PRISES-DE-GAZ · OUTLET
Introduction
Medical gas outlets represent the final stage of the medical gas flow between the production room and the patient. These outlets must be handled by caregivers: in order to avoid any error in administering medical gases, they are gas-specific in accordance with the ISO 9170-1 standard. The colour coding of each outlet also helps to facilitate the connection of medical gas distribution equipment.
