Medical electrical equipment - Part 2-43: Particular requirements for the basic safety and essential performance of X-ray equipment for interventional procedures
This International Standard applies to the BASIC SAFETY and ESSENTIAL PERFORMANCE of both FIXED and MOBILE X-RAY EQUIPMENT declared by the MANUFACTURER to be suitable for RADIOSCOPICALLY GUIDED INTERVENTIONAL PROCEDURES, hereafter referred to as INTERVENTIONAL X-RAY EQUIPMENT. Its scope excludes, in particular: - equipment for RADIOTHERAPY; - equipment for COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY; - ACCESSORIES intended to be introduced into the PATIENT; - mammographic X-RAY EQUIPMENT; - dental X-RAY EQUIPMENT. NOTE 1 Examples of RADIOSCOPICALLY GUIDED INTERVENTIONAL PROCEDURES, for which the use of INTERVENTIONAL X-RAY EQUIPMENT complying with this standard is recommended, are given in Annex AA. NOTE 2 Specific requirements for magnetic navigation devices, and for the use of INTERVENTIONAL X-RAY EQUIPMENT in an operating room environment were not considered in this particular standard; therefore no specific requirements have been developed for these devices or uses. In any case, such devices or uses remain under the general clause requirements. NOTE 3 INTERVENTIONAL X-RAY EQUIPMENT, when used for cone-beam CT mode, is covered by this standard and not by IEC 60601-2-44 [2]2. No additional requirements for operation in cone-beam CT mode were identified for this standard (see also Note 4 in 203.6.4.5). INTERVENTIONAL X-RAY EQUIPMENT declared by the MANUFACTURER to be suitable for RADIOSCOPICALLY GUIDED INTERVENTIONAL PROCEDURES, which does not include a PATIENT SUPPORT as part of the system, is exempt from the PATIENT SUPPORT provisions of this standard. If a clause or subclause is specifically intended to be applicable to INTERVENTIONAL X-RAY 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 INTERVENTIONAL X-RAY EQUIPMENT and to ME SYSTEMS, as relevant. NOTE 4 See also 4.2 of the general standard. The subclauses of this standard supersede IEC 60601-2-54 subclauses. IEC 60601-2-54 applies only with regards to the cited subclauses; non-cited subclauses of IEC 60601-2-54 do not apply.

54 FOREWORD
55 1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
56 all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
57 international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
58 this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
59 Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
60 Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
61 in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
62 governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
63 with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
64 agreement between the two organizations.65 2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
66 consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
67 interested IEC National Committees.68 3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
69 Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
70 Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
71 misinterpretation by any end user.72 4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
73 transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
74 between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
75 the latter.76 5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
77 assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for a ny
78 services carried out by independent certification bodies.79 6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
80 7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
81 members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
82 other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
83 expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
84 Publications.85 8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
86 indispensable for the correct application of this publication.87 9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
88 patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
89 International standard IEC 60601-2-43 has been prepared by IEC subcommittee 62B:
90 Diagnostic imaging equipment, of IEC technical committee 62: Electrical equipment in medical
91 practice.92 This third edition constitutes a technical revision.
93 This particular standard has been revised to introduce changes to reference the second
94 amendment:2020 to IEC 60601-1:2005. The present edition remains a system standard for X-
95 RAY EQUIPMENT designed for the use during interventional procedures using X-ray imaging,
96 whether of prolonged or normal duration.97 This publication has been drafted in accordance with the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.

104 NOTED: SMALL CAPITALS.105 In referring to the structure of this standard, the term
106 – “clause” means one of the seventeen numbered divisions within the table of contents,
107 inclusive of all subdivisions (e.g. Clause 7 includes subclauses 7.1, 7.2, etc.);
108 – “subclause” means a numbered subdivision of a clause (e.g. 7.1, 7.2 and 7.2.1 are all
109 subclauses of Clause 7).110 References to clauses within this standard are preceded by the term “Clause” followed by the
111 clause number. References to subclauses within this particular standard are by number only.
112 In this standard, the conjunctive “or” is used as an “inclusive or” so a statement is true if any
113 combination of the conditions is true.114 The verbal forms used in this standard conform to usage described in Annex H of the ISO/IEC
115 Directives, Part 2. For the purposes of this standard, the auxiliary verb:116 – “shall” means that compliance with a requirement or a test is mandatory for compliance
117 with this standard;118 – “should” means that compliance with a requirement or a test is recommended but is not
119 mandatory for compliance with this standard;120 – “may” is used to describe a permissible way to achieve compliance with a requirement or
121 test.122 An asterisk (*) as the first character of a title or at the beginning of a paragraph or table title
123 indicates that there is guidance or rationale related to that item in Annex AA.

