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/IEC 80601-2-69 was prepared by a joint working group of Technical Committee ISO/TC 121,
Anaesthetic and respiratory equipment, Subcommittee SC 3, Lung ventilators and related
equipment and Technical Committee IEC/TC 62, Electrical equipment in medical practice,
Subcommittee SC D, Electrical equipment.
This first edition of ISO 80601-2-69 cancels and replaces the first edition of ISO 8359:1996. This
edition of ISO 80601-2-69 constitutes a major technical revision of ISO 8359:1996 and includes an
alignment with the third edition of IEC 60601-1 and IEC 60601-1-11.
The most significant changes are the following modifications:
– extending the scope to include not only the OXYGEN CONCENTRATOR but also its ACCESSORIES,
where the characteristics of those ACCESSORIES can affect the BASIC SAFETY and ESSENTIAL
PERFORMANCE of the OXYGEN CONCENTRATOR;
– identification of ESSENTIAL PERFORMANCE for an OXYGEN CONCENTRATOR and its ACCESSORIES;
– and the following additions:
 tests for oxygen delivery performance;
 new symbols;
 new requirement for a means to prevent the propagation of fire into the OXYGEN CONCENTRATOR
and its ACCESSORIES;
 tests for cleaning and disinfection PROCEDURES; and
 consideration of contamination of the breathing gas delivered to the PATIENT from the gas
pathways.
In this standard, the following print types are used:
– Requirements and definitions: roman type.
– Test specifications: italic type.

Introduction
Oxygen supplementation can be part of management of PATIENTS with chronic, acute–on-chronic
and acute respiratory disorders. The amount of supplemental oxygen depends on the individual
PATIENT’S needs under various conditions. The managing healthcare team typically prescribes the
endpoint of treatment, for example a target value for oxygen saturation. The amount of
supplemental oxygen can be controlled by the flowrate.
The goal of long term oxygen therapy is to keep the oxygen saturation above 90 % in PATIENTS that
require supplemental oxygen. The flowrate should be adjusted for rest, exertion, and sleep to meet
the individual PATIENT’S needs under these various conditions. Ideally, the resting flowrate is
adjusted to maintain SpO > 90 % as indicated by pulse oximetry.
2
Supplemental oxygen is supplied by various sources: MEDICAL GAS PIPELINE SYSTEMS, OXYGEN
CONCENTRATORS, compressed gas cylinders, and liquid oxygen reservoirs. This standard covers the
particular requirements for BASIC SAFETY and ESSENTIAL PERFORMANCE of OXYGEN CONCENTRATORS.
OXYGEN CONCENTRATORS produce oxygen enriched air from room air for delivery to a PATIENT
requiring oxygen therapy. The most common OXYGEN CONCENTRATOR uses molecular sieve beds to
filter and concentrate oxygen molecules from the ambient air, generating oxygen concentrations of
typically 82 % to 96 %. The main component of this type of OXYGEN CONCENTRATOR is the molecular
sieve, which adsorbs nitrogen from air to produce a product gas which is a mixture of typically up to
95 % oxygen and 5 % of other gases. The periodic adsorbing and purging of nitrogen is referred to
as the pressure swing adsorption process.

INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 80601-2-69:2014(E)

