Scope:

This International Standard specifies requirements for peak expiratory flow meters (PEFMs) intended for the assessment of pulmonary function in spontaneously breathing humans.

This International Standard covers all devices that measure peak expiratory flowrate in spontaneously breathing humans either as part of an integrated lung function device or as a stand-alone device.

Planning and design of products applying to this International Standard should consider the environmental impact from the product during its life cycle. Environmental aspects are addressed in Annex E.

NOTE Additional aspects of environmental impact are addressed in ISO 14971

Project need:

To prepare International standards for the equipment used to administer anaesthetic agents to patients, the equipment used to convey the correct anaesthetic agents and medical gases to the device or the patient at controlled flow and pressure and to conduct excess and expired gases safely away from the patient and operating room staff, equipment to monitor the patient undergoing treatment and equipment for use in respiratory therapy and care
