Introduction
Respiratory high-flow therapy equipment has been used successfully for years with neonatal patients. In
recent years there is more information about treating adults with respiratory high-flow therapy
equipment when it is used as an intermediate therapy to improve oxygenation in adult critical care
patients, respiratory care units and for palliative care. High-flow therapy equipment is also used in the
treatment of chronic respiratory disease to reduce exacerbation, improve physiological outcomes and
[30][43][44][47] 1
quality of life . The use of respiratory high-flow therapy equipment continues to increase as it
is easily set up and is well tolerated by patients.
Since the outbreak of COVID-19 in January of 2020, its spread has been rapid and fierce. In hospitals
across the world, all kinds of respiratory high-flow therapy equipment have been widely used. In general,
there is a trend to use more non-invasive respiratory therapy. More and more new manufacturers of
respiratory high-flow therapy equipment have rapidly emerged. Neither international nor national
standards are available for respiratory high-flow therapy equipment. With the spread of the epidemic
globally, the demand for this document is clear and very urgent.
The first respiratory high-flow therapy equipment was constructed by the connection of a humidifier,
air/oxygen mixer/blender, flowmeter, breathing tube and cannula. Based on the improvement in
technical integration in recent years, there are several technical routes for respiratory high-flow therapy
equipment on the market. Respiratory high-flow therapy equipment is not fully covered by the existing
standards for humidifiers, gas mixers for medical use, flowmeters or ventilators.
This document addresses the basic safety and essential performance requirements of respiratory high-
flow therapy equipment, including risks related to oxygen (e.g., fires, incorrect oxygen concentration,
incorrect flow delivery, etc.).
Specifically, the following risks and related requirements were considered in the development of this
document.
— Contaminated air entering the gas intake port of the respiratory high-flow therapy equipment.
— Instability of gas supply from a high-pressure inlet.
— Insufficient pressure from a high-pressure inlet, and subsequent effects on oxygen delivered to the
patient.
— Insufficient oxygen being delivered to the patient, and related alarm condition.
— Usability by operators wearing personal protective equipment (such as gloves and blurred visors),
when setting up equipment, or viewing or changing settings.
— Instability of output delivered to patients, necessitating frequent operator adjustment.
— Processing of equipment, including the surface of the enclosure and internal gas pathways,
particularly after use on infectious patients.
— Infectious exhaled gas.
— Overheating of respiratory high-flow therapy equipment.
In this document, the following print types are used:
— requirements and definitions: roman type;
— test specifications and terms defined in Clause 3 of the general standard, in this document or as noted:
italic type;

Normative text of tables is also in a smaller type.
In referring to the structure of this document, the term:
— “clause” means one of the five numbered divisions within the table of contents, inclusive of all
subdivisions (e.g. Clause 201 includes subclauses 201.7, 201.8, etc.);
— “subclause” means a numbered subdivision of a clause (e.g. 201.7, 201.8 and 201.9 are all subclauses
of Clause 201).
References to clauses within this document are preceded by the term “Clause” followed by the clause
number. References to subclauses within this particular document are by number only.
In this document, the conjunctive “or” is used as an “inclusive or” so a statement is true if any combination
of the conditions is true.
For the purposes of this document, the auxiliary verb:
— “shall” means that conformance with a requirement or a test is mandatory for conformance with this
document;
— “should” means that conformance with a requirement or a test is recommended but is not mandatory
for conformance with this document;
— “may” is used to describe permission (e.g. a permissible way to achieve conformance with a
requirement or test);
— "can" is used to describe a possibility or capability;
— "must" is used express an external constraint.

