CSA Preface
This is the third edition of CAN/CSA-Z5359, Anaesthetic and respiratory equipment — Low-pressure hose assemblies for use with medical gases, medical vacuum, medical support gases, and anaesthetic gas scavenging systems, which is an adoption, with Canadian deviations, of ISO (International Organization for Standardization) Standard 5359 (fourth edition, 2014-10-01) titled Anaesthetic and respiratory equipment — Low-pressure hose assemblies for use with medical gases. It supersedes the previous edition, published in 2010 as CAN/CSA-Z5359, Low-pressure hose assemblies for use with medical gases (adopted ISO 5359:2008).
In this third edition, the title has been modified to reflect the application of the Standard in Canada.
In Canada, low-pressure hose assemblies are classified by Health Canada as Class II Medical Devices.
This Standard has been developed in compliance with Standards Council of Canada requirements for National Standards of Canada. It has been published as a National Standard of Canada by CSA Group.
