This International EN 10079-3 standard describes the characteristics and test methods of extractors (suction equipment) fed from a vacuum or positive pressure source. EN 10079-3 describes the safety and performance requirements for medical suction equipment fed from a venturi suction generating vacuum or positive pressure gas source.
In general terms, the venturi effect is the drop in pressure that occurs as a fluid passes through a narrowed section of a pipe. This standard also covers equipment connected to medical gas pipeline systems or cylinders and venturi connections. Equipment defined in this standard may be stand-alone or part of an integrated system.
The EN 10079-3 standard sets out requirements for medical suction equipment fed from a vacuum or positive pressure gas source that produces venturi suction. Additional requirements for suction equipment intended for use in the field or during transport are contained in this standard.
The EN 10079-3 standard does not apply to:
