Scope
This part of YY/T 0636 specifies the safety and performance requirements for manually operated suction devices used for pharyngeal suction.
This part of YY/T 0636 applies to devices operated by foot pedal, manually, or a combination of both. Appendix A illustrates the three parts of YY/T 0636 by providing a schematic diagram of a typical system.
Manually operated suction devices are typically used outside healthcare facilities and are often described as being used in the field or during transportation. When used in these situations, extreme weather or terrain conditions may be involved. This part of YY/T 0636 also includes additional requirements for suction devices used in the field and/or during transportation.
This part of YY/T 0636 does not apply to the following:
