Introduction
Oxygen supplementation can be part of management of patients with chronic, acute-on-chronic or acute
respiratory disorders. The amount of supplemental oxygen depends on the individual patient’s needs
under various conditions. The managing healthcare team typically prescribes the endpoint of treatment,
for example a target value for oxygen saturation. The amount of supplemental oxygen can be controlled
by the flowrate.
The goal of long-term oxygen therapy is to keep the oxygen saturation above a target value in patients
that require supplemental oxygen. The flowrate should be adjusted for rest, exertion and sleep to meet
the individual patient’s needs under these various conditions. Ideally, the resting flowrate is adjusted to
maintain SpO greater than the target value as indicated by pulse oximetry.
2
Supplemental oxygen is supplied by various sources: medical gas pipeline systems, oxygen concentrators,
compressed gas cylinders and liquid oxygen reservoirs. Oxygen concentrators produce oxygen-enriched
air from room air for delivery to a patient requiring oxygen therapy. The most common oxygen
concentrator uses molecular sieve beds to filter and concentrate oxygen molecules from the ambient air,
generating oxygen concentrations of typically 90 % to 96 %. The main component of this type of oxygen
concentrator is the molecular sieve, which adsorbs nitrogen from air to produce a product gas, which is
a mixture of typically up to 95 % oxygen and 5 % of other gases. The periodic adsorbing and purging of
nitrogen is referred to as the pressure swing adsorption process.
Long-term oxygen therapy has been demonstrated in randomized, controlled clinical trials to prolong
survival in patients with chronic respiratory disease and documented hypoxemia. Typical sources of
therapeutic long-term oxygen therapy include gaseous oxygen from cylinders or from liquid oxygen and
oxygen from an oxygen concentrator.
In this document, the following print types are used:
— requirements and definitions: roman type;
— test specifications and terms defined in Clause 3 of the general standard, in this particular document
or as noted: italic type; and
— informative material appearing outside of tables, such as notes, examples and references: in smaller type.
Normative text of tables is also in a smaller type.
In referring to the structure of this document, the term.
— “clause” means one of the three numbered divisions within the table of contents, inclusive of all
subdivisions (e.g. Clause 201 includes subclauses 201.7, 201.8, etc.); and
— “subclause” means a numbered subdivision of a clause (e.g. 201.7, 201.8 and 201.9 are all
subclauses of Clause 201).
References to clauses within this document are preceded by the term “Clause” followed by the clause
number. References to subclauses within this particular document are by number only.
In this document, the conjunctive “or” is used as an “inclusive or” so a statement is true if any
combination of the conditions is true.

IEC 60601-1-11:2015+AMD1:2020 apply as modified in Clauses 202, 206 and 211 respectively.
IEC 60601-1-3:2008+AMD1:2013 does not apply. All other published collateral standards in the
IEC 60601-1 series apply as published.
201.1.4 Particular standards
Replacement:
In the IEC 60601 series, particular standards define basic safety and essential performance requirements,
and may modify, replace or delete requirements contained in the general standard and collateral
standards as appropriate for the particular ME equipment under consideration.
A requirement of a particular standard takes priority over the general standard.
For brevity, IEC 60601-1+AMD1:2012+AMD2:2020 is referred to in this document as the general
standard. Collateral standards are referred to by their document number.
The numbering of clauses and subclauses of this document corresponds to that of the general standard
with the prefix “201” (e.g. 201.1 in this document addresses the content of Clause 1 of the general
standard) or applicable collateral standard with the prefix “20x”, where x is the final digit(s) of the

collateral standard document number (e.g. 202.4 in this document addresses the content of Clause 4 of
the IEC 60601-1-2 collateral standard, 211.4 in this document addresses the content of Clause 4 of the
IEC 60601-1-11collateral standard, etc.). The changes to the text of the general standard are specified
by the use of the following words.
— "Replacement" means that the clause or subclause of the general standard or applicable collateral
standard is replaced completely by the text of this document.
— "Addition" means that the text of this document is additional to the requirements of the general
standard or applicable collateral standard.
— "Amendment" means that the clause or subclause of the general standard or applicable collateral
standard is amended as indicated by the text of this document.
Clauses, subclauses, figures or tables which are additional to those of the general standard are
numbered starting from 201.101. However, due to the fact that definitions in the general standard are
numbered 3.1 through 3.147, additional definitions in this document are numbered beginning from
201.3.201. Additional annexes are lettered AA, BB, etc., and additional items aa), bb), etc.
Subclauses, figures or tables which are additional to those of a collateral standard are numbered
starting from 20x, where “x” is the number of the collateral standard, e.g. 202 for IEC 60601-1-2, 211 for
IEC 60601-1-11, etc.
The term "this document" is used to make reference to the general standard, any applicable collateral
standards and this particular document taken together.
Where there is no corresponding clause or subclause in this document, the clause or subclause of the
general standard or applicable collateral standard, although possibly not relevant, applies without
modification; where it is intended that any part of the general standard or applicable collateral standard,
although possibly relevant, is not to be applied, a statement to that effect is given in this document.
