Dräger Adapter AIR, NIST to DISS Gas Connection

The Dräger Adapter AIR converts a NIST (Non-Interchangeable Screw Thread) medical air connection to a DISS (Diameter Index Safety System) fitting. It allows a workstation configured for one national gas connection standard to be joined to a pipeline outlet or hose assembly built to the other, keeping the gas-specific indexing intact so an air line cannot be coupled to an oxygen or nitrous oxide port.

The adapter is listed for intensive care, neonatal intensive care and operating room use across adult, paediatric and neonatal patients, and belongs to the Atlan device family. Documented compatibility covers the Atlan A100, A100 XL, A300, A300 XL, A350 and A350 XL workstations along with Primus and Primus IE.

It is fitted at the gas supply side of the machine, typically during installation, relocation between theatres, or commissioning in a facility whose pipeline terminal units use a different standard from the delivered machine. Because the documented compatibility spans several device generations, confirm the model and configuration in service against the Dräger documentation for that machine before raising an order.

In practice the item is held as Intensive Care, Neonatal Intensive Care and Operating Room stock. Order by Dräger part number M34877, GTIN 4048675294993, country of origin Germany. HumaNova supplies Dräger medical gas connection accessories to hospitals, clinics and laboratories across the UAE and the GCC.

Confirm the pipeline standard at the terminal unit and the connection type on the workstation when you enquire, so the direction of the conversion is matched correctly. This part is quoted on request: send an RFQ with the part number and quantity and the HumaNova team will issue a written quotation.

Country of origin is recorded as Germany. Where a department is standardising, it helps to send the full list of machines to be covered so each line is quoted against the right variant.
