ISO 18250 Medical Connector Testing Overview
ISO 18250 medical connector test equipment is used to support verification of connectors for reservoir delivery systems in healthcare applications.
This guide brings together KingPo ISO 18250-3 reference connectors and ISO 18250-1 leakage test support so that laboratories, medical device manufacturers and procurement engineers can quickly identify related connector fixtures, mating reference parts and pressure or leakage test equipment.
The main equipment scope includes ISO 18250-3 reference connectors for enteral reservoir applications, cross port and cross reference connectors, male and female reference connectors, and the ISO 18250-1 subatmospheric pressure air leakage tester.
The page is designed as a standards-based equipment selection hub, not as a replacement for the official ISO
standards.
This page is a KingPo equipment selection and website navigation guide. Final connector dimensions, functional
performance requirements, test methods and compliance decisions should be confirmed according to the official ISO 18250-3 documents, applicable medical device standards and certification body requirements.

ISO 18250 Series and KingPo Equipment Scope
For the current DGKingPo product structure, the ISO 18250 hub should focus on two practical areas: ISO 18250-3 reference
connectors for enteral reservoir applications and ISO 18250-1 leakage or pressure test support. This keeps the page
broad enough to work as a standards hub while still matching the products already available on the website.
| ISO 18250 Part | Main Application | KingPo Page Role |
|---|---|---|
| ISO 18250-1 | General requirements and common test support for reservoir connector systems | Leakage / pressure test equipment support |
| ISO 18250-3 | Enteral reservoir connector applications | Main reference connector product group |
| Related connector standards | Small-bore connector comparison and medical device safety context | Internal links to ISO 80369-7 and IEC 60601-1 pages where applicable |
Typical ISO 18250 Connector Testing Workflow
A practical connector verification workflow may include connector identification, mating reference connector selection,
dimensional or compatibility checking, leakage or pressure testing and final documentation. The exact test method should
always be confirmed by the applicable standard and certification requirement.
Recommended KingPo ISO 18250 Equipment Checklist
The following checklist connects the current DGKingPo ISO 18250 product pages into one standards-based equipment map.
It can help buyers understand which item is used as a connector set, which item is a specific reference connector and
which item supports leakage or subatmospheric pressure testing.

ISO 18250-3 Reference Connector Selection Notes
ISO 18250-3 related connector testing is not simply a matter of buying one metal part. Buyers usually need to confirm
the connector figure, the mating direction, whether the sample is male or female, the reservoir interface, and whether
leakage or pressure testing is also required. KingPo can help match the reference connector or fixture configuration
according to the sample drawing and test purpose.
Connector Figure
Confirm whether the required connector corresponds to Figure C.2, C.3, C.4, C.5, C.6 or a complete ISO 18250-3 reference connector set.
Mating Direction
Identify whether the tested part needs a male reference connector, female reference connector or cross reference connector setup.
Leakage Requirement
If leakage or subatmospheric pressure testing is required, the connector fixture should be considered together with the ISO 18250-1 air leakage tester.

FAQ: ISO 18250 Medical Connector Test Equipment
Should this page focus on ISO 18250 or ISO 18250-3?
The hub page should use ISO 18250 because it connects the whole product group. ISO 18250-3 should remain the main
product-focused connector page because most current DGKingPo connector products are Figure C reference connectors for
enteral reservoir applications.
What products are included in the KingPo ISO 18250 equipment group?
The group includes the ISO 18250-3 reference connector set, Figure C.2 cross port reservoir reference connector,
Figure C.3 reference connector, Figure C.4 cross reference connector, Figure C.5 male reference connector, Figure C.6
female reference connector and ISO 18250-1 subatmospheric pressure air leakage tester.
Is ISO 18250 the same as ISO 80369?
No. ISO 18250 is used for reservoir delivery system connector applications, while ISO 80369 covers small-bore connector
systems for different medical applications. They are related in connector safety and misconnection prevention, but the
connector types and test purposes are different.
Do I need a reference connector set or only one Figure C connector?
It depends on the connector sample and the test purpose. Some customers need only one male or female reference connector,
while laboratories or manufacturers preparing a broader connector verification setup may need the complete ISO 18250-3
reference connector set.
When should the ISO 18250-1 air leakage tester be considered?
The ISO 18250-1 subatmospheric pressure air leakage tester should be considered when the test plan includes leakage,
pressure or sealing performance evaluation for connector-based reservoir delivery systems. The fixture configuration
should be confirmed together with the connector structure.
Can KingPo help confirm which ISO 18250 connector is needed?
Yes. KingPo can review the connector sample, drawing, mating direction, test purpose and required standard before
recommending a reference connector, connector set, adapter fixture or leakage test configuration.
Need Help Building an ISO 18250 Connector Test Setup?
KingPo can help laboratories and medical device manufacturers select ISO 18250-3 reference connectors, Figure C connector
fixtures and ISO 18250-1 air leakage test equipment according to the sample structure, test purpose and required standard.