Medical electrical equipment —
Part 2-69:
Particular requirements for basic safety and essential
performance of oxygen concentrator equipment
201.1 Scope, object and related standards
IEC 60601-1:2005+Amendment 1:2012, Clause 1 applies, except as follows:
201.1.1 Scope
IEC 60601-1:2005+Amendment 1:2012, 1.1 is replaced by:
This particular standard specifies requirements for the BASIC SAFETY and ESSENTIAL PERFORMANCE of an
OXYGEN CONCENTRATOR in combination with its ACCESSORIES, hereafter referred to as ME EQUIPMENT,
intended to increase the oxygen concentration of gas intended to be delivered to a single PATIENT. Such
OXYGEN CONCENTRATORS are typically intended for use in the HOME HEALTHCARE ENVIRONMENT, including
TRANSIT‐OPERABLE use by a single PATIENT in various environments including any private and public
transportation as well as in commercial aircraft.
NOTE 1 Such an OXYGEN CONCENTRATOR can also be used in professional healthcare facilities.
This particular standard is applicable to a TRANSIT‐OPERABLE and non‐TRANSIT‐OPERABLE OXYGEN
CONCENTRATOR. This particular standard is applicable to an OXYGEN CONCENTRATOR integrated into or used
with other medical devices, ME EQUIPMENT or ME SYSTEMS.
EXAMPLE 1 An OXYGEN CONCENTRATOR with integrated oxygen CONSERVING EQUIPMENT [10] or humidifier [4].
EXAMPLE 2 An OXYGEN CONCENTRATOR used with a flowmeter stand.
EXAMPLE 3 An OXYGEN CONCENTRATOR as part of an anaesthetic system for use in areas with limited logistical
supplies of electricity and anaesthetic gases. [3]
EXAMPLE 4 An OXYGEN CONCENTRATOR with an integrated liquid reservoir or gas cylinder filling system.
This particular standard is also applicable to those ACCESSORIES intended by their MANUFACTURER to be
connected to an OXYGEN CONCENTRATOR, where the characteristics of those ACCESSORIES can affect the
BASIC SAFETY or ESSENTIAL PERFORMANCE of the OXYGEN CONCENTRATOR.
This particular standard does not specify the requirements for OXYGEN CONCENTRATORS for use with a
MEDICAL GAS PIPELINE SYSTEM which are given in ISO 10083.
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 standard are not covered by specific requirements in this standard except in 7.2.13 and 8.4.1 of
the general standard.
NOTE 2 See also 4.2 of the General Standard.
This International Standard is a particular standard in the IEC 60601‐1 series of standards.
201.1.2 Object
IEC 60601-1:2005, 1.2 is replaced by:
The object of this International Standard is to establish particular BASIC SAFETY and ESSENTIAL
PERFORMANCE requirements for an OXYGEN CONCENTRATOR [as defined in 201.3.203] and its ACCESSORIES.
NOTE ACCESSORIES are included because the combination of the OXYGEN CONCENTRATOR and the ACCESSORIES
needs to be adequately safe. ACCESSORIES can have a significant impact on the BASIC SAFETY or ESSENTIAL PERFORMANCE
of an OXYGEN CONCENTRATOR.
201.1.3 Collateral standards
IEC 60601-1:2005+Amendment 1:2012, 1.3 applies with the following addition:
This particular standard refers to those applicable collateral standards that are listed in IEC 60601‐
1:2005+Amendment 1:2012, Clause 2 of the general standard and 201.2 of this particular standard.
IEC 60601‐1‐3:2008+Amendment 1:2013 does not apply.
201.1.4 Particular standards
IEC 60601-1:2005+Amendment 1:2012, 1.4 is replaced by:
In the IEC 60601 series, particular standards may modify, replace or delete requirements contained in
the general standard, including the collateral standards, as appropriate for the particular ME EQUIPMENT
under consideration, and may add other BASIC SAFETY or ESSENTIAL PERFORMANCE requirements.
A requirement of a particular standard takes priority over the general standard or the collateral
standards

86 Foreword
87 ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
88 (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
89 technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
90 established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
91 non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the
92 International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
93 International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
94 The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
95 adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
96 International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
97 Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
98 rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
99 ISO/IEC 80601-2-69 was prepared by a joint working group of Technical Committee ISO/TC 121, Anaesthetic
100 and respiratory equipment, Subcommittee SC 3, Lung ventilators and related equipment and Technical
101 Committee IEC/TC 62, Electrical equipment in medical practice, Subcommittee SC D, Electrical equipment.
102 This first edition of ISO 80601-2-69 cancels and replaces the first edition of ISO 8359:1996. This edition of
103 ISO 80601-2-69 constitutes a major technical revision of ISO 8359:1996 and includes an alignment with third
104 edition of IEC 60601-1 and IEC 60601-1-11.
105 The most significant changes are the following modifications:
106 – extending the scope to include not only the OXYGEN CONCENTRATOR but also its ACCESSORIES,
107 where the characteristics of those ACCESSORIES can affect the BASIC SAFETY and ESSENTIAL
108 PERFORMANCE of the OXYGEN CONCENTRATOR;
109 – identification of ESSENTIAL PERFORMANCE for an OXYGEN CONCENTRATOR and its ACCESSORIES;
110 – and the following additions:
111  tests for oxygen delivery performance;
112  new symbols;
113  new requirement for a means to prevent the propagation of fire into the OXYGEN CONCENTRATOR
114 and its ACCESSORIES;
115  tests for cleaning and disinfection procedures; and
116  consideration of contamination of the breathing gas delivered to the PATIENT from the gas
117 pathways.
118 In this standard, the following print types are used:
119 – Requirements and definitions: roman type.
120 – Test specifications: italic type.
121 – Informative material appearing outside of tables, such as notes, examples and references: in smaller type.
122 Normative text of tables is also in a smaller type.

