Preface<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is the second edition of CAN\/CSA-Z7376, Anaesthetic and respiratory equipment – Laryngoscopes for tracheal intubation, which is an adoption, with Canadian deviations, of the identically titled ISO (International Organization for Standardization) Standard 7376 (second edition, 2009-08-15). It supersedes the previous edition published in 2007 as CAN\/CSA-Z7376 (adopted ISO 376:2003).<\/p>\n

Scope<\/strong><\/p>\n

This International Standard gives general requirements for laryngoscopes used for intubation, and specifies critical dimensions for the handle and lamp of hook-on type laryngoscopes. It also addresses the interchangeability of blades and handles.<\/p>\n

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. <\/p>\n
