Foreword This document (EN 13544-3:2001+A1:2009) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 215 "Respiratory and anaesthetic equipment", the secretariat of which is held by BSI. This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by March 2010, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by March 2010. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. CEN [and/or CENELEC] shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. This document includes Amendment 1, approved by CEN on 2009-07-30. This document supersedes EN 13544-3:2001. The start and finish of text introduced or altered by amendment is indicated in the text by tags !". This European Standard has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the European Free Trade Association, and supports essential requirements of EU Directive(s). For relationship with EU Directive(s), see informative Annex ZA, which is an integral part of this standard. This European Standard applies to respiratory therapy equipment and has been prepared in three parts. This Part addresses air entrainment devices; part 1 and part 2 address respectively nebulizing systems and tubing and connectors. Annex A is normative and forms part of this European Standard. Annexes B, C and ZA are for information only. According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and United Kingdom.

1 Scope This part of this European Standard specifies minimum performance and safety requirements for air entrainment devices used for delivery of a designated oxygen concentration to patients. It gives a test method to check the oxygen concentration in the air/oxygen mixture generated by the air entrainment device. It also specifies marking requirements and gives an optional system of colour coding to assist the user to identify the designated oxygen concentration. This standard does not cover air entrainment devices which are integral with medical devices specified in other standards e.g. emergency lung ventilators, humidifiers, nebulizers, etc. 2 Normative references This European Standard incorporates by dated or undated reference, provisions from other publications. These normative references are cited at the appropriate places in the text and the publications are listed hereafter. For dated references, subsequent amendments to or revisions of any of these publications apply to this European Standard only when incorporated in it by amendment or revision. For undated references the latest edition of the publication referred to applies (including amendments).

EN ISO 4135, Anaesthetics and respiratory equipment – Vocabulary. 3 Terms and definition For the purposes of this part of this European Standard, terms and definitions given in EN ISO 4135 and the following term and definition apply. 3.1 Air entrainment device Device consisting of a jet orifice (to which the oxygen supply is connected) adjacent to a series of air entrainment ports, the distal end of the device being designed for connection to an oxygen delivery system supplying a patient. NOTE These devices are sometimes described as Venturi devices. This term has been avoided as very few actually use the venturi principle. 4 Oxygen supply The device shall be designed to operate with an oxygen supply controlled by a flowmeter control valve capable of delivering at least 15 l/min of oxygen and complying with EN 738-1 and prEN 13159. 5 Connections 5.1 Oxygen supply inlet The inlet for oxygen to the air entrainment device should be a nipple conforming to prEN 13544-2. SIST EN 13544-3:2002+A1:2009

5.2 Air inlet attachments Any air inlet attachment provided with or recommended for use with the air entrainment device shall neither affect the safety nor the performance of the device nor cover any marking of the device. The attachment shall not become detached when tested as described in A.2.8 (normative). 6 Delivered oxygen concentration When tested as described in annex A, the delivered oxygen concentration shall be as given in Table 1.
