Scope:

This International Standard specifies basic safety and essential performance requirements for anaesthetic systems utilizing the draw-over method to provide inhalational anaesthesia.

Requirements are included to allow the use of these systems with both non-flammable and flammable anaesthetic agents.

This International Standard also includes requirements for a bellows-type manual ventilator.

NOTE 1 Requirements for automatic anaesthetic ventilators are covered by ISO 80601-2-13.

NOTE 2 Requirements for operator-powered self-inflating bags are covered by ISO 10651-4.

This International Standard does not specify requirements for monitoring of the equipment or the patient.

Project need:

To review the Standard within the required 5 year period.
