Flow-metering devices for connection to terminal units of medical gas pipeline systems (Adopted ISO 15002:2008, second edition, 2008-07-01, with Canadian deviations)
Scope:
1.1
This International Standard is applicable to:
- flow-metering devices that are connected, either directly or by means of flexible connecting assemblies, and disconnected by the operator at terminal units of a medical gas pipeline system for flow adjustment, measurement and delivery of medical gases
- flow-metering devices that are connected and disconnected by the operator at gas-specific connection points of devices such as pressure regulators
1.2
This International Standard applies to:
a) flow-metering devices intended to be used with the following medical gases:
- oxygen
- nitrous oxide
- medical air
- carbon dioxide
- oxygen/nitrous oxide mixture [50 %/50 % (by volume)]
- specified mixtures of the gases listed above
b) flow-metering devices intended to be used with the following gases
- oxygen-enriched air
- helium
- xenon
Note: Regional or national regulations might permit use of oxygen-specific connection points for oxygen-enriched air.
1.3
This International Standard does not apply to electrical or electronic flow-metering devices.
1.4
This International Standard does not apply to gases used for driving surgical tools.
