Terminal units for medical gas pipeline systems - Part 1: Terminal units for use with compressed medical gases and vacuum (ISO 9170-1:2008) EN ISO 9170-1:2008

Publication date:   Mar 27, 2009

Scope

ISO 9170-1:2008 applies to:
terminal units intended for use in medical gas pipeline systems in accordance with ISO 7396-1, for use with the following medical gases:
oxygen,
nitrous oxide;
medical air;
carbon dioxide;
oxygen/nitrous oxide mixture [50 %/50 % (by volume)];
terminal units intended for use in medical gas pipeline systems in accordance with ISO 7396-1, for use with the following gases and services:
oxygen-enriched air;
air for driving surgical tools;
nitrogen for driving surgical tools;
vacuum.
It is intended especially to ensure the gas-specific assembly of terminal units and to prevent their interchange between different gases and services.
ISO 9170-1:2008 specifies requirements for terminal units for supply and disposal of nitrogen or air for driving surgical tools and requirements for probes intended to be connected to the gas-specific connection point which is part of the terminal unit.
