Respiratory tract humidifiers for medical use - Particular requirements for respiratory humidification systems (ISO 8185:2007)
This International Standard includes requirements for the basic safety and essential performance of humidification systems, as defined in 3.6. This International Standard also includes requirements for individual devices specified for use in humidification systems such as heated breathing tubes (heated-wire breathing tubes) and devices intended to control these heated breathing tubes (heated breathing tube controllers). ISO 5367 specifies other safety and performance requirements for breathing tubes.
Anfeuchter für Respirationsluft für medizinische Zwecke - Besondere Anforderungen an Anfeuchtersysteme für Respirationsluft (ISO 8185:2007)
IEC 60601-1:1988, Abschnitt 1, gilt mit folgender Ausnahme:
Ergänzung (am Ende von 1.1 zu ergänzen):
Diese Internationale Norm enthält Anforderungen für die grundlegende Sicherheit und die wesentlichen
Leistungen von Anfeuchtersystemen, wie sie in 3.6 definiert sind. Diese Internationale Norm enthält auch
Anforderungen an Einzelgeräte, die für die Verwendung in Anfeuchtersystemen ausgelegt sind, wie beheizte
Atemschläuche (Atemschläuche mit Heizdrähten) und Geräte, die zur Regelung dieser beheizten
Atemschläuche vorgesehen sind (Regelvorrichtungen für beheizte Atemschläuche). ISO 5367 legt
weitere sicherheitstechnische und Leistungsanforderungen an Atemschläuche fest.
ANMERKUNG Beheizte Atemschläuche sind medizinische elektrische Geräte und unterliegen den Anforderungen
von IEC 60601-1.
* Diese Internationale Norm enthält auch Anforderungen an aktive Wärme- und Feuchtigkeitsaustauscher
(HME von engl. „Heat and Moisture Exchangers“), die aktiv Wärme und Feuchtigkeit zusetzen, um den
Feuchtigkeitsgrad des vom HME an den Patienten abgegebenen Gases zu erhöhen. Diese Internationale
Norm gilt nicht für passive HME, die während der Einatmung einen Teil der vom Patienten ausgeatmeten
Feuchtigkeit und Wärme ohne Zusatz von Wärme und Feuchtigkeit in den Atemwegstrakt zurückführen.
ISO 9360-1 und ISO 9360-2 legen Sicherheits- und Leistungsanforderungen für passive HMEs fest und
beschreiben Verfahren zur Prüfung der Leistung.
Anfeuchter für die Atemwege können durch Gas, Strom oder beides betrieben werden. Diese Internationale
Norm wurde jedoch als Besondere Norm auf der Grundlage von IEC 60601-1 erarbeitet, die allgemeine
Anforderungen nicht nur an die elektrische Sicherheit, sondern zu sämtlichen Sicherheitsaspekten festlegt,
und viele der Anforderungen gelten deshalb auch für Anfeuchter, die nicht durch Strom betrieben werden.
Humidificateurs respiratoires médicaux - Exigences spécifiques des systèmes d'humidification respiratoires (ISO 8185:2007)
L'ISO 8185:2006 est une norme particulière basée sur la CEI 60601-1:1988 et ses amendements, Amd.1 :1991 et Amd.2 :1995.
L'ISO 8185:2006 contient les exigences de sécurité de base et les exigences en matière de performances essentielles des systèmes d'humidification. Elle contient également des exigences applicables aux dispositifs particuliers destinés à être utilisés dans les systèmes d'humidification comme les tuyaux respiratoires chauffés (tuyaux respiratoires avec résistance chauffante) et les dispositifs destinés au contrôle de ces tuyaux respiratoires chauffés (commandes de tuyaux respiratoires chauffés). L'ISO 5367 spécifie d'autres exigences de sécurité et de performance pour les tuyaux respiratoires.
NOTE Les tuyaux respiratoires sont des appareils électromédicaux et sont soumis aux exigences de la CEI 60601-1.
L'ISO 8185:2006 contient également des exigences relatives aux dispositifs échangeurs de chaleur et d'humidité actifs qui ajoutent activement de la chaleur et de l'humidité afin d'augmenter le niveau d'humidité du gaz administré au patient. Elle ne s'applique pas aux échangeurs de chaleur et d'humidité passifs qui renvoient une partie de l'humidité et de la chaleur de l'air expiré par le patient aux voies respiratoires lors de l'inspiration, sans ajout de chaleur et d'humidité. L'ISO 9360-1 et l'ISO 9360-2 spécifient les exigences de sécurité et de performance pour les échangeurs de chaleur et d'humidité passifs et décrit les méthodes applicables aux essais de performance.
Les humidificateurs des voies respiratoires peuvent fonctionner avec un gaz comprimé, à l'électricité ou les deux. Toutefois, l'ISO 8185:2006 a été élaborée comme une norme particulière basée sur la CEI 60601-1, qui donne des règles générales relatives à tous les aspects de la sécurité, pas seulement de la sécurité électrique, et de nombreuses exigences sont donc applicables aux humidificateurs qui ne fonctionnent pas à l'électricité.
L'ISO 8185:2006 ne s'applique ni aux dispositifs servant à humidifier des locaux, ni aux humidificateurs utilisés pour le chauffage, la ventilation ou la climatisation, ni aux humidificateurs utilisés dans les couveuses.
L'ISO 8185:2006 ne s'applique pas aux nébuliseurs utilisés pour administrer des médicaments aux patients.

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 8185 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 121, Anaesthetic and respiratory equipment,
Subcommittee SC 3, Lung ventilators and related equipment.
This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition (ISO 8185:1997), which has been technically
revised. It also incorporates the Technical Corrigendum, ISO 8185:1997/Cor. 1:2001.
