Medical electrical equipment - Part 2-90: Particular requirements for basic safety and essential performance of respiratory high-flow therapy equipment (ISO/FDIS 80601-2-90:2021)

This document applies to the basic safety and essential performance of ventilatory high-flow therapy equipment, as defined in 201.3.204, hereafter also referred to as ME equipment, in combination with its accessories:
- intended for use in the home healthcare environment;
- intended for use in professional healthcare facilities;
- intended for use by a lay operator or a healthcare professional operator;
- intended for use with patients who can breathe spontaneously;
- intended for patients who would benefit from improved alveolar gas exchange; and who would benefit from receiving high-flow humidified respiratory gases, including a patient whose upper airway is bypassed; and
EXAMPLE 1 Patients with Type 1 Respiratory Failure, which exhibits a reduction in arterial blood oxygenation or patients who would benefit from reduced work of breathing, as needed in Type 2 Respiratory Failure, where arterial carbon dioxide is high.
- not intended for patients who are dependent on artificial ventilation for their life support.
NOTE 1 In the home healthcare environment, the supply mains is often not reliable.
Ventilatory high-flow therapy equipment is typically composed of four parts:
1) gas sources,
- air, and
- if needed, oxygen;
NOTE 2 Gas sources include medical gas pipeline systems, gas cylinders, oxygen concentrators and ambient air.
2) humidifier;
NOTE 3 When dry gas is utilized, a humidifier is typically needed.
3) breathing tube;
4) a patient interface, which is used to deliver gas to the patient; and
5) a flow controller, which is used to select and deliver the desired flow.
NOTE 4 The flow controller can be at a fixed rate.
NOTE 5 The flowrate range is dependent upon the intended patient population (e.g., neonatal, paediatric and adult patients can require different flowrates).
These parts can be combined (e.g., the gas source and humidifier can be combined). Ventilatory highflow therapy equipment interfaces with the patient whose upper airway is intact via a nasal cannula or mask as well as a patient whose upper airway is bypassed via an endotracheal tube, oropharyngeal mask, or tracheostomy.
Ventilatory high-flow therapy equipment can be transit-operable.
This document is also applicable to those accessories intended by their manufacturer to be connected to the ventilatory high-flow therapy equipment, where the characteristics of those accessories can affect the basic safety or essential performance of the ventilatory high-flow therapy equipment.
EXAMPLE 2 Breathing sets, connectors, water traps, expiratory valve, humidifier, breathing system filter, external electrical power source, distributed alarm system.
This document does not specify the requirements for:
- ventilators or accessories for ventilator-dependent patients intended for critical care applications, which are given in ISO 80601 2 12;
- ventilators or accessories intended for anaesthetic applications, which are given in ISO 80601 2 13;
- ventilators or accessories intended for the emergency medical services environment, which are given in ISO 80601 2 84;
- ventilators or accessories intended for ventilator-dependent patients in the home healthcare environment, which are given in ISO 80601 2 72;
- ventilatory support equipment or accessories intended for ventilatory impairment, which are given in ISO 80601 2 79;
- ventilatory support equipment or accessories intended for ventilatory insufficiency, which are given in ISO 80601 2 80;
- sleep apnoea therapy ME equipment, which are given in ISO 80601 2 70;
- continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) ME equipment;
- high-frequency jet ventilators (HFJVs);
- high-frequency oscillatory ventilators (HFOVs), which are given in ISO 80601 2 87; and
- cuirass or "iron-lung" ventilation equipment.
NOTE 4 Ventilatory high-flow therapy equipment can be incorporated into any of the above equipment, in which case those standards would be applicable for those ventilation-modes.

97 Introduction

98 Respiratory high-flow therapy equipment has been used successfully for years with neonatal patients. In recent

99 years there is more information about treating adults with respiratory high-flow therapy equipment when it is

100 used as an intermediate therapy to improve oxygenation in adult critical care patients, respiratory care units

101 and for palliative care. The use of respiratory high-flow therapy equipment continues to increase as it is easily

102 set up and is well tolerated by patients.

103 Since the outbreak of COVID-19 in China in January of 2020, its spread has been rapid and fierce. In hospitals

104 across the world, all kinds of respiratory high-flow therapy equipment have been widely used. More and more

105 new manufacturers of respiratory high-flow therapy equipment have rapidly emerged. Neither international nor

106 national standards are available for respiratory high-flow therapy equipment. With the spread of the epidemic

107 globally, the demand for this document is clear and very urgent.

