Tracheal tubes with walls reinforced with metal or nylon, tracheal tubes with shoulders, tapered tracheal tubes, tracheal tubes with means for suctioning or monitoring or delivery of drugs or other gases, and the many other types of tracheal tubes devised for specialized applications are included in this International Standard, as many specialized tracheal tubes are now commonly used, and all share similar essential requirements as defined in this International Standard. Tracheobronchial (endobronchial) tubes, tracheostomy tubes and supralaryngeal airways are excluded from the scope of this International Standard. Tracheal tubes intended for use with flammable anaesthetic gases or agents, lasers or electrosurgical equipment are outside the scope of this International Standard.
