Anaesthetic and respiratory equipment - Air entrainment devices (ISO 23372:2022)

This document specifies minimum performance and safety requirements for air entrainment devices
used for delivery of designated oxygen concentrations to patients. It provides a test method to check
the accuracy of the oxygen concentration in the air/oxygen mixture generated by the air entrainment
devices. Air entrainment devices can be fixed to deliver a single oxygen concentration or adjustable, to
deliver a range of oxygen concentration outputs.
This document also specifies marking requirements and recommends an optional system of colour
coding to assist the user in identifying the designated oxygen concentration.
This document does not cover air entrainment devices which are integral with medical devices specified
in other standards (e.g. emergency lung ventilators, humidifiers, nebulizers).

Atemtherapiegeräte - Luftbeimischgeräte (ISO 23372:2022)

Dieses Dokument legt Mindestanforderungen an die Leistungsfähigkeit und Sicherheit von Luftbeimischgeräten fest, die für die Abgabe festgelegter Sauerstoffkonzentrationen an Patienten verwendet werden. Es bietet ein Prüfverfahren zur Überprüfung der Genauigkeit der Sauerstoffkonzentration im Luft-Sauerstoff-Gemisch, das durch das Luftbeimischgerät erzeugt wird. Luftbeimischgeräte können so eingestellt sein, dass sie nur eine Sauerstoffkonzentration bereitstellen oder einstellbar sein, um einen Bereich von Sauerstoffkonzentrationen abzugeben.
Dieses Dokument legt auch Anforderungen an die Kennzeichnung fest und enthält Empfehlungen an ein wahlweises Farbcodierungssystem, das den Anwender bei der Identifizierung der bestimmten Sauerstoffkonzentration unterstützt.
Dieses Dokument behandelt keine Luftbeimischgeräte, die ein integraler Teil von medizinischen Geräten sind, für die in anderen Normen Festlegungen bestehen (z. B. Beatmungsgeräte für den Notfall, Anfeuchter, Vernebler).

Matériel d’anesthésie et de réanimation respiratoire - Dispositifs d’entraînement d’air (ISO 23372:2022)

Le présent document spécifie les exigences de sécurité et de performance minimales des dispositifs d’entraînement d’air utilisés pour administrer des concentrations en oxygène désignées aux patients. Il fournit une méthode d’essai permettant de vérifier la précision de la concentration en oxygène dans le mélange air/oxygène généré par les dispositifs d’entraînement d’air. Les dispositifs d’entraînement d’air peuvent être réglés pour administrer une seule concentration en oxygène ou une gamme de concentrations en oxygène.
Le présent document spécifie également des exigences de marquage et recommande un système optionnel de code couleurs pour aider l’utilisateur à identifier la concentration en oxygène désignée.
Le présent document ne traite pas des dispositifs d’entraînement d’air qui sont intégrés à des dispositifs médicaux spécifiés dans d’autres normes (par exemple les ventilateurs pulmonaires d’urgence, les humidificateurs, les nébuliseurs).

Anestezijska in dihalna oprema - Vhodne naprave za zrak (ISO 23372:2022)

Ta dokument določa minimalne zahteve glede učinkovitosti in varnosti vhodnih naprav za zrak, ki se uporabljajo za dovajanje predvidenih koncentracij kisika bolnikom. Vsebuje preskusno metodo za preverjanje točnosti koncentracije kisika v mešanici zraka in kisika, ki jo pripravijo vhodne naprave za zrak. Vhodne naprave za zrak so lahko fiksno nastavljene za dovajanje ene same koncentracije kisika ali nastavljive, tako
da dovajajo različne izhodne koncentracije kisika.
Ta dokument določa tudi zahteve za označevanje ter priporočljiv izbirni sistem barvnega kodiranja za pomoč uporabniku pri določanju predvidene koncentracije kisika.
Ta dokument ne obravnava vhodnih naprav za zrak, ki so sestavni del medicinskih pripomočkov, določenih v drugih standardih (npr. pljučni ventilatorji za nujne primere, vlažilniki, nebulatorji).

25 Throughout this International Standard the following print types are used:

31 An asterisk (*) as the first character of a title or at the beginning of a paragraph or table title indicates
32 that there is guidance or rationale related to that item in Annex A.
33 The attention of Member Bodies and National Committees is drawn to the fact that equipment
34 manufacturers and testing organizations may need a transitional period following publication of a new,
35 amended or revised ISO or IEC publication in which to make products in accordance with the new
36 requirements and to equip themselves for conducting new or revised tests. It is the recommendation of
37 the committee that the content of this publication be adopted for implementation nationally not earlier
38 than 3 years from the date of publication for equipment newly designed and not earlier than 5 years
39 from the date of publication for equipment already in production.

41 Introduction
42 Air entrainment devices, commonly known as venturi masks, are used to provide a known concentration
43 of oxygen to a patient at a known set flow. They achieve this by driving the oxygen through a controlled
[1]
44 diameter orifice and entraining room air through side openings. These devices are available in
45 various concentrations and can ensure continuity over a long period of time within relatively close
46 limits of accuracy.
47 However, the use of these devices does not guarantee that the patient receives the designated oxygen
48 concentration as there are physiological factors such as the patient’s ventilator pattern, lung compliance
[2]
49 and airway resistance and physical factors such as the fit of the mask, movement by the patient etc.