108 The first respiratory high-flow therapy equipment was constructed by the connection of a humidifier, air/oxygen

109 mixer/blender, breathing tube and cannula. Based on the improvement in technical integration in recent years,

110 there are several technical routes for respiratory high-flow therapy equipment on the market. Respiratory high-

111 flow therapy equipment is not fully covered by the existing standards for humidifiers, gas mixers for medical use

112 or ventilators.

113 This document addresses the basic safety and essential performance requirements of respiratory high-flow

114 therapy equipment, including risks related to oxygen (e.g., fires, incorrect oxygen concentration, incorrect flow

115 delivery, etc.).

116 Specifically, the following risks and related requirements were considered in the development of this document.

117 — The air entering the gas intake port by the respiratory high-flow therapy equipment might be contaminated.

118 What measures are needed to avoid or reduce the contamination of the gas pathways.

119 — The input oxygen source pressure might be unstable.

120 — When the pressure of the oxygen source is insufficient, is there an additional gas source, such as adding an

121 additional oxygen input to maintain the delivered oxygen concentration?

122 — When the oxygen concentration of the respiratory high-flow therapy equipment does not reach the set value,

123 does the respiratory high-flow therapy equipment need to generate an alarm condition?

124 — Is the respiratory high-flow therapy equipment easy to install and adjust by operators wearing multiple

125 layers of protective clothing and gloves?

126 — Are the markings and displays of the respiratory high-flow therapy equipment clear enough for operators

127 whose vision is blurred due to aerosol on their goggles?

128 — To reduce unnecessary risk of infection and reduce the burden on the operators, respiratory high-flow

129 therapy equipment needs to remain stable, reducing the need for frequent operator adjustment.

130 — For the respiratory high-flow therapy equipment used in an infected area, after one patient's use, before the

131 next patient's use or before the respiratory high-flow therapy equipment is transferred to a non-infected

132 area, the respiratory high-flow therapy equipment needs cleaning and disinfection, including the surface of

133 the enclosure and the internal gas pathways.
134 — The risk of infectious exhaled gas.

135 This publication has been drafted in accordance with the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.

136 In this document, the following print types are used:
137 — requirements and definitions: roman type;
138 — test specifications: italic type;

139 — informative material appearing outside of tables, such as notes, examples and references: in smaller type. Normative

140 text of tables is also in a smaller type.

166 Particular requirements for basic safety and essential
167 performance of respiratory high-flow therapy equipment
168 201.1 Scope, object and related standards
169 IEC 60601-1:2005+AMD1:2012+AMD2:2020, Clause 1, applies, except as follows:
170 201.1.1 * Scope
171 Replacement:

172 This document applies to the basic safety and essential performance of respiratory high-flow therapy equipment,

173 as defined in 201.3.219, hereafter also referred to as ME equipment, in combination with its accessories:

174 — intended for use with patients who can breathe spontaneously; and

175 — intended for patients who would benefit from improved alveolar gas exchange; and who would benefit from

176 receiving high-flow humidified respiratory gases, including a patient whose upper airway is bypassed.

177 EXAMPLE 1 Patients with Type 1 Respiratory Failure who exhibit a reduction in arterial blood oxygenation or

178 patients who would benefit from reduced work of breathing, as needed in Type 2 Respiratory Failure, where arterial

179 carbon dioxide is high.

180 Respiratory high-flow therapy equipment can be intended for use in the home healthcare environment or

181 intended for use in professional healthcare facilities.

182 NOTE 1 In the home healthcare environment, the supply mains is often not reliable.

183 Respiratory high-flow therapy equipment can be transit-operable.

184 This document is also applicable to those accessories intended by their manufacturer to be connected to the

185 respiratory high-flow therapy equipment, where the characteristics of those accessories can affect the basic safety

186 or essential performance of the respiratory high-flow therapy equipment.

187 EXAMPLE 2 Breathing sets, connectors, water traps, expiratory valve, humidifier, breathing system filter, external

188 electrical power source, distributed alarm system.

189 If a clause or subclause is specifically intended to be applicable to ME equipment only, or to ME systems only,

190 the title and content of that clause or subclause will say so. If that is not the case, the clause or subclause applies

191 both to ME equipment and to ME systems, as relevant.

192 Hazards inherent in the intended physiological function of ME equipment or ME systems within the scope of this

193 document are not covered by specific requirements in this document except in IEC 60601-1:2005+AMD1:2012,

194 7.2.13 and 8.4.1.

195 NOTE 2 Additional information can be found in IEC 60601-1:2005+AMD1:2012, 4.2.
