Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the

Biocompatibility evaluation of breathing gas pathways in healthcare applications - Part 1: Evaluation and testing within a risk management process (ISO 18562-1:2024)
SIST EN ISO 18562-1:2024

This document specifies:
—     the general principles governing the biological evaluation within a risk management process of the gas pathways of a medical device, its parts or accessories, which are intended to provide respiratory care or supply substances via the respiratory tract to a patient in all environments;
—     the general categorization of gas pathways based on the nature and duration of their contact with the gas stream;
—     the evaluation of existing relevant data from all sources;
—     the identification of gaps in the available data set on the basis of a risk analysis;
—     the identification of additional data sets necessary to analyse the biological safety of the gas pathway;
—     the assessment of the biological safety of the gas pathway.
This document covers general principles regarding biocompatibility assessment of medical device materials, which make up the gas pathway, in normal use and normal condition. This document does not cover biological hazards arising from mechanical damage.
The other parts of ISO 18562 cover specific tests that address potentially hazardous substances that are added to the respirable gas stream and establish acceptance criteria for these substances.
This document addresses potential contamination of the gas stream arising from the gas pathways within the medical device, which might then be conducted to the patient.
This document applies over the expected lifetime of the medical device when operated according to the instructions for use. This includes degradation arising from exposure to environmental conditions as well as cleaning, disinfection and sterilisation (i.e. processing). It also includes user action or inaction (omission) that leads to an unintended or unexpected outcome (result) (i.e. use error). It does not include conscious/intentional action or inaction that violates the instructions for use and is beyond reasonable risk control by the manufacturer (i.e. abnormal use).
This document does not address biological evaluation of the surfaces of medical devices that have direct contact with the patient or user. The requirements for direct contact surfaces are found in the ISO 10993 series.
Medical devices, parts or accessories containing gas pathways that are addressed by this document include, but are not limited to, ventilators, anaesthesia workstations (including gas mixers), breathing systems, oxygen conserving equipment, oxygen concentrators, nebulizers, low-pressure hose assemblies, humidifiers, heat and moisture exchangers, respiratory gas monitors, respiration monitors, masks, medical respiratory personal protective equipment, mouth pieces, resuscitators, breathing tubes, breathing system filters and Y-pieces as well as any breathing accessories intended to be used with such medical devices. The enclosed chamber of an incubator, including the mattress, and the inner surface of an oxygen hood are considered to be gas pathways and are also addressed by this document.
This document does not address contamination already present in the gas supplied from the gas sources while medical devices are in normal use.
EXAMPLE            Contamination arriving at the medical device from gas sources such as medical gas pipeline systems (including the non-return valves in the pipeline outlets), outlets of pressure regulators connected or integral to a medical gas cylinder, or room air taken into the medical device is not addressed by ISO 18562 (all parts).

Biocompatibility evaluation of breathing gas pathways in healthcare applications - Part 2: Tests for emissions of particulate matter (ISO 18562-2:2024)
SIST EN ISO 18562-2:2024

This document specifies tests for the emissions of particulate matter from the gas pathways of a medical device, its parts or accessories, which are intended to provide respiratory care or supply substances via the respiratory tract to a patient in all environments. The tests of this document are intended to quantify particles from 0,25 µm diameter to 10 µm diameter that are emitted by the medical device, its parts or accessories into the respirable gas stream. This document establishes acceptance criteria for these tests.
This document does not address nanoparticles. Insufficient data exist to establish exposure limits for particles less than 0,25 µm diameter.
This document does not address particles larger than 10 µm diameter. These particles are deposited in the nasal cavity. Additional information can be needed for medical devices or accessories that bypass the nose. This is outside the scope of this document but can be required by some authorities having jurisdiction.
This document therefore adopts the same approach as the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in setting limits based solely on particle size and not their chemistry.
This document addresses potential contamination of the gas stream arising from the gas pathways, which is then conducted to the patient.
This document applies over the expected lifetime of the medical device in normal use and takes into account the effects of any intended processing.
This document does not address biological evaluation of the particles that are deliberately released by a nebulizer (i.e. the therapeutic agent).
This document does not address biological evaluation of the surfaces of gas pathways that have direct contact with the patient. The requirements for direct contact surfaces are found in the ISO 10993 series.
Medical devices, parts or accessories, containing gas pathways that are addressed by this document, include, but are not limited to, ventilators, anaesthesia workstations (including gas mixers), breathing systems, oxygen conserving devices, oxygen concentrators, nebulizers, low-pressure hose assemblies, humidifiers, heat and moisture exchangers, respiratory gas monitors, respiration monitors, masks, medical respiratory personal protective equipment, mouth pieces, resuscitators, breathing tubes, breathing systems filters, Y-pieces, and any breathing accessories intended to be used with such devices.

