scope:

NEN-EN-IEC 60601-2-62 applies to the BASIC SAFETY and ESSENTIAL PERFORMANCE of HIGH INTENSITY THERAPEUTIC ULTRASOUND EQUIPMENT as defined in 201.3.218, hereafter referred to as ME EQUIPMENT. This International Standard adds or replaces clauses listed in the IEC 60601-1 that are specific for HIGH INTENSITY THERAPEUTIC ULTRASOUND 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 standard are not covered by specific requirements in this standard except in 7.2.13 and 8.4.1 of the general standard.
