This article continues our series on classification o<\/span>f medical devices related to respiratory therapy in Colombia, where we have covered topics like <\/span>anesthesia circuits<\/span><\/a> and <\/span>oxygen masks<\/span><\/a>. In this edition, we turn our attention to the regulatory framework for registering breathing systems with INVIMA,<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What is a Breathing System?<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

Breathing systems are specialized medical apparatuses designed to deliver oxygen and\/or air to patients requiring respiratory support. They operate in conjunction with a range of airway management devices, such as <\/span>endotracheal tubes, laryngeal masks,<\/span><\/a> nasal cannulas, and face<\/span> masks. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

These systems are essential in diverse clinical settings, including operating rooms, emergency rooms, intensive care units (ICUs), and home healthcare environments. Beyond maintaining a steady flow of respiratory gases, they also support critical physiological functions like the removal of carbon dioxide and the control of air humidity and temperature.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What are the components of a breathing system?<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n
