English term or phrase: MALE CISS
In a list of products that a company is authorized to import, under the "Ventilator & Accesories" section:

KIT, OPTION, HELIOX, DISS
KIT, OPTION, HELIOX, NIST
KIT, OPTION, HELIOX, AIR LQD
KIT, OPTION, HELIOX, MALE CISS
FLOW SENSOR ASSY, NEO, DISP, WYE

A lot of words are abbreviated to fit the table. From that list I am assuming that:
ASSY = Assembly
NEO = Neonatal (in other items they talk about adult and ped [=pediatric])
DISP = Disposable

I can't really figure out DISS, NIST, MALE CISS, WYE AND AIR LQD but I'm going to ask a separate question for each one of those. In this case, I need help figuring out what MALE CISS means. Thanks!

Diameter Index Safety System (DISS)
The Diameter Index Safety System, or DISS, was designed by the Compressed Gas Association for medical gases at 200 psig or less. It uses unique threaded connections to fit low-flow devices to station outlets. It is also used for the connection of additional features to a low-flow device, such as in fixing a nipple to an oxygen flowmeter. Although DISS takes more time to affix, this is by far the most popular system.

Both have one DISS female hand-tight nut and two DISS male demand valves. The demand valves remain closed until a mating fitting is attached. When the mating fitting is connected the valve opens permitting bidirectional flow.

Thanks! After trying to figure out so many of these abbreviations I started getting so confused by everything. I can see now that it wasn't all in my head. Thanks for the great sources!
