Anaesthetic and respiratory equipment - Low-pressure hose assemblies for use with medical gases, medical vacuum, medical support gases, and anaesthetic gas scavenging systems - Third Edition
 N CAN/CSA-Z5359:16

Annotation

This International Standard specifies requirements for low-pressure hose assemblies intended for use with the following medical gases:

— oxygen,

— nitrous oxide,

— medical air,

— helium,

— carbon dioxide,

— xenon,

— specified mixtures of the gases listed above,

— oxygen-enriched air,

— air for driving surgical tools,

— nitrogen for driving surgical tools, and for use with vacuum.

*It applies to hose assemblies operating at pressures up to 1 400 kPa and for vacuum systems at pressures not greater than 60 kPa absolute.

This International Standard does not specify the dimensions and allocation of the gas-specific inlet and outlet connectors for the hose assemblies.

NOTE 1 Specifications for the dimensions and allocation of diameter index safety system (DISS) connectors are specified in CGA V-5 [28].

NOTE 2 Specifications for the dimensions and allocation of sleeve indexed system (SIS) connectors are specified in AS 2896 [23].
