1 This International Standard specifies requirements for low-pressure hose assemblies intended for use with the following medical gases:
— oxygen;
— nitrous oxide;
— air for breathing;
— helium;
— carbon dioxide;
— xenon;
— specified mixtures of the gases listed above;
— air for driving surgical tools;
— nitrogen for driving surgical tools;
— nitric oxide/nitrogen mixtures;
— vacuum.
It is intended in particular to ensure gas-specificity and to prevent cross-connection between systems conveying different gases.
These hose assemblies are intended to be used at pressures less than 1 400 kPa.
2 This International Standard specifies the allocation of non-interchangeable screw-threaded (NIST) connectors and diameter-index safety system (DISS) connectors to medical gases and specifies the dimensions of non-interchangeable screw-threaded (NIST) connectors.
3 This International Standard does not specify:
— requirements for coaxial hoses used for the supply and disposal of air for driving surgical tools;
— requirements for electrical conductivity.
4 This International Standard does not specify the intended uses of hose assemblies.
NOTE Some examples of intended use specified in other International Standards are as follows:
a) between a terminal unit and medical equipment (ISO 9170-1, ISO 8835-1, ISO 10651-1);
b) between the fixed pipeline system and a terminal unit of that system (ISO 7396-1, ISO 11197);
c) between a terminal unit and a second terminal unit (ISO 7396-1);
d) between an emergency supply and an emergency and maintenance inlet point of a pipeline system (ISO 10524, ISO 7396-1);
e) between an emergency supply and medical equipment (ISO 10524, ISO 8835-1, ISO 10651-1).
