21、an AGSS where the operator makes connections and disconnections for the disposal of medical gases and anaesthetic vapours from anaesthetic machines or other items of medical equipment, and where a wrong connection may createa hazard to the life of a patient.It is important that terminal units and th
22、eir components are designed, manufactured, installed and maintained in such a way as to meet the basic requirements specified in this part of this European Standard.This part of this European Standard pays particular attention to: suitability of materials; type-specificity; dimensions of probes and
23、type-specific connection points; cleanliness; testing; identification; information supplied.In any healthcare facility, it is strongly recommended that terminal units of only one type are used for any particular service.This part of this European Standard specifies the provision of information for t
24、he installation and testing of terminal units. Testing after installation is critical to patient safety and it is essential that terminal units are not used until full testing in accordance withprEN 737-2 has been completed.Rationales for some of the requirements of this part of this European Standa
25、rd are given in annex B. These requirements are indicated by the letter R after the clause number.1 ScopeThis part of this European Standard specifies requirements and dimensions for terminal units intended for use in anaesthetic gas scavenging systems specified in prEN 737-2 for the scavenging of m
26、edical gases and anaesthetic vapours.It is intended especially to ensure the type-specific assembly of terminal units and to prevent their interchange between different services.This part of this European Standard also specifies requirements and dimensions for the mating counterpart (probe) of the t
27、ype-specific connection point which is part of the terminal unit.This part of this European Standard does not specify the ranges of nominal operating pressures for terminal units (see prEN 737-2).This part of this European Standard specifies two types of terminal units which are non-interchangeable,
28、 for use where the power device is upstream or downstream of the terminal unit. Figure 1 shows the use of the two types of terminal unit.2 Normative referencesThis European Standard incorporates by dated or undated reference, provisions from other publications. These normative references are cited a
29、t 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 onlywhen incorporated in it by amendment or revision. For undated references, the latest edition of

These three functionally discrete parts may be either separate or sequentially combined in part or in total. In
34、addition, one or more parts of an AGSS may be sequentially combined with a breathing system to include the transfer system or transfer and receiving system.3.4disposal hosethat part of an AGSS which transfers expired and/or excess gases from the power device to the probe of an AGSS Type 2 terminal u
