ISO 80369-3:2016 Connectors for enteral applications

What is the ISO 80369-3 standard?

The ISO 80369-3 standard covers the whole enteral system, except reservoir connectors which is covered by ISO18250-2. This part of ISO 80369 includes the interface dimensions and requirements for the design and functional performance of small-bore connectors for use on enteral medical devices and accessories.

Performance testing of ISO 80369-3 connectors

The ISO 80369-3 standard includes performance tests following the methods of the ISO 80369-20 standard. Enersol has the reference connectors and the test equipment needed for the performance tests (ISO 80369-20).

Enersol can supply its reference connectors and test equipment, or for early stage testing/small lot testing this can be performed by Enersol in its ISO 17025 accredited laboratory.

On request, reference connectors can be made to order with threads other than M5 either internal or external, as requested. Alternatively, adapters can be supplied to convert to a different thread type.

Reference connectors that are used for leakage tests are shipped with push-in fittings for use with 4mm hoses, making them fast and easy to use with Enersol testing equipment.

Provided with the reference connectors are individual display boxes and long-form calibration certificates by an ISO 17025 accredited calibration laboratory (at no extra cost or lead).
