Rail systems for supporting medical equipment (ISO 19054:2005)
Abstract
ISO 19054:2005 specifies basic requirements to ensure compatibility between rail systems complying with this International Standard and medical equipment in order to facilitate the transfer of medical equipment from one rail system to another. The specifications for rail systems include dimensions, strength and information to be supplied by the manufacturer.
ISO 19054:2005 applies only to rail systems intended to be mounted horizontally.
ISO 19054:2005 does not specify either the structures to which a rail system can be attached or the types of medical equipment that can be supported nor does it apply to overhead rail systems for supporting curtains and infusion devices.
