Bibliography

Applicable to the types of low-pressure regulators listed below and intended to be used with the following medical gases in the treatment, management, diagnostic evaluation and care of patients: - oxygen; - nitrous oxide; - medical air; - helium; - carbon dioxide; - xenon; - specified mixtures of the gases listed above; - air for driving surgical tools; - nitrogen for driving surgical tools; - oxygen-enriched air.

1.1 This part of ISO10524 applies to the types of low-pressure regulators listed in 1.2 and intended to be used with the following medical gases in the treatment, management, diagnostic evaluation and care of patients: oxygen; nitrous oxide; medical air; helium; carbon dioxide; xenon; specified mixtures of the gases listed above; air for driving surgical tools; nitrogen for driving surgical tools; oxygen-enriched air. 1.2 The types of low-pressure regulators covered by this part of ISO10524 are as follows: low-pressure regulators intended to be connected to terminal units of medical gas pipeline systems complying with ISO7396-1; low-pressure regulators with integral flow-metering devices intended to be connected to terminal units of medical gas pipeline systems complying with ISO7396-1; low-pressure regulators intended to be connected to terminal units attached to pressure regulators complying with ISO10524-1 or ISO10524-3; operator-adjustable low-pressure regulators for air or nitrogen for driving surgical tools that are an integral part of a medical gas pipeline system complying with ISO7396-1. 1.3 This part of ISO10524 does not apply to low-pressure regulators integrated within anaesthetic and respiratory equipment.
