CSA Preface
This is the first edition of CAN/CSA-ISO 5364, Anaesthetic and respiratory equipment - Oropharyngeal airways, which is an adoption without modification of the identically titled ISO (International Organization for Standardization) Standard 5364 (fourth edition, 2008-07-15; corrected version 2009-01-15).
Scope
This International Standard specifies requirements for oropharyngeal airways of plastics materials and/or rubber, including those with a reinforcement insert made of plastics materials and/or metal.
This International Standard is not applicable to metal oropharyngeal airways, nor to requirements concerning flammability of oropharyngeal airways.
Flammability of oropharyngeal airways, for example if flammable anaesthetics, electrosurgical units or lasers are used, is a well-recognized hazard. It is addressed by appropriate clinical management, which is outside the scope of this International Standard.
This International Standard is not applicable to supralaryngeal airways without an internal, integral sealing mechanism.