139 INTRODUCTION
140 The purpose of this new edition is to introduce changes to reference the second
141 amendment:2020 to IEC 60601-1:2005 and some minor technical clarifications.142 X-RAY EQUIPMENT for RADIOSCOPICALLY GUIDED INTERVENTIONAL PROCEDURES may subject
143 PATIENTS and OPERATORS to higher levels of RADIATION than those which normally prevail
144 during diagnostic X-ray imaging procedures. One consequence for the PATIENT may be the
145 occurrence of deterministic injury when RADIOSCOPICALLY GUIDED INTERVENTIONAL PROCEDURES
146 involve the delivery of substantial amounts of RADIATION to localized areas. Another
147 consequence can be an increased RISK of stochastic effects, such as cancer. These health
148 concerns apply also to the OPERATOR. In addition, for this particular type of equipment, there
149 is a need for availability of critical functions with minimal periods of loss.
150 RADIOSCOPICALLY GUIDED INTERVENTIONAL PROCEDURES of the type envisaged are well
151 established in clinical fields such as:152 – invasive cardiology;
153 – interventional RADIOLOGY;
154 – interventional neuroradiology.
155 These RADIOSCOPICALLY GUIDED INTERVENTIONAL PROCEDURES also include many newly
156 developing and emerging applications in a wide range of medical and surgical specialities.
157 NOTE Attention is drawn to the existence of legislation in some countries concerning RADIOLOGICAL PROTECTION,
158 which may not align with the provisions of this standard.159

168 201.1 Scope, object and related standards
169 Clause 1 of the general standard applies, except as follows:
170 201.1.1 * Scope
171 Replacement:
172 This International Standard applies to the BASIC SAFETY and ESSENTIAL PERFORMANCE of both
173 FIXED and MOBILE X-RAY EQUIPMENT declared by the MANUFACTURER to be suitable for
174 RADIOSCOPICALLY GUIDED INTERVENTIONAL PROCEDURES, hereafter referred to as175 INTERVENTIONAL X-RAY EQUIPMENT. Its scope excludes, in particular:
176 – equipment for RADIOTHERAPY;
177 – equipment for COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY;
178 – ACCESSORIES intended to be introduced into the PATIENT;
179 – mammographic X-RAY EQUIPMENT;
180 – dental X-RAY EQUIPMENT.
181 NOTE 1 Examples of RADIOSCOPICALLY GUIDED INTERVENTIONAL PROCEDURES, for which the use of INTERVENTIONAL
182 X-RAY EQUIPMENT complying with this standard is recommended, are given in Annex AA.
183 NOTE 2 Specific requirements for magnetic navigation devices, and for the use of INTERVENTIONAL X-RAY
184 EQUIPMENT in an operating room environment were not considered in this particular standard; therefore no specific
185 requirements have been developed for these devices or uses. In any case, such devi ces or uses remain under the
186 general clause requirements.187 NOTE 3 INTERVENTIONAL X-RAY EQUIPMENT, when used for cone-beam CT mode, is covered by this standard and
188 not by IEC 60601-2-44 [2] . No additional requirements for operation in cone-beam CT mode were identified for
189 this standard (see also Note 4 in 203.6.4.5).190 INTERVENTIONAL X-RAY EQUIPMENT declared by the MANUFACTURER to be suitable for
191 RADIOSCOPICALLY GUIDED INTERVENTIONAL PROCEDURES, which does not include a PATIENT
192 SUPPORT as part of the system, is exempt from the PATIENT SUPPORT provisions of this
193 standard.194 If a clause or subclause is specifically intended to be applicable to INTERVENTIONAL X-RAY
195 EQUIPMENT only, or to ME SYSTEMS only, the title and content of that clause or subclause will
196 say so. If that is not the case, the clause or subclause applies both to INTERVENTIONAL X-RAY
197 EQUIPMENT and to ME SYSTEMS, as relevant.198 NOTE 4 See also 4.2 of the general standard.
199 The subclauses of this standard supersede IEC 60601-2-54 subclauses. IEC 60601-2-54
200 applies only with regards to the cited subclauses; non-cited subclauses of IEC 60601-2-54 do
201 not apply.—————————
The general standard is IEC 60601-1:2005, IEC 60601-1:2005/AMD1:2012 and IEC 60601-1:2005/AMD2:2020,

