This Standard specifies safety and performance requirements for ancillary devices for expired air resuscitation of adults and children without intubation of the trachea. The Standard also covers overlays which are similar to faceshields but are not intended for use on humans, although intended for simulated expired air resuscitation on manikins.Devices which have short airways intended to lie on the tongue but not reach the pharynx are not included as they are less likely than oropharyngeal airways to achieve a clear airway but may produce similar complications. Devices designed for oesophageal intubation are not included because of the severity of the complications which may attend their use. Laryngeal masks and combined pharyngeal-tracheal airways are not included because studies which evaluate their efficacy for expired air resuscitation in emergency settings have not yet been concluded.
