ISO 10079-1 is one of a series of International Standards based on IEC 60601-1:1988; in IEC 60601-1 (the "General Standard"), this type of International Standard is referred to as a "Particular Standard". As stated in 1.3 of IEC 60601-1:1988, the requirements of this part of ISO 10079 take precedence over those of IEC 60601-1. The scope and object given in clause 1 of IEC 60601-1:1988 apply, except that 1.1 shall be replaced by the following: This part of ISO 10079 is not applicable to:
a) central power supply (by vacuum/compressed air generation), piping systems of vehicles and buildings, and wall connectors;

La présente partie de l'ISO 10079 spécifie les prescriptions minimales de sécurité et de performance relatives aux appareils d'aspiration médicale et chirurgicale utilisés dans les installations de soins, telles que les hôpitaux, pour les soins des malades à domicile et pour les soins sur le terrain ou lors du transport dans les ambulances. Bien que ces appareils puissent être mus par aspiration dans des canalisations fixes («vide central»), par des gaz comprimés, par une source électrique ou encore manuellement pour un certain nombre d'applications, la présente partie de l'ISO 10079 ne concerne que les appareils électriques branchés sur le secteur ou sur batteries. Les prescriptions de la présente Norme internationale ont priorité sur celles de la CEI 60601 -1. Le domaine d'application et l'objet donnés dans article 1 de la CEI 60601-1:1988 sont applicables, à l'exception du paragraphe 1.1 qui doit être remplacé par ce qui suit: La présente partie de l'ISO 10079 n'est pas applicable aux éléments énumérés ci-après: a) les alimentations motrices à partir d'une centrale (air comprimé/aspi ration), les systèmes de canalisations des véhicules et bâtiments, ainsi que les raccords muraux; b) les sondes d'aspiration, les drains, les curettes et les embouts d'aspiration; c) les seringues; d) les appareils dentaires d'aspiration; e) les systèmes d'évacuation des gaz; f) l'aspiration en laboratoire; g) les systèmes d'autotransfusion; h) le drainage urinaire passif; i) les systèmes clos pour drainage des plaies; j) le drainage gastrique par gravité; k) les extracteurs de mucosité par voie orale; l) les appareils d'aspiration dont le bocal de recueil est en aval de la pompe à vide; m) les appareils indiqués comme unités d'aspiration pour la trachéotomie permanente; n) les appareils avec ventouse (obstétrique); o) les extracteurs de mucosités pour nouveau-nés; p) les appareils d'aspiration à usage endoscopique uniquement (marqués comme tels).

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 3.
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.
International Standard ISO 10079-1 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 121, Anaesthetic and
respiratory equipment, Subcommittee SC 8, Suction devices for hospital and emergency care use.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 10079-1:1991), which has been technically revised.
ISO 10079 consists of the following parts, under the general title Medical suction equipment:
Part 1: Electrically powered suction equipment — Safety requirements
Part 2: Manually powered suction equipment
Part 3: Suction equipment powered from vacuum or pressure source
Annexes A to L of this part of ISO 10079 refer to Appendixes A to L of IEC 60601:1988, respectively. Annexes M, N
and O are for information only.

1 Scope
This part of ISO 10079 specifies minimum safety and performance requirements for medical and surgical suction
equipment (see Figure 1) for health care facilities such as hospitals, for domiciliary care of patients and for field and

Although such equipment may be driven by centrally powered piped vacuum systems, compressed gases and
electricity, or be manually powered for a variety of applications, this part of ISO 10079 addresses only mains
electricity- and battery-powered suction equipment.
NOTE See also annex M in this part of ISO 10079.
ISO 10079-1 is one of a series of International Standards based on IEC 60601-1:1988; in IEC 60601-1 (the
"General Standard"), this type of International Standard is referred to as a "Particular Standard". As stated in 1.3 of
IEC 60601-1:1988, the requirements of this part of ISO 10079 take precedence over those of IEC 60601-1.
The scope and object given in clause 1 of IEC 60601-1:1988 apply, except that 1.1 shall be replaced by the
following:
This part of ISO 10079 is not applicable to:
a) central power supply (by vacuum/compressed air generation), piping systems of vehicles and buildings,
and wall connectors;
b) catheter tubes, drains, curettes and suction tips;
c) syringes;
d) dental suction equipment;
e) waste gas scavenging systems;
f) laboratory suction;
g) autotransfusion systems;
h) passive urinary drainage;
i) closed systems for wound drainage;
j) gravity gastric drainage;
k) orally operated mucous extractors;
l) suction equipment where the collection container is downstream of the vacuum pump;
m) equipment marked as suction unit for permanent tracheostomy;
n) ventouse (obstetric) equipment;
o) neonatal mucous extractors;
p) suction equipment marked for endoscopic use only.

the available level of vacuum as determined by the manufacturer. This marking shall be visible in the
normal working position.
NOTE Equipment including vacuum should be marked with the designation; “high vacuum/high flow”, “high
vacuum/low flow”, “medium vacuum/high flow”, “medium vacuum/low flow”, “low vacuum/high flow” or “low
vacuum/low flow”, as appropriate.
2) Low vacuum equipment with a level of vacuum which is not adjustable by the user shall be marked either
with the level of vacuum which can be attained or with words indicating low vacuum.
3) Intermittent suction equipment shall be marked with words indicating intermittent suction. Equipment which
can provide both continuous and intermittent suction shall have the mode control clearly marked.
4) If there is a single exhaust opening, it shall be marked with words indicating exhaust opening.
5) Suction equipment intended for thoracic drainage and complying with 59.8 shall be marked as such.
6) The inlet connection to the collection container shall be identified unless misconnection is prevented by a
design feature.
7) If the suction equipment is intended for use in the field and/or transport and does not comply with 53.1, it
shall be marked on the equipment case as not suitable for use at temperatures below . °C or above . °C,
with the appropriate limiting temperatures marked. If no case is provided, the statement shall be marked
on the equipment.
In 6.1, add the following additional items:
aa) Equipment containing a filter which is intended to be cleaned or changed by the user shall have wording
clearly marked on the equipment, or on the filter unit, to the effect that the filter should be cleaned or changed
in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations.
ab) The capacity of the collection container.
In 6.3 c), add the following:
If a progressive variation in the degree of vacuum is available, the direction of adjustment to increase vacuum
shall be clearly and permanently marked.
In 6.8.1, add the following:
The collection container capacity shall be stated in the accompanying documents.
In 6.8.2 a), add the following:
The instructions for use shall additionally include the following information:
1) instructions for operating the vacuum regulator, if supplied, and for setting the required vacuum;
2) the size and type of suction tubing recommended for use with the suction equipment and its means of
connection to the collection container;
3) recommended methods for cleaning and disinfection or sterilization of all applied parts;
4) the method for removing the collection container for emptying;
