High-pressure flexible connections for use with medical gas systems (ISO 21969:2009)

This International Standard applies to high-pressure flexible connections intended to be connected to cylinders or cylinder bundles with nominal filling pressures up to 25 000 kPa at 15 °C for use with the following medical gases: - oxygen; - nitrous oxide; - air for breathing; - helium; - carbon dioxide; - xenon; - mixtures of the gases listed above; - air for driving surgical tools; - nitrogen for driving surgical tools; - oxygen-enriched air. This International Standard applies to high-pressure flexible connections intended to connect cylinders or cylinder bundles to manifolds within sources of supply of medical gas pipeline systems complying with ISO 7396-1. This International Standard applies to high-pressure flexible connections intended to connect a cylinder to an inlet port of medical equipment (e.g. anaesthetic workstation or lung ventilator) fitted with an integral pressure regulator complying with ISO 10524-1. This International Standard does not apply to high-pressure flexible connections intended to be used to fill cylinders nor does it apply to low-pressure flexible hose assemblies that are covered by ISO 5359.

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.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 21969 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 121, Anaesthetic and respiratory equipment,
Subcommittee SC 6, Medical gas systems.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 21969:2005) which has been technically
revised.
Annex A contains rationale statements for some of the requirements of this International Standard. It is
included to provide additional insight into the reasoning that led to the requirements and recommendations
that have been incorporated in this International Standard. The clauses and subclauses marked with an
asterisk (*) after their number have corresponding rationale contained in Annex A. It is considered that
knowledge of the reasons for the requirements will not only facilitate the proper application of this International
Standard, but will also expedite any subsequent revision.
