BS EN ISO 10079-1:2009 Medical suction equipment. Electrically powered suction equipment. Safety requirements (ISO 10079-1:1999)
BS EN ISO 10079-1 specifies minimum safety and performance requirements for medical and surgical suction equipment for health care facilities such as hospitals, for domiciliary care of patients and for field and transport use.
Although such equipment may be driven by centrally powered piped vacuum systems, compressed gases and electricity, or be manually powered for a variety of applications, BS EN ISO 10079-1 addresses only mains electricity and battery-powered suction equipment.
