Pressure regulators for use with medical gases — Part 4: Low-pressure regulators ISO 10524-4:2008

Publication date:   May 20, 2008

Scope

ISO 10524-4:2008 applies to the types of low-pressure regulators listed below and intended to be used with the following medical gases in the treatment, management, diagnostic evaluation and care of patients:

oxygen;
nitrous oxide;
medical air;
helium;
carbon dioxide;
xenon;
specified mixtures of the gases listed above;
air for driving surgical tools;
nitrogen for driving surgical tools;
oxygen-enriched air.

The types of low-pressure regulators covered by ISO 10524-4:2008 are as follows:

low-pressure regulators intended to be connected to terminal units of medical gas pipeline systems complying with ISO 7396-1;
low-pressure regulators with integral flow-metering devices intended to be connected to terminal units of medical gas pipeline systems complying with ISO 7396-1;
low-pressure regulators intended to be connected to terminal units attached to pressure regulators complying with ISO 10524-1 or ISO 10524-3;
operator-adjustable low-pressure regulators for air or nitrogen for driving surgical tools that are an integral part of a medical gas pipeline system complying with ISO 7396-1.