126 – "clause” means one of the seventeen numbered divisions within the table of contents, inclusive of
127 all subdivisions (e.g. Clause 7 includes subclauses 7.1, 7.2, etc.);
128 – “subclause” means a numbered subdivision of a clause (e.g. 201.7.1, 201.7.2 and 201.7.2.1 are
129 all subclauses of Clause 201.7).
130 References to clauses within this standard are preceded by the term “Clause” followed by the clause number.
131 References to subclauses within this particular standard are by number only.
132 In this standard, the conjunctive “or” is used as an “inclusive or” so a statement is true if any combination of
133 the conditions is true.
134 The verbal forms used in this standard conform to usage described in Annex H of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part
135 2. For the purposes of this standard, the auxiliary verb:
136 – “shall” means that compliance with a requirement or a test is mandatory for compliance with this
137 standard;
138 – “should” means that compliance with a requirement or a test is recommended but is not
139 mandatory for compliance with this standard;
140 – “may” is used to describe a permissible way to achieve compliance with a requirement or test.
141 An asterisk (*) as the first character of a title or at the beginning of a paragraph or table title indicates that
142 there is guidance or rationale related to that item in Annex A.
143 The attention of Member Bodies and National Committees is drawn to the fact that equipment manufacturers
144 and testing organizations may need a transitional period following publication of a new, amended or revised
145 ISO or IEC publication in which to make products in accordance with the new requirements and to equip
146 themselves for conducting new or revised tests. It is the recommendation of the committee that the content of
147 this publication not be adopted for mandatory implementation nationally earlier than 3 years from the date of
148 publication for equipment newly designed and not earlier than 5 years from the date of publication for
149 equipment already in production.

150 Introduction
151 Oxygen supplementation can be part of management of PATIENTS with chronic, acute–on-chronic and
152 acute respiratory disorders. The amount of supplemental oxygen depends on the individual PATIENT’S
153 needs under various conditions. The managing healthcare team typically prescribes the endpoint of
154 treatment, for example a target value for oxygen saturation. The amount of supplemental oxygen can
155 be controlled by the flow rate.
156 The goal of long term oxygen therapy is to keep the oxygen saturation above 90 % in PATIENTS that require
157 supplemental oxygen. The flow rate should be adjusted for rest, exertion, and sleep to meet the individual
158 PATIENT’S needs under these various conditions. Ideally, the resting flowrate can be adjusted by monitoring
159 pulse oximetry to Sp0 > 90 %.

160 Supplemental oxygen is supplied by three types of sources: OXYGEN CONCENTRATORS, compressed
161 gas cylinders, and liquid oxygen reservoirs. This standard covers the particular requirements for
162 BASIC SAFETY and ESSENTIAL PERFORMANCE of OXYGEN CONCENTRATORS. OXYGEN CONCENTRATORS
163 produce oxygen enriched air from room air for delivery to a PATIENT requiring oxygen therapy. The
164 most common OXYGEN CONCENTRATOR uses molecular sieve beds to filter and concentrate oxygen
165 molecules from the ambient air, generating oxygen concentrations of 82 to 95%. The main
166 component of this type of OXYGEN CONCENTRATOR is the molecular sieve, which adsorbs nitrogen from
167 air to produce a product gas which is a mixture of up to 95% oxygen and 5 % of other gases. The
168 periodic adsorbing and purging of nitrogen is referred to as the pressure swing adsorption process.

