4.3 Rigid ventilation bronchoscopes
4.3.1 A ngid ventilation bronchoscope shall be provided wtth 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 cmH2O).
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.
4.3.2 A rigid ventilation bronchoscope shall be provided, in a side-ann, 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-fm 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.
