Abstract

This Standard gives general requirements for laryngoscopes used for intubation and specfies critical dimensions for the handle and lamp of hook-on type laryngoscopes. It also addresses the interchangeability of blades and handles. It is applicable only to instruments with an internal battery-operated power source for illuminating the larynx, since electrical safety requirements can be more stringent for instruments connected to mains or external power packs. This Standard is not applicable to surgical instruments known by the same generic name.