Medical electrical equipment - Part 2-80: Particular requirements for basic safety and essential performance of ventilatory support equipment for ventilatory insufficiency (ISO 80601-2-80:2024)
SIST EN ISO 80601-2-80:2024

NOTE 1       There is guidance or rationale for this subclause contained in Clause AA.2.
This document applies to the basic safety and essential performance of ventilatory support equipment, as defined in 201.3.302, for ventilatory insufficiency, as defined in 201.3.302, hereafter also referred to as ME equipment, in combination with its accessories:
—    intended for use in the home healthcare environment;
NOTE 2     In the home healthcare environment, the supply mains driving the ventilatory support equipment is often not reliable.
NOTE 3     Such ventilatory support equipment can also be used in professional health care facilities.
—    intended for use by a lay operator;
—    intended for use with patients who have ventilatory insufficiency or failure, the most fragile of which would likely experience injury with the loss of this artificial ventilation;
—    intended for transit-operable use; and
—    not intended for patients who are dependent on artificial ventilation for their immediate life support.
EXAMPLE 1        Patients with moderate to severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), moderate amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), severe bronchopulmonary dysplasia or muscular dystrophy.
Ventilatory support equipment is not considered to use a physiologic closed-loop control system unless it uses a physiological patient variable to adjust the artificial ventilation therapy settings.
This document is also applicable to those accessories intended by their manufacturer to be connected to the ventilator breathing system of ventilatory support equipment for ventilatory insufficiency, where the characteristics of those accessories can affect the basic safety or essential performance of the ventilatory support equipment for ventilatory insufficiency.
EXAMPLE 2        Breathing sets, connectors, water traps, expiratory valve, humidifier, breathing system filter, external electrical power source, distributed alarm system.
If a clause or subclause is specifically intended to be applicable to ME equipment only, or to ME systems only, the title and content of that clause or subclause will say so. If that is not the case, the clause or subclause applies both to ME equipment and to ME systems, as relevant.
Hazards inherent in the intended physiological function of ME equipment or ME systems within the scope of this document are not covered by specific requirements in this document except in IEC 60601‑1:2005+AMD1:2012+AMD2:2020, 7.2.13 and 8.4.1.
NOTE 4       Additional information can be found in IEC 60601‑1:2005+AMD1:2012+AMD2:2020, 4.2.
NOTE 5       See ISO/TR 21954 for guidance on the selection of the appropriate ventilator for a given patient. 
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;

NOTE 1       There is guidance or rationale for this subclause contained in Clause AA.2.
This document applies to the basic safety and essential performance of ventilatory support equipment, as defined in 201.3.302, for ventilatory impairment, as defined in 201.3.300, hereafter also referred to as ME equipment, in combination with its accessories:
—    intended for use in the home healthcare environment;
NOTE 2       In the home healthcare environment, the supply mains driving the ventilatory support equipment is often not reliable.
NOTE 3       Such ventilatory support equipment can also be used in professional health care facilities.
—    intended for use by a lay operator;
—    intended for use with patients who have ventilatory impairment, the most fragile of these patients, would not likely experience injury with the loss of this artificial ventilation; and
—    not intended for patients who are dependent on artificial ventilation for their immediate life support.
EXAMPLE 1        Patients with mild to moderate chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
Ventilatory support equipment is not considered to use a physiologic closed-loop control system unless it uses a physiological patient variable to adjust the artificial ventilation therapy settings.
This document is also applicable to those accessories intended by their manufacturer to be connected to the breathing system of ventilatory support equipment for ventilatory impairment, where the characteristics of those accessories can affect the basic safety or essential performance of the ventilatory support equipment for ventilatory impairment.
EXAMPLE 2        Breathing sets, connectors, water traps, expiratory valve, humidifier, breathing system filter, external electrical power source, distributed alarm system.
If a clause or subclause is specifically intended to be applicable to ME equipment only, or to ME systems only, the title and content of that clause or subclause will say so. If that is not the case, the clause or subclause applies both to ME equipment and to ME systems, as relevant.
Hazards inherent in the intended physiological function of ME equipment or ME systems within the scope of this document are not covered by specific requirements in this document except in IEC 60601‑1:2005+AMD1:2012+AMD2:2020, 7.2.13 and 8.4.1.
NOTE 4       Additional information can be found in IEC 60601‑1:2005+AMD1:2012+AMD2:2020, 4.2.
NOTE 5       See ISO/TR 21954 for guidance on the selection of the appropriate ventilator for a given patient. 
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 insufficiency, which are given in ISO 80601‑2‑80;
—    sleep apnoea therapy ME equipment, which are given in ISO 80601‑2‑70;
—    high-frequency jet ventilators (HFJVs), which are given in ISO 80601‑2‑87;
—    high-frequency oscillatory ventilators (HFOVs);
—    respiratory high flow equipment, which are given in
