IsO 23328 consists of the following parts, under the general title Breathing system filters for anaesthetic and respiratory use: Part 1: Salt test method to assess filtration performance Part 2: Non-filtration aspects Is0 2002 - All rights reserved ISO 23328-2:2002(E) Introduction BsF are used to reduce particulates, including microorganisms, in gases delivered to and exhaled from patients. clinical use forms part of the test method, as it is possible that such exposure can influence the filtration performance of the BSF. A test method to assess filtration performance is found in ISO 23328-1. ConvriahtInternafonaiOranization for StandiardizationServe
