Scope:

This International Standard specifies requirements for low-pressure hose assemblies intended for use with the following medical gases:

 oxygen

nitrous oxide

medical air

helium

carbon dioxide

xenon

specified mixtures of the gases listed above

oxygen-enriched air

air for driving surgical tools

nitrogen for driving surgical tools

and for use with vacuum.

1.2

*It applies to hose assemblies operating at pressures up to 1 400 kPa and for vacuum systems at pressures not greater than 60 kPa absolute.

Project need:

ISO/TC 121 covers standardization of anaesthetic and respiratory equipment and supplies, related devices and supply systems - key equipment and systems used in the perioperative setting. Adopted ISO standards provide an important component of the perioperative safety portfolio and are intended to cover: - administration of anaesthetic agents and medical gases to a patient, - conveying the correct anaesthetic agents and medical gases to a device or a patient, - conducting excess and expired gases safely away from a patient and operating room staff, - monitoring a patient undergoing treatment, - respiratory therapy and care.
