Designation:F 2002 01bStandard Terminology Relating toAnesthesia and Respiratory Equipment1This standard is issued under the fixed designation F 2002;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscript epsilon(e)indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.INTRODUCTIONConsistent use of terminology contributes to improved safety and performance of anesthetic andrespiratory care equipment by helping manufacturers,operators,and users communicate moreeffectively.It is expected that this terminology will be used on labels and markings on equipment anddocuments that accompany equipment.If other terminology is used on labels or markings onequipment or documents that accompany equipment,or both,that terminology should be defined inthe accompanying documents.1.Scope1.1 This terminology covers terms,symbols,and abbrevia-tions associated with anesthesia and respiratory care equip-ment.2.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:F 896 Specification for Flexible Fiberoptic Bronchoscopes2F 920 Specification for Minimum Performance and SafetyRequirements for Resuscitators Intended for Use withHumans2F 927 Specification for Pediatric Tracheostomy Tubes2F 960 Specification for Medical and Surgical Suction andDrainage Systems2F 965 Specification for Rigid Laryngoscopes for TrachealIntubationHook-on Fittings for Laryngoscope Handlesand Blades with Lamps2F 984 Specification for Cutaneous Gas Monitoring Devicesfor Oxygen and Carbon Dioxide2F 1054 Specification for Conical Fittings of 15-mm and22-mm Sizes2F 1100 Specification for Ventilators Intended for Use inCritical Care2F 1101 Specification for Ventilators Intended for Use Dur-ing Anesthesia2F 1161 Specification for Minimum Performance and SafetyRequirements for Components and Systems of AnesthesiaGas Machines2F 1195 Specification for Rigid Laryngoscopes for TrachealIntubationHook-on Fittings for Fiberilluminated Bladesand Handles2F 1204 Specification for Anesthesia Reservoir Bags2F 1205 Specification for Anesthesia Breathing Tubes2F 1208 Specification for Minimum Performance and SafetyRequirements for Anesthesia Breathing Systems2F 1218 Specification for Bronchoscopes(Rigid)2F 1242 Specification for Cuffed and Uncuffed TrachealTubes2F 1243 Specification for Tracheal Tube Connectors2F 1343 SpecificationforAnestheticEquipmentScavenging Systems for Anesthetic Gases2F 1415 Specification for Pulse Oximeters2F 1452 Specification for Minimum Performance and SafetyRequirements for Components and Systems of AnestheticGas Monitors2F 1456 Specification for Capnometers2F 1462 Specification for Oxygen Analyzers2F 1463 Specification for Alarm Signals in Medical Equip-ment Used in Anesthesia and Respiratory Care2F 1464 Specification for Oxygen Concentrators for Domi-ciliary Use2F 1573 SpecificationforAnestheticEquipmentOropharyngeal and Nasopharyngeal Airways2F 1590 Specification for Tracheostomy Tube Connectors2F 1627 Specification for Tracheostomy TubesPediatricTracheostomy Tubes2F 1628 Specification for Labeling and Marking of Cuffedand Uncuffed Tracheal Tubes and Related TreatmentsIntended for Use During Laser Surgery2F 1666 Specification for Adult Tracheostomy Tubes22.2Other Documents:ISO 8835-2:1993 Inhalational anaesthesia systemsPart 2:Anaesthetic circle breathing systems31This terminology is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee F29 onAnesthetic and Respiratory Equipment and is the direct responsibility of Subcom-mittee F29.16 on Terminology.Current edition approved June 10,2001.Published September 2001.Originally published as F200200.Last previous edition F200201a.2Annual Book of ASTM Standards,Vol 13.01.3Available from American National Standards Institute,25 W.43rd St.,4thFloor,New York,NY 10036.1Copyright ASTM,100 Barr Harbor Drive,West Conshohocken,PA 19428-2959,United States.ISO 9703-1:1992 AnaestheticandrespiratoryalarmsignalsPart 1:Visual alarm signals3ISO 9360:1992 Anaesthetic and respiratory equipmentHeat and moisture exchangers for use in humidifyingrespired gases in humans3ISO/FDIS 9170-2 Terminal units for medical gas pipelinesystemsPart 2:Terminal units for anaesthetic gas scav-enging systems3ISO Standards from TC 210 Quality Management andCorresponding General Aspects for Medical Devices3ISO 4135:1995 AnaesthesiologyVocabulary33.Terminology3.1 Definitions:adjustable pressure limiting valve(APL),noperator-adjustable device intended to limit the maximum pressure inan anesthesia breathing system when it is part of the flowpathway of the breathing system,by controlling the rate ofescape of gases from the system.anesthesia breathing system,nthose inspiratory and expi-ratory pathways through which gas flows at respiratorypressures between the fresh gas inlet,the patient connectionport,and the exhaust valve or port.anesthesia gas supply device,nassembly of componentsthat controls and deli
