A rigid ventilation bronchoscope shall be provided with an integral ventilation connector and an end-cap at its proximal end. Provision shall be made for insertion of endoscopes and endoscopic accessories through the end-cap. The end-cap shall not accidentally detach at an airway pressure of less than 4,0 kPa (40 cmH20).
An end-cap may incorporate a transparent window and/or may permit the insertion of an endoscope or endoscopic accessory through the opening or an airtight gasket. Removal or opening of the end-cap for accessory insertion may be achieved by the detachment, rotation or sliding of the end-cap.
A rigid ventilation bronchoscope shall be provided, in a side-arm, either with an integral ventilation connector or shall be provided with a detachable adapter which shall meet the requirements for 15 mm male conical connectors specified in ISO 5356-1 (see Figure 1). This shall not be a connector in which the internal lumen has been reduced. The ventilation connector, when fitted to the rigid ventilation bronchoscope, shall permit to-and-fro ventilation of the patient.
Adding a smaller connector to a 15 mm adapter creates a low dead-space connector. Users should be aware of the danger of using two connected low dead-space connectors, which may cause excessive flow resistance.
A ventilation connector may be located at either side of the rigid bronchoscope (see Figure 1) and may swivel around the shaft of the rigid bronchoscope.
When tested in accordance with 5.3, a jet-injector supplied with a bronchoscope shall withstand a minimum force of 20 N without becoming detached.
When tested in accordance with 5.4, the container pressure generated by a rigid jet-ventilation bronchoscope with any jet-injector provided by the manufacturer shall not exceed 6,0 kPa (60 cmH2O).
If the bronchoscopist uses jet-injectors other than those provided by the manufacturer, he/she is responsible for its function and performance.
The ventilation pressure developed by any jet-injector depends on the characteristics of the bronchoscope with which it is used or tested. Users should be aware that ventilation pressure can be greatly increased by insertion of any obstruction, e.g. an aspirator or forceps, into the lumen of the rigid bronchoscope.ISO 8600-2 pdf download.
