CAN/CSA-Z7396-2-02 (R2007)

This National Standard of Canada is based on International Standard Scope ISO 7396-2:2000. 1 Scope This part of ISO 7396 specifies requirements for the installation, function, performance, documentation, testing and commissioning of anaesthetic gas scavenging disposal systems to ensure patient and operator safety. It includes requirements for the power device, pipeline system, performance and for non-interchangeability between key components. This part of ISO 7396 specifies: a) the compatibility between and safe performance of the disposal system and the other components of the AGSS by design, installation and commissioning; b) the use of appropriate materials; c) the testing for correct installation of the completed system to ensure achievement of the performance intended by the manufacturer; d) the marking of pipeline and components. Note In this part of ISO 7396, the term "pipeline" refers exclusively to pipelines that are part of a dedicated anaesthetic gas scavenging system. This part of ISO 7396 is applicable only to those disposal systems which are intended to be connected via AGSS terminal units which comply with ISO 9170-2 to receiving systems which comply with ISO 8835-3. Note 1A: This Standard does no preclude the use of terminal units with DISS, proprietary, or 30 mm conical connectors.
