Overview
SIST EN ISO 80601-2-13:2022/A1:2026 is an amendment to the international standard for medical electrical equipment, specifically focused on anaesthetic workstations. Developed collaboratively by ISO, IEC, and CEN, this amendment details revised and additional requirements for the basic safety and essential performance of anaesthetic workstations. It emphasizes compatibility with Oxygen 90+ gas mixtures, enhanced safety controls, new definitions, and considerations for cybersecurity and information to be supplied by manufacturers.
This amendment is especially relevant for manufacturers, clinical engineers, healthcare facilities, and regulatory bodies dedicated to ensuring the reliable and safe operation of modern anaesthesia systems.
Key Topics
- Essential Safety Requirements: Reinforcement of basic safety and essential performance principles for anaesthetic workstations, including updated definitions for essential function, system recovery, and firecall procedures.
- Oxygen 90+ Compatibility: Introduction and criteria for Oxygen 90+ (O₂≥90%, Ar≤5%, N₂≤10%, low impurities) as a supply gas. Workstations must now clearly indicate compatibility or restrictions.
- System Recovery Protocols: Guidance on automatic system recovery following faults, including alarm requirements during loss or reduction of ventilation and ensuring patient safety through manual ventilation options.
- Information Requirements: Requirement for manufacturers to conform to ISO 20417:2021 for documentation, marking, labelling, and instructions, especially related to Oxygen 90+ compatibility.

waste volatile anaesthetic agent capture system
system that collects and stores waste volatile anaesthetic agents from the exhaust port of a breathing
system
201.4
Add the following subclause:
201.4.3.101 System recovery
NOTE 1 There is guidance or rationale for this subclause contained in Clause AA.
a) Following a malfunction, the anaesthetic workstation should perform a system recovery to attempt
to restore essential performance of the anaesthetic workstation.
NOTE 2 An anaesthetic workstation or a subassembly function can become disturbed by a malfunction that
can jeopardize the essential performance of the anaesthetic workstation. Without system recovery, the
patient would have to be disconnected and connected to an alternative means of ventilation or gas delivery.
Ventilation or gas delivery would thus be interrupted until an alternative means of ventilation or gas
delivery is connected. System recovery, as specified in this subclause, attempts to automatically re-establish
ventilation or gas delivery in a shorter period. If necessary, the anaesthetic workstation can be replaced
later when it has fewer consequences for the patient´s therapy.
b) System recovery can result in the temporary:
1) cessation in the ventilation or gas delivery leading to risk of harm; or
2) reduction in the function of anaesthetic workstation subassemblies without cessation of
ventilation or gas delivery.
EXAMPLE The temporary blanking of the display.
ISO 80601-2-13:2022/Amd 1:2026(en)
c) During a system recovery with a cessation of ventilation or gas delivery that can lead to a
hazardous situation:
1) the anaesthetic workstation shall allow spontaneous patient breathing. Manual ventilation shall
be available within 15 s in accordance with 201.102.12; and
NOTE 3 During a system recovery, there can be a short period where manual ventilation is not possible
because the pneumatic system may have to be restarted by the anaesthetic workstation.
2) the anaesthetic workstation shall be equipped with an alarm system to indicate system recovery
with a cessation of ventilation or gas delivery.
i) The alarm condition for a system recovery with a cessation of ventilation or gas delivery
shall be high priority or may be an alternative alarm signal. The type of alternative
alarm signal or alarm condition delay and alarm signal generation delay for the alarm
signal shall be documented in the risk management file.
d) During a system recovery without a cessation of ventilation or gas delivery, the anaesthetic
workstation shall be equipped with an alarm system to indicate system recovery without a
cessation of ventilation or gas delivery.
1) The alarm condition for system recovery without a cessation of ventilation or gas delivery shall
be at least low priority with an auditory alarm signal or may be an alternative alarm signal. The
type of alternative alarm signal or alarm condition delay and alarm signal generation delay for
the alarm signal shall be documented in the risk management file.
e) Following a system recovery without operator intervention, the anaesthetic workstation shall
attempt to operate with the same system configuration settings, ventilation or gas delivery
settings and alarm settings as before the system recovery.
1) If ventilation settings, gas delivery settings or alarm settings are different after the system
recovery, the anaesthetic workstation alarm system shall indicate any change in settings.
2) The alarm generated shall be at least medium priority.
f) The duration of a system recovery with a cessation of ventilation or gas delivery should be as short
as practicable to avoid an unacceptable risk to the patient and shall be documented in the risk
management file.
g) The maximum duration of a system recovery of ventilation or gas delivery shall be disclosed in the
instructions for use.
Check conformance by inspection of the instructions for use, inspection of the risk management file and
functional testing.

Oxygen 90+ with restrictions shall be rated conditionally compatible with Oxygen 90+, see
201.7.9.2.101, ii).
An Oxygen 90+ compatibility marking shall be placed on the anaesthetic workstation, next to the gas
supply connectors. A single marking may be sufficient to cover all components that are described in
the instructions for use of the anaesthetic workstation. Additional markings can be required by risk
management, e.g. to inform the operator.
NOTE Symbols for the marking of compatibility with Oxygen 90+ have been proposed for inclusion in ISO
7000.

