Introduction
This document was developed because there is a need for a safe method of connecting medical equipment to a fixed medical gas piping system or Other medical gas supply systems to meet the requirement that hose assemblies conveying different gases or the same gas at different pressures cannot be interchanged.
Once the fixed medical gas pipeline is installed, it cannot be moved at will and must be used in accordance with the prescribed procedures to prevent cross mixing of medical gases.
However, in a relatively short period of use, hose assemblies are frequently connected to medical equipment and fixed gas pipelines.
Connecting and disconnecting are subject to wear, tear, misuse and abuse.
While recognizing that no system is completely safe, this document contains information to prevent foreseeable hazards arising from the use of hose assemblies.
The operator must always be alert to the possibility of damage caused by external factors. Therefore, regular inspections and maintenance are required to ensure that Ensure that the hose assembly continues to meet the requirements of this document.
This document focuses in particular on.
---Material suitability;
---Gas specificity;
---Prevent cross connection;
---clean;
---test;
---Identification;
---Information provided by the manufacturer.
ISO 17256 covers the requirements for respiratory therapy circuits and refers to ISO 80369-2 for small-bore breathing systems and drive gases.
Requirements for connectors.
In order to avoid the danger of cross-mixing between components of different gases and to facilitate the connection between components of the same gas, this this document only allows the use of NIST (non-interchangeable thread system) connectors specified in GB/T 45895.
