Medical electrical equipment – Part 2-19: Particular requirements for the basic safety and essential performance of infant incubators

active, Most Current
Organization: IEC
Publication Date: 1 November 2023
Status: active
Page Count: 184
ICS Code (Anaesthetic, respiratory and reanimation equipment): 11.040.10
scope:

This part of IEC 60601 applies to the BASIC SAFETY and ESSENTIAL PERFORMANCE of INFANT INCUBATORS, as defined in 201.3.209, also referred to as ME EQUIPMENT.

If a clause or subclause is specifically intended to be applicable to ME EQUIPMENT only, or to ME SYSTEMS only, the title and content of that clause or subclause will say so. If that is not the case, the clause or subclause applies both to ME EQUIPMENT and to ME SYSTEMS, as relevant.

HAZARDS inherent in the intended physiological function of ME EQUIPMENT or ME SYSTEMS within the scope of this document are not covered by specific requirements in this document, except in 7.2.13 and 8.4.1 of the general standard.

NOTE See also 4.2 of the general standard.

This particular standard specifies safety requirements for INFANT INCUBATORS, but alternate methods of compliance with a specific clause, by demonstrating equivalent safety, will not be judged as non-compliant, if the MANUFACTURER has demonstrated in his RISK MANAGEMENT FILE that the RISK presented by the HAZARD has been found to be of an acceptable level when weighed against the benefit of treatment from the device.

This particular standard does not apply to:

- INFANT TRANSPORT INCUBATORS; for information, see IEC 60601-2-20 [1]2;

- INFANT RADIANT WARMERS; for information, see IEC 60601-2-21 [2];

- devices supplying heat via BLANKETS, PADS or MATTRESSES in medical use; for information, see IEC 60601-2-35 [3];

- INFANT PHOTOTHERAPY EQUIPMENT; for information see IEC 60601-2-50 [4].

SKIN TEMPERATURE SENSORS which are applied to operate a BABY CONTROLLED INCUBATOR including the displayed value are not considered to be a CLINICAL THERMOMETER in the sense of the particular standard ISO 80601-2-56.
