This document specifies requirements for fire activated oxygen shut-off devices that stop the flow of oxygen in respiratory therapy tubing when activated by fire. NOTE 1 Typical arrangements for fire activated oxygen shut-off devices are shown in Annex C. NOTE 2 Respiratory therapy tubing is covered by ISO 17256. NOTE 3 Use of fire activated oxygen shut-off devices in medical devices or accessories is not mandated in this document. The fire activated oxygen shut-off devices specified in this document are not suitable for use with oxygen therapy systems with flows in excess of 20 l/min). NOTE 4 There is rationale for this clause in A.2. The requirements in this device-specific standard take precedence over any conflicting requirements in the general standard for airway devices (ISO 18190). All the common requirements that appear in the general standard for airway devices have been removed from this document.

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 different types
of ISO document should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the editorial rules of the
ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).
ISO draws attention to the possibility that the implementation of this document may involve the use of (a)
patent(s). ISO takes no position concerning the evidence, validity or applicability of any claimed patent
rights in respect thereof. As of the date of publication of this document, ISO had not received notice of (a)
patent(s) which may be required to implement this document. However, implementers are cautioned that
this may not represent the latest information, which may be obtained from the patent database available at
www.iso.org/patents. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.

Introduction
Fire activated oxygen shut-off devices are used to minimise the severity of fires associated with oxygen
therapy. These devices automatically cut off the supply of oxygen in the respiratory therapy tubing and
isolate the oxygen supply as the fire propagates towards the source of supply from the normal ignition site
at the patient interface. It is therefore important that the operating characteristics be specified and tested in
a defined manner.
This document pays particular attention to:
— safety;
— cleanliness;
— performance;
— suitability of materials;
— testing;
— identification; and
— information supplied.

Anaesthetic and respiratory equipment — Fire-activated
oxygen shut-off devices for use during oxygen therapy
1 Scope
This document specifies requirements for fire activated oxygen shut-off devices that stop the flow of oxygen
in respiratory therapy tubing when activated by fire.
NOTE 1 Typical arrangements for fire activated oxygen shut-off devices are shown in Annex C.
[2]
NOTE 2 Respiratory therapy tubing is covered by ISO 17256 .
NOTE 3 Use of fire activated oxygen shut-off devices in medical devices or accessories is not mandated in this
document.
The fire activated oxygen shut-off devices specified in this document are not suitable for use with oxygen
therapy systems with flows in excess of 20 l/min).
NOTE 4 There is rationale for this clause in A.2.
The requirements in this device-specific standard take precedence over any conflicting requirements in the
general standard for airway devices (ISO 18190). All the common requirements that appear in the general
standard for airway devices have been removed from this document.
