Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or
on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www.iso.org/patents).
Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not
constitute an endorsement.

ISO 23372:2022(E)
Introduction
Air entrainment devices, commonly known as venturi masks, are used to provide a known concentration
of oxygen to a patient at a known set flow. This is achieved by driving the oxygen through a controlled
diameter orifice and entraining room air through side openings These devices are available in various
concentrations and can ensure continuity over a long period of time within relatively close limits of
accuracy.
However, the use of these devices does not guarantee that the patient receives the designated oxygen
concentration as there are physiological factors such as the patient’s ventilatory pattern, lung
compliance and airway resistance, and physical factors such as the fit of the mask, movement by the
[2]
patient, etc .

INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 23372:2022(E)
Anaesthetic and respiratory equipment — Air entrainment
devices
1 Scope
This document specifies minimum performance and safety requirements for air entrainment devices
used for delivery of designated oxygen concentrations to patients. It provides a test method to check
the accuracy of the oxygen concentration in the air/oxygen mixture generated by the air entrainment
devices. Air entrainment devices can be fixed to deliver a single oxygen concentration or adjustable, to
deliver a range of oxygen concentration outputs.
This document also specifies marking requirements and recommends an optional system of colour
coding to assist the user in identifying the designated oxygen concentration.
This document does not cover air entrainment devices which are integral with medical devices specified
in other standards (e.g. emergency lung ventilators, humidifiers, nebulizers).
