Defines requirements for probes (quick connectors) used with pipeline systems for medical gases, including air at 400 kPa for respiratory uses and at 700 kPa and over to be used as a power source, and for vacuum.

This British Standard specifies requirements for probes (quick connectors) used with pipeline systems for medical gases, including air at 400kPa for respiratory purposes and at 700kPa and above for use as a power source, and for vacuum.

This British Standard does not apply to components used for non-clinical purposes, components within medical equipment or on the patient side of the flowmeter, vacuum connections to medical equipment, or connections to pneumatic power tools.

NOTE AnnexA provides information on the use of probes conforming to this British Standard in existing terminal units. AnnexB gives recommendations for probe materials.