170 Medical Electrical Equipment — Part 2-69: Particular
171 requirements for basic safety and essential performance of
172 oxygen concentrator equipment
173 201.1 Scope, object and related standards
174 IEC 60601-1:2005+Amendment 1:2012, Clause 1 applies, except as follows:
175 201.1.1 Scope
176 IEC 60601-1:2005+Amendment 1:2012, 1.1 is replaced by:
177 This particular standard is applicable to the BASIC SAFETY and ESSENTIAL PERFORMANCE of an OXYGEN
178 CONCENTRATOR in combination with its ACCESSORIES, hereafter referred to as ME EQUIPMENT, intended
179 to increase the oxygen concentration in the gas intended to be delivered to a single PATIENT. Such
180 OXYGEN CONCENTRATORS are typically intended for use in the HOME HEALTHCARE ENVIRONMENT,
181 including TRANSIT-OPERABLE use by a single PATIENT in various environments including any private
182 and public transportation and commercial aircraft.
183 NOTE 1 An OXYGEN CONCENTRATOR can also be used in professional healthcare facilities.
184 This particular standard is applicable to a TRANSIT-OPERABLE or non-TRANSIT-OPERABLE OXYGEN
185 CONCENTRATOR. This particular standard is applicable to an OXYGEN CONCENTRATOR integrated into or
186 used with other ME EQUIPMENT or ME SYSTEMS.
187 EXAMPLE 1 An OXYGEN CONCENTRATOR with integrated oxygen CONSERVING EQUIPMENT or humidifier.
188 EXAMPLE 2 An OXYGEN CONCENTRATOR used with a flowmeter stand.
189 This particular standard is also applicable to those ACCESSORIES intended by their MANUFACTURER to
190 be connected to an OXYGEN CONCENTRATOR, where the characteristics of those ACCESSORIES can
191 affect the BASIC SAFETY or ESSENTIAL PERFORMANCE of the OXYGEN CONCENTRATOR.
192 This particular standard does not specify the requirements for OXYGEN CONCENTRATORS for use with a
193 MEDICAL GAS PIPELINE SYSTEM which are given in ISO 10083.
194 If a clause or subclause is specifically intended to be applicable to ME EQUIPMENT only, or to
195 ME SYSTEMS only, the title and content of that clause or subclause will say so. If that is not the case,
196 the clause or subclause applies both to ME EQUIPMENT and to ME SYSTEMS, as relevant.
197 HAZARDS inherent in the intended physiological function of ME EQUIPMENT or ME SYSTEMS within the
198 scope of this standard are not covered by specific requirements in this standard except in 7.2.13 and
199 8.4.1 of the general standard.
200 NOTE 2 See also 4.2 of the General Standard.
201 This particular standard is a particular standard in the IEC 60601-1 series of standards.

202 201.1.2 Object
203 IEC 60601-1:2005, 1.2 is replaced by:
204 The object of this particular standard is to establish particular BASIC SAFETY and ESSENTIAL
205 PERFORMANCE requirements for an OXYGEN CONCENTRATOR [as defined in 201.3.203] and its
206 ACCESSORIES.
207 NOTE ACCESSORIES are included because the combination of the OXYGEN CONCENTRATOR and the
208 ACCESSORIES needs to be adequately safe. ACCESSORIES can have a significant impact on the BASIC SAFETY or
209 ESSENTIAL PERFORMANCE of an OXYGEN CONCENTRATOR.
210 201.1.3 Collateral standards
211 IEC 60601-1:2005+Amendment 1:2012, 1.3 applies with the following addition:
212 This particular standard refers to those applicable collateral standards that are listed in IEC 60601-
213 1:2005+Amendment 1:2012, Clause 2 of the general standard and 201.2 of this particular standard.
214 IEC 60601-1-3:2008 does not apply.
215 201.1.4 Particular standards
216 IEC 60601-1:2005+Amendment 1:2012, 1.4 is replaced by:
217 In the IEC 60601 series, particular standards may modify, replace or delete requirements contained in
218 the general standard, including the collateral standards, as appropriate for the particular ME EQUIPMENT
219 under consideration, and may add other BASIC SAFETY or ESSENTIAL PERFORMANCE requirements.
220 A requirement of a particular standard takes priority over the general standard or the collateral
221 standards.
222 For brevity, IEC 60601-1:2005+Amendment 1:2012 is referred to in this particular standard as the
223 general standard. Collateral standards are referred to by their document number.
224 The numbering of clauses and subclauses of this particular standard corresponds to those of the
225 general standard with the prefix “201” (e.g. 201.1 in this standard addresses the content of Clause 1 of
226 the general standard) or applicable collateral standard with the prefix “2xx” where xx is the final digits
227 of the collateral standard document number (e.g. 202.4 in this particular standard addresses the
228 content of Clause 4 of the IEC 60601-1-2 collateral standard, 208.4 in this particular standard
229 addresses the content of Clause 4 of the IEC 60601-1-8 collateral standard, etc.). The changes to the
