Description of BS 7088:1989 1989This British Standard specifies constructional, safety and performance requirements for pneumatic tourniquet equipment. It covers manually inflated tourniquets, such as those provided with rubber bulbs or piston pumps. It also covers powered tourniquets, such as those provided with an integral source of compressed or liquefied gas or a connection to an external supply of compressed gas, either from a cylinder or from a piped medical gas supply in a hospital. It includes fully automatic tourniquet equipment which inflates the cuff to a set pressure and thereafter compensates for pressure losses, semi-automatic tourniquet equipment that inflates the cuff to a set pressure but does not compensate for subsequent pressure losses, and non-automatic tourniquet equipment. It does not cover tourniquet equipment which includes an integral electrically driven air pump (see BSÂ 5724-1).
Covers both manual and powered tourniquets whether automatic or non-automatic, but excluding electrically powered equipment. Specifies cuffs, hoses, pressure gauges and performance. Appendix gives recommendations on distribution of pressure exerted on arm or leg.