202 201.1.2 Object
203 Replacement:
204 The object of this particular standard is:
205 – to establish particular BASIC SAFETY and ESSENTIAL PERFORMANCE requirements for the
206 design and manufacture of X-RAY EQUIPMENT for RADIOSCOPICALLY GUIDED INTERVENTIONAL
207 PROCEDURES, as defined in 201.3.205.208 – to specify information which is to be provided with such INTERVENTIONAL X-RAY EQUIPMENT
209 for the assistance of the RESPONSIBLE ORGANIZATION and OPERATOR in managing the
210 RADIATION RISK and equipment failure RISK arising from these RADIOSCOPICALLY GUIDED
211 INTERVENTIONAL PROCEDURES which could affect PATIENTS or staff.212 201.1.3 Collateral standards
213 Addition:
214 This particular standard refers to those applicable collateral standards that are listed in
215 Clause 2 of the general standard and Clause 201.2 of this particular standard.
216 IEC 60601-1-2 and IEC 60601-1-3 apply as modified in Clause 202 and Clause 203
3 ) 4 ) 5 ) 6 )217 respectively. IEC 60601-1-8 , IEC 60601-1-9 , IEC 60601-1-10 , IEC 60601-1-11 and
218 IEC 60601-1-12 do not apply. All other published collateral standards in the IEC 60601-1
219 series apply as published.220 201.1.4 Particular standards
221 Replacement:
222 In the IEC 60601 series, particular standards may modify, replace or delete requirements
223 contained in the general standard and collateral standards as appropriate for the particular
224 ME EQUIPMENT under consideration, and may add other BASIC SAFETY and ESSENTIAL
225 PERFORMANCE requirements.226 A requirement of a particular standard takes priority over the general standard.
227 For brevity, IEC 60601-1 is referred to in this particular standard as the general standard.
228 Collateral standards are referred to by their document number.229 The numbering of clauses and subclauses of this particular standard corresponds to that of
230 the general standard with the prefix “201” (e.g. 201.1 in this standard addresses the content
231 of Clause 1 of the general standard) or applicable collateral standard with the prefix “20x”
232 where x is the final digit(s) of the collateral standard document number (e.g. 202.4 in this
233 particular standard addresses the content of Clause 4 of the IEC 60601-1-2 collateral

234 standard, 203.4 in this particular standard addresses the content of Clause 4 of the
235 IEC 60601-1-3 collateral standard, etc.). The changes to the text of the general standard are
236 specified by the use of the following words:237 "Replacement" means that the clause or subclause of the general standard or applicable
238 collateral standard is replaced completely by the text of this particular standard.
239 "Addition" means that the text of this particular standard is additional to the requirements of
240 the general standard or applicable collateral standard.241 "Amendment" means that the clause or subclause of the general standard or applicable
242 collateral standard is amended as indicated by the text of this particular standard.
243 Subclauses, figures or tables which are additional to those of the general standa rd are
244 numbered starting from 201.101. However, due to the fact that definitions in the general
245 standard are numbered 3.1 through 3.139, additional definitions in this standard are numbered
246 beginning from 201.3.201. Additional annexes are lettered AA, BB, etc., and additional items
247 aa), bb), etc.248 Subclauses, figures or tables which are additional to those of a collateral standard are
249 numbered starting from 20x, where “x” is the number of the collateral standard, e.g. 202 for
250 IEC 60601-1-2, 203 for IEC 60601-1-3, etc.251 The term "this standard" is used to make reference to the general standard, any applicable
252 collateral standards and this particular standard taken together.253 Where there is no corresponding clause or subclause in this particular standard, the cla use or
254 subclause of the general standard or applicable collateral standard, although possibly not
255 relevant, applies without modification; where it is intended that any part of the general
256 standard or applicable collateral standard, although possibly relevant, is not to be applied, a
257 statement to that effect is given in this particular standard.258 201.2 Normative references
