While many major clinical trials validate the use of current commercial cuffed paediatric tracheal
tubes,[12][lll[14] others reported adverse events and point to the lack of a convention among
manufactured designs.tl5ltf6t fhe dimension C in Table la for sizes 3,0 to 4,5 are those developed by
consensus among participants in the systematic review of ISo 5361.
5J - Materials
Although material biocompatibility is important for all tracheal tubes and other airways, it was
considered of special importance for tubes that might remain in situ for weeks. Anaesthetic agents
would not be in contact with the tube marking materials for such long periods of time, but these agents
might be damaging to marking materials.[Z]
5,4.2 Bevel
-
The committee understood that other bevel configurations may be not change the
existing recommendation for a left-facing bevel because it was believed t{provide i d usabilitv
and clearer visibility of the vocal cords during intubation.

59 - Kink resistance
Tracheal tube kinking and collapse is commonly associated with the risk of increased work of
breathing and hypoxia even in patients that are mechanically ventilated. Tracheal tube kinking and
collapse is also commonly associated with difficulties in inserting and removing bronchoscopes or
suction catheters' The kink resistance measurement employed in this test is similar to that in Anne.r C.

For cuffed tubes intended for re-use, information about the cuff diameter is required
to be marked on
the-package or insert, but not on the tube itself. This is because re-use may alter
the elastic properties,
and, thereby, the cuff diameter.
To provide a tracheal seal, the cuff shouid be designed with sufficient diameter and volume to minimize
.o*p"nsit. for of varying sizes, 2) dilation of the

*Test method for tracheal seal
G.1 Principle
This test method is designed to determine the leakage rates at cuff pressures not 27 hPa
(27 cmH2O) for the minimum and maximum trachea diameters in which the designa tube
size is intended to be used. The performance information using this bench test to
provide a comparison of the sealing characteristics of tracheal tube cuffs on y setting

between the tip of tracheal tube under test and the math iFtracheal tube cuff plus a
minimum of 10 cm. The inside diameters of the transparent be equivalent to the maximum
and minimum diameters of the trachea in which the trachd test is intended for use.

aligns the tip of the tracheal tube with the bottom edge of the transparent cylinder; thereby providing
a minimum of 10 cm distance between the machine end of the inflated cuff and the top edge of the
transparent cylinder. Inflate the cuff with air at the test inflation pressure no greater than 27 hPa
(27 cmH2O).
G.3.3 Condition the tracheal tube and transparent cylinder within a water bath maintained between
