Breathing system filters for anaesthetic and respiratory use - Part 2: Non-filtration aspects (ISO 23328-2:2002)

ISO 23328-2:2002 specifies requirements for non-filtration aspects of breathing system filters (BSF) intended for anaesthetic and respiratory use, and addresses connection ports, leakage, resistance to flow, packaging, marking and information supplied. The test method is intended for BSF used with a clinical breathing system.
It is not applicable to other types of filter, e.g. those designed to protect vacuum sources or gas sample lines, to filter compressed gases, or to protect test equipment for physiological respiratory measurements.
A method for assessing filtration performance of BSF is given in ISO 23328-1.

Filtres pour matériel d'anesthésie et de réanimation respiratoire - Partie 2: Aspects autres que la filtration (ISO 23328-2:2002)

L'ISO 23328-2:2002 spécifie les exigences s'appliquant aux aspects autres que la filtration des filtres pour systèmes respiratoires (BSF) pour matériel d'anesthésie et de réanimation. Elle traite des orifices de raccordement, des fuites, de la résistance au débit, de l'emballage, du marquage et des informations fournies. La méthode d'essai est destinée aux BSF utilisés avec un système respiratoire clinique.
L'ISO 23328-2:2002 ne s'applique pas aux autres types de filtres, par exemple ceux conçus pour protéger les sources de vide ou les lignes de prélèvement de gaz, pour filtrer les gaz comprimés ou pour protéger le matériel d'essai utilisé pour les mesurages respiratoires physiologiques.

Overview

EN ISO 23328-2:2009 (ISO 23328-2:2002) specifies the non‑filtration aspects of breathing system filters (BSF) used in anaesthetic and respiratory care. As Part 2 of the ISO 23328 series, this standard addresses mechanical, labelling, packaging and test‑method requirements that affect safe integration of BSF into clinical breathing systems. It is a CEN-adopted European Standard and supports conformity with EU medical device requirements (see Annex ZA and Directive 93/42/EEC).

Key topics and technical requirements

  • Scope and exclusions
    • Applies to BSF intended for anaesthetic and respiratory use with clinical breathing systems.
    • Not applicable to filters for vacuum sources, gas sample lines, compressed gases, or devices used solely for physiological test equipment.
  • Connectors
    • BSF breathing system and patient connection ports must comply with ISO 5356‑1 (conical cones and sockets).
    • Accessory ports must not accept 15 mm or 22 mm conical connectors per ISO 5356‑1/2 and must be provided with means of closure.
  • Performance-related tests
    • Pressure drop (resistance to flow): measured as the pressure difference across the BSF at defined flowrates (see test clause references).
    • Gas leakage: standardized test methods for acceptable leakage limits.
    • Ambient test conditions: specified test environment - temperature (23 ± 2) °C, relative humidity (60 ± 15) % RH, pressure (96 ± 10) kPa.
  • Packaging and sterility
    • Requirements for packaging of terminally sterilized BSF reference ISO 11607 principles.
  • Marking and information
    • Mandatory marking elements, symbol use and package labelling, including single‑use designation and manufacturer information.
  • Documentation
    • Information to be supplied by the manufacturer for safe selection and clinical use.

Practical applications and users

  • Medical device manufacturers designing and producing breathing system filters (BSF) for anaesthesia, ventilation and respiratory care.
  • Quality, regulatory and compliance teams seeking to demonstrate conformity with European medical device directives (EN ISO 23328-2 helps address Essential Requirements).
  • Clinical engineers, procurement professionals and biomedical test laboratories that evaluate connector compatibility, pressure drop, leakage and packaging for hospital use.
  • Test houses implementing standardized ambient conditions and test procedures for BSF performance verification.

Related standards

  • ISO 23328‑1 - Salt test method to assess filtration performance (complements Part 2)
  • ISO 5356‑1 / ISO 5356‑2 - Conical connectors for anaesthetic and respiratory equipment
  • ISO 9360‑1 - Heat and moisture exchangers (HMEs)
  • ISO 11607 - Packaging for terminally sterilized medical devices
  • IEC 60601‑1 - Medical electrical equipment safety

EN ISO 23328-2:2009 is essential for ensuring connector compatibility, acceptable resistance to flow, leakage control, correct labelling and packaging - all critical for safe integration of breathing system filters in clinical anaesthesia and respiratory care.
