These connectors are typically regulated as medical devices based on their risk level and intended use, with classification varying by jurisdiction. They are commonly supplied as part of anesthesia or respiratory care equipment sets, requiring adherence to sterilization and maintenance protocols to ensure patient safety and device functionality.
