Neural DUT
Record the device, accessory and connector-bearing component.
Neural application context
Neuraxial Connector Testing
Neural connector testing should remain distinct from Luer and other small-bore connector families. Begin with the DUT, connector side and applicable ISO 80369-6 edition, then define the controlled mating interface, functional or dimensional verification and fixture needed by the laboratory.
Application-led selection
Confirm the neural DUT interface and project edition before selecting the controlled counterpart or mechanical and leakage setup.
Typical devices and DUTs
Begin with the product being evaluated
Use the connector-bearing neural device or accessory as the starting point, while keeping its interface separate from Luer and other small-bore families.
- Neural delivery devices with defined small-bore connectors
- Associated administration accessories
- Connector-bearing devices used in neural application pathways
- Laboratory samples representing the defined mating interfaces
Connector and standard context
Keep the neural application and connector side explicit
ISO 80369-6:2025 is the current edition and specifies requirements for small-bore connectors used in neural applications. It replaced ISO 80369-6:2016.
Product selection should be based on the connector presented by the DUT and the required verification. A drawing or sample is especially useful when a legacy document still cites the withdrawn 2016 edition.
Engineering review
Questions to answer before equipment selection
Edition control matters for neural projects: drawings may still cite 2016 even though ISO 80369-6:2025 is the current published edition.
- Which neural device or accessory presents the DUT connector?
- What connector side and mating interface are required?
- Does the project cite ISO 80369-6:2025 or an older edition?
- Is the verification mating, separation, leakage or dimensional?
- How should the sample be held without disturbing the connection?
- What report or calibration scope is required?
Typical test path
From the DUT to a complete verification setup
The neural application, connector side and contractual edition lead to the reference mating item, fixture, method and evidence package.
Edition and interface
Confirm the current standard edition and tested connector side.
Reference mating item
Select the controlled counterpart for the applicable verification.
Mechanical or leakage setup
Define assembly, load, pressure and fixture conditions.
Evidence
Agree the result, calibration and documentation scope.
Verification priorities
Define the engineering requirement before the instrument
Focus selection on interface identity, controlled mating and sample restraint before assigning leakage, separation or dimensional equipment.
Connector identity
Keep neural interfaces separate from Luer and other small-bore families.
Mating and separation
Confirm the counterpart, assembly condition, load path and holding fixture.
Leakage or dimensional review
Select the method only after the connector and edition are known.
Edition control
ISO 80369-6:2025 is the current published edition
Older drawings or project documents can still cite 2016. Confirm the contractual edition before applying figures, reference components or acceptance criteria.

Configuration notes
What to confirm before requesting a quotation
Share legacy drawings early so the quotation can distinguish an edition review from the physical configuration of the supplied connector.
- Do not substitute Luer components for neural reference interfaces.
- Confirm how the sample will be aligned and restrained for mechanical testing.
- Treat edition migration as a project review item rather than assuming equivalence.
