This document specifies tests for the emissions of volatile organic compounds<\/small> (voc<\/small>s) from the gas pathways<\/small> of a medical device<\/small>, its parts or accessories<\/small>, which are intended to provide respiratory care or supply substances via the respiratory tract to a patient<\/small> in all environments. The tests of this document are intended to quantify emissions of voc<\/small>s that are added to the respirable gas stream by the materials of the gas pathway<\/small>. This document establishes acceptance criteria for these tests.<\/p>\n
This document addresses potential contamination of the gas stream arising from the gas pathways<\/small>, which is then conducted to the patient<\/small>.<\/p>\n
This document applies over the expected service life<\/small> of the medical device<\/small> in normal use<\/small> and takes into account the effects of any intended processing or reprocessing.<\/p>\n
This document does not address biological evaluation of the surfaces of gas pathways<\/small> that are in direct contact with the patient<\/small>. The requirements for direct contact surfaces are found in the ISO 10993 series[1]<\/sup>.<\/p>\n Medical devices<\/small>, parts or accessories<\/small> containing gas pathways<\/small> that are addressed by this document include, but are not limited to, ventilators, anaesthesia workstations (including gas mixers), breathing systems, oxygen conserving devices, oxygen concentrators, nebulizers, low-pressure hose assemblies, humidifiers, heat and moisture exchangers, respiratory gas monitors, respiration monitors, masks, mouth pieces, resuscitators, breathing tubes, breathing systems filters, Y-pieces and any breathing accessories<\/small> intended to be used with such devices. The enclosed chamber of an incubator, including the mattress, and the inner surface of an oxygen hood are considered to be gas pathways<\/small> and are also addressed by this document.<\/p>\n This document does not address contamination already present in the gas supplied from the gas sources while medical devices<\/small> are in normal use<\/small>.<\/p>\n EXAMPLE Contamination arriving at the medical device<\/small> from gas sources such as medical gas pipeline systems<\/small> (including the non-return valves in the pipeline outlets), outlets of pressure regulators connected or integral to a medical gas cylinder or room air taken into the medical device<\/small> is not addressed by ISO 18562 series.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n This document is intended to be read in conjunction with ISO 18562\u20111.<\/p>\n NOTE This document has been prepared to address the relevant essential principles of safety and performance as indicated in Annex B.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Biocompatibility evaluation of breathing gas pathways in healthcare applications – Tests for emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs)<\/b><\/p>\n\n
