Enersol S15A Connector Assembly Device

ENERSOL S15A CONNECTOR ASSEMBLY DEVICE for ISO 80369-20

NOTE:
ISO 594 has been rescinded and replaced by ISO 80369-7. Because of the change from ISO 594 into ISO 80369-7; all tests per ISO 594/1 and ISO 594-2 should now be switched to tests per ISO 80369-7 (ISO 80369-20).

NOTE:
Enersol Model S15A Connector Assembly Device is no longer available for purchase. Replacement is Enersol's Model S15B Connector Assembly Device. The new S15B has the same capabilities as the S15A with the addition of expanded options.

NOTE:
Enersol is not offering an upgrade service for converting the S15A into the new S15B. There have been changes to the base machine design which inhibits any upgrade operation.

IF YOUR COMPANY OWNS THE ENERSOL MODEL S15A:

This machine is not completely out of date. The Enersol Model S15A Connector Assembly Device is designed to meet the MIN/MAX ISO 80369-20 requirements. New specifications are being published which supplant the ISO 80369-20 Force/Torque requirements with different values for specific applications. Because expanded capability was required, the new Enersol Model S15B Connector Assembly Device was released. When conducting testing, if alternate Force/Torque requirements exist, you will locate these alternate values in Clause 6 of the connector root specificaion.

Connector Assembly Device
The Enersol Connector Assembly Device (S15A) is the core equipment required for all of the ISO 80369-20 specified tests. The device is used to apply a force and torque simultaneously when connecting a reference connector with a test sample. The device can also be used to apply a specified force only or torque only, as required.

The Enersol connector assembly device is made from aluminum and hardened steel. The device has a durable and attractive anodized finish. The device has been designed to be compact and easy to use, with no other requirements like an electrical supply or compressed air, etc.

The Connector Assembly Device is an integral part of small bore connector (Luer, Neuraxial, Enteral), needle and syringe testing. It is used to assemble reference connectors to samples under test, and it is also used for the resistance to overriding test. It can also be used to assemble needle hubs with syringes for tests in ISO 8537. Known axial and side weights are required for preparation and testing of samples and these weights are supplied with the device.

The Connector Assembly Device is used for preparing samples for tests such as leakage by pressure decay, positive pressure liquid leakage, sub-atmospheric pressure air leakage, stress cracking, resistance to separation from unscrewing, resistance to overriding and disconnection by unscrewing.

Uses for the Connector Assembly Device (S15A)

The Enersol Connector Assembly Device (S15A) is used to for the assembly of a reference connector and test sample. It does so by applying a known force and torque simultaneously in accordance with the requirements of ISO 80369-20:2015. It is also used to apply a torque only, as required by the resistance to overriding test in ISO 80369-20:2015 Annex H.

Below is a list of tests which are best accomplished by using the Enersol Connector Assembly Device (S15A).

ISO 80369-20 Annex B through to Annex I

The S15A is used to assemble reference connectors with test samples for each and all of these annexes in the Small-bore connectors for liquids and gases in healthcare applications standard (ISO 80369-20). Reference connectors are required and sold separately. The following reference connectors are required:
