IEC 60601-1-11:2010 pdf free download Medical electrical equipment – Part 1-11: General requirements for basic safety and essential performance – Collateral Standard: Requirements for medical electrical equipment and medical electrical systems used in the home healthcare environment
1 scope, object and related standards
1.1 * Scope
This International Standard applies to the BASIC SAFETY and ESSENTIAL PERFORMANCE ofMEDICAL ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT and MEDICAL ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS,hereafter referred to asME EQUIPMENT and ME sYSTEMS,which are intended by their MANUFACTURER for use in theHOME HEALTHCARE ENVIRONMENT, as defined in 3.2, regardless of whether the ME EQUIPMENT orME SYSTEM is intended for use by a LAY OPERATOR or by trained healthcare personnel.
NOTE1 HOME HEALTHCARE ENVIRONMENT MEEQUIPMENT and ME SYSTEMs can also be intended for use in otherenvironments, for example, in a professional healthcare facility.
This International Standard does not apply to ME EQUIPMENT and ME sYSTEMs intended solelyfor use by emergency medical services or solely for use in professional healthcare facilities.
NOTE 2 HOME HEALTHCARE ENVIRONMENT ME EQUIPMENT and ME SYSTEMS can frequently be used in locations withunreliable electrical sources and poor electrical grounding.
1.2object
The object of this collateral standard is to specify general requirements that are in addition tothose of the general standard and to serve as the basis for particular standards.
1.3Related standards
1.3.1 IEC 60601-1
For ME EQUIPMENT and ME sYSTEMS, this collateral standard complements lEC 60601-1.
When referring to lEC 60601-1 or to this collateral standard,either individually or incombination, the following conventions are used:
“the general standard” designates lEC 60601-1 alone;
“this collateral standard” designates lEC 60601-1-11 alone;
“this standard” designates the combination of the general standard and this collateralstandard.