201.12.4.101*
Replace the text in list item a) by the following:
a) A means of protection against accidental adjustment of operating controls that can create a
hazardous situation shall be provided. This includes:
deactivating fresh gas flow to a patient permanently (i.e. not reactivating without user
interaction);
deactivating the anaesthetic vapour delivery system permanently (i.e. not reactivating
without user interaction);
activating the standby mode of an anaesthetic workstation;
accidental turning off of the anaesthetic workstation or its individual components.
The means for preventing an accidental adjustment shall be single fault safe.
The means preventing the accidental adjustment as listed above shall be analysed and documented
in the risk management file.
EXAMPLE 1 Requiring a confirmation step can be one method. The same confirmation step as for any other
adjustment will possibly not be appropriate.
NOTE 1 Logging of each single operator adjustment leading to permanent deactivation of fresh gas flow or
vapour delivery, activation of the standby mode or turning off the anaesthetic workstation or its individual
components can help investigating adverse events.
ISO 80601-2-13:2022/Amd 1:2026(en)
NOTE 2 Detecting patient breathing activity during standby or when no fresh gas is being delivered to the
patient and announcing an alarm signal (e.g. optical and acoustical with a high volume level) can help to prevent
adverse outcomes in such situations.
Add list item d) before the conformance check:
d) If an anaesthetic workstation is equipped with a manual configuration for use with Oxygen 90+,
the configuration shall be protected from unintended use.
NOTE 3 The configuration can be protected e.g. by the use of a password. A configuration that does not match the

201.14.102 Cybersecurity capabilities of an anaesthetic workstation
a) An anaesthetic workstation should contribute to the safe operation related to cybersecurity.
b) Risk control measures as specified in IEC/TR 60601-4-5:2021, Clauses 4 to 7, should be implemented, as
appropriate, with the following additions to IEC/TR 60601-4-5:2021, 4.6.3.
1) Essential function: Data interfaces to an IT-network connection can be subject to attack (via
physical or logical disconnection). After disconnection of all data interfaces, if it is necessary to
restart the anaesthetic workstation, all clinical functions except the affected remote functionality
should be in place and operate as intended.
2) Firecall functions: As an anaesthetic workstation is used with healthcare professional operator
supervision, the user interface need not require authentication for operators and thus need not
ISO 80601-2-13:2022/Amd 1:2026(en)
require firecall functions. If authentication for operators to operator accessible settings is in place
also for the user interface, a firecall function should be able to overrule that operator
authentication combined with a log entry protected against modifications by the operator (i.e.
responsible organization log). IT-network interfaces including those for remote access typically
require authentication but should not include firecall functions.
3) Target security level SL-T: For user interfaces and for remote setting of clinical functions, the
expected security level of SL-T, as specified in IEC/TR 60601-4-5:2021, is 1 or better.
Authentication is not required for operators of the user interface of the anaesthetic workstation.
Authentication is required for remote access through a data interface. The expected security
level of SL-T, as specified in IEC/TR 60601-4-5:2021, is 2 or better for secure updates or
restorage of software, remotely or locally.

12 © ISO 2026 – All rights reserved
ISO 80601-2-13:2022/Amd 1:2026(en)
b) Adjustable pressure limit protection devices shall ensure that under normal condition the
pressure at the patient connection port does not exceed the operator-set maximum value by
1) during any automatic ventilation mode:
— more than 15 % or 10 hPa (10 cmH2O), whichever is greater, with a fresh gas flow of
air ≤25 l/min (STPD conditions);
— more than 20 % or 15 hPa (15 cmH2O), whichever is greater, with 5 l/min fresh gas
flow of air (STPD conditions) and the maximum oxygen flush of the anaesthetic

2O), whichever is greater, with a fresh gas flow of
— more than 15 % or 10 hPa (10 cmH
air ≤25 l/min (STPD conditions);
— more than 20 % or 20 hPa (20 cmH2O), whichever is greater, with 5 l/min fresh gas
flow of air (STPD conditions) and the maximum oxygen flush of the anaesthetic
workstation.
NOTE 1 25 l/min is considered to be a maximum continuous fresh gas flow.
NOTE 2 During automatic ventilation, the O2 flush is not synchronized with an inspiration or expiration
phase. During manual ventilation, the operator presses the breathing bag to apply an inspiratory breathing
stroke and would have to press the O2 flush at the same time to cause an increase of pressure to the given
maximum pressure.
NOTE 3 The maximum O flush can be 75 l/min Oxygen or Oxygen 90+ (STPD conditions) or can be limited to
a lower value if the anaesthetic gas delivery system is integrated in the anaesthetic workstation.
NOTE 4 A fresh gas flow of 5 l/min is considered to be a high but reasonable fresh gas flow for an adult with
a minute volume of 5 l/min in automatic and manual ventilation (see table 201.105).