IEC 60601-1-8:2006+AMD1:2012+AMD2:2020 and IEC 60601-1-11:2015+AMD1:2020 apply as
[22]
modified in Clauses 202, 206, 208 and 211 respectively. IEC 60601-1-3 does not apply. All other
published collateral standards in the IEC 60601-1 series apply as published.
201.1.4 Particular standards
Replacement:
In the IEC 60601 series, particular standards define basic safety and essential performance requirements,
and may modify, replace or delete requirements contained in the general standard, including the
collateral standards as appropriate for the particular ME equipment under consideration.
A requirement of a particular standard takes priority over the general standard.
For brevity, IEC 60601-1:2005+AMD1:2012+AMD2:2020 is referred to in this particular document as the
general standard. Collateral standards are referred to by their document number.
The numbering of clauses and subclauses of this document corresponds to that of the general standard
with the prefix “201” (e.g. 201.1 in this document addresses the content of Clause 1 of the general
standard) or applicable collateral standard with the prefix “2xx”, where xx is the final digits of the
collateral standard document number (e.g. 202.4 in this document addresses the content of Clause 4 of
the IEC 60601-1-2 collateral standard, 211.10 in this document addresses the content of Clause 10 of the
IEC 60601-1-11 collateral standard, etc.). The changes to the text of the general standard are specified by
the use of the following words:
"Replacement" means that the clause or subclause of the general standard or applicable collateral
standard is replaced completely by the text of this document.

97 Introduction
98 Respiratory high-flow therapy equipment has been used successfully for years with neonatal patients. In recent
99 years there is more information about treating adults with respiratory high-flow therapy equipment when it is
100 used as an intermediate therapy to improve oxygenation in adult critical care patients, respiratory care units
101 and for palliative care. The use of respiratory high-flow therapy equipment continues to increase as it is easily
102 set up and is well tolerated by patients.
103 Since the outbreak of COVID-19 in China in January of 2020, its spread has been rapid and fierce. In hospitals
104 across the world, all kinds of respiratory high-flow therapy equipment have been widely used. More and more
105 new manufacturers of respiratory high-flow therapy equipment have rapidly emerged. Neither international nor
106 national standards are available for respiratory high-flow therapy equipment. With the spread of the epidemic
107 globally, the demand for this document is clear and very urgent.
108 The first respiratory high-flow therapy equipment was constructed by the connection of a humidifier, air/oxygen
109 mixer/blender, breathing tube and cannula. Based on the improvement in technical integration in recent years,
110 there are several technical routes for respiratory high-flow therapy equipment on the market. Respiratory high-
111 flow therapy equipment is not fully covered by the existing standards for humidifiers, gas mixers for medical use
112 or ventilators.
113 This document addresses the basic safety and essential performance requirements of respiratory high-flow
114 therapy equipment, including risks related to oxygen (e.g., fires, incorrect oxygen concentration, incorrect flow
115 delivery, etc.).
116 Specifically, the following risks and related requirements were considered in the development of this document.
117 — The air entering the gas intake port by the respiratory high-flow therapy equipment might be contaminated.
118 What measures are needed to avoid or reduce the contamination of the gas pathways.
119 — The input oxygen source pressure might be unstable.
120 — When the pressure of the oxygen source is insufficient, is there an additional gas source, such as adding an
121 additional oxygen input to maintain the delivered oxygen concentration?
122 — When the oxygen concentration of the respiratory high-flow therapy equipment does not reach the set value,
123 does the respiratory high-flow therapy equipment need to generate an alarm condition?
124 — Is the respiratory high-flow therapy equipment easy to install and adjust by operators wearing multiple
125 layers of protective clothing and gloves?
126 — Are the markings and displays of the respiratory high-flow therapy equipment clear enough for operators
127 whose vision is blurred due to aerosol on their goggles?
128 — To reduce unnecessary risk of infection and reduce the burden on the operators, respiratory high-flow
129 therapy equipment needs to remain stable, reducing the need for frequent operator adjustment.
130 — For the respiratory high-flow therapy equipment used in an infected area, after one patient's use, before the
131 next patient's use or before the respiratory high-flow therapy equipment is transferred to a non-infected
132 area, the respiratory high-flow therapy equipment needs cleaning and disinfection, including the surface of
133 the enclosure and the internal gas pathways.
134 — The risk of infectious exhaled gas.
135 This publication has been drafted in accordance with the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
136 In this document, the following print types are used:
137 — requirements and definitions: roman type;
138 — test specifications: italic type;
139 — informative material appearing outside of tables, such as notes, examples and references: in smaller type. Normative
140 text of tables is also in a smaller type.
