Laryngoscopic fittings; Part 2 : Miniature electric lamps; Screw threads and sockets

This document specifies technical requirements for miniature electric lamps used in laryngoscopes, focusing specifically on the design of screw threads and their corresponding sockets. It establishes uniform standards to ensure compatibility and safety between different lamp units and laryngoscope handles. The scope covers dimensional tolerances, electrical characteristics, and mechanical fit necessary for reliable operation in medical procedures involving airway visualization. These specifications aim to facilitate the interchangeability of components across various manufacturers, thereby supporting the maintenance and availability of diagnostic equipment. By defining consistent interface parameters, the text helps prevent operational failures that could arise from mismatched parts. The content addresses both the geometry of the connector and the performance criteria under intended usage conditions, ensuring that electrical connections remain secure during routine clinical examinations. This standardized approach promotes quality control within the medical device sector by providing clear guidelines for production and testing. Adherence to these parameters supports the development of durable and efficient medical instruments designed for professional healthcare environments.
