids. Any failure in the device connector could cause dangerous complications: this can include the contamination of medication or the inability to make a secure connection between devices. Their widespread use across different medical fields makes ISO 80369 one of the most tested standards by manufacturers.
