MEDICAL ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT –
Part 2: Particular requirements for the safety of equipment
for extracorporeally induced lithotripsy
FOREWORD
1) The IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) is a worldwide organization for standardization
comprising all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of the IEC is to
promote international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic
fields. To this end and in addition to other activities, the IEC publishes International Standards. Their
preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt
with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations
liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. The IEC collaborates closely with the International
Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the
two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of the IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an
international consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation
from all interested National Committees.
3) The documents produced have the form of recommendations for international use and are published in the
form of standards, technical reports or guides and they are accepted by the National Committees in that
sense.
4) In order to promote international unification, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC International
Standards transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional standards. Any
divergence between the IEC Standard and the corresponding national or regional standard shall be clearly
indicated in the latter.
5) The IEC provides no marking procedure to indicate its approval and cannot be rendered responsible for any
equipment declared to be in conformity with one of its standards.
6) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this International Standard may be the
subject of patent rights. The IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard IEC 60601-2-36 has been prepared by subcommittee 62D:
Electromedical equipment, of IEC technical committee 62: Electrical equipment in medical
practice.
The text of this Particular Standard is based on the following documents:
FDIS Report on voting
62D/211/FDIS 62D/231/RVD
Full information on the voting for the approval of this Particular Standard can be found in the
report on voting indicated in the above table.
Annex AA is for information only.
In this Particular Standard the following print types are used:
– requirements, compliance with which can be tested, and definitions: in roman type;
– notes, explanations, advice, introductions, general statements, exceptions and references: in smaller type;
– test specifications: in italic type;
– TERMS USED THROUGHOUT THIS PARTICULAR STANDARD WHICH HAVE BEEN DEFINED IN
CLAUSE 2 AND IN IEC 601-1: SMALL CAPITALS.
60601-2-36 © IEC:1997 – 7 –
INTRODUCTION
This Particular Standard supplements IEC 601-1 (second edition, 1988) Medical electrical
equipment – Part 1: General requirements for safety, and its amendments 1 (1991) and
2 (1995), hereinafter referred to as the General Standard (see 1.3).
The requirements are followed by specifications for the relevant tests.
Following the decision taken by subcommittee 62D at the meeting in Washington in 1979, a
"General guidance and rationale" section giving some explanatory notes, where appropriate,
about the more important requirements is included in annex AA.
Clauses or subclauses for which there are explanatory notes in annex AA are marked with an
asterisk (*).
It is considered that a knowledge of the reasons for these requirements will not only facilitate
the proper application of the Standard but will, in due course, expedite any revision
necessitated by changes in clinical practice or as a result of developments in technology.
However, this annex does not form part of the requirements of this Standard.

MEDICAL ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT –
Part 2: Particular requirements for the safety of equipment
for extracorporeally induced lithotripsy
SECTION ONE: GENERAL
The clauses and subclauses of this section of the General Standard apply except as follows:
1 Scope and object
This clause of the General Standard applies except as follows:
1.1 Scope
Addition:
This Particular Standard applies to the safety of EQUIPMENT FOR EXTRACORPOREALLY INDUCED
LITHOTRIPSY
as defined in 2.1.101.
The applicability of this Particular Standard is limited to components directly involved in the
LITHOTRIPSY treatment, such as, but not limited to, the generator of the PRESSURE PULSE,
PATIENT support device, and their interactions with imaging and monitoring devices. Other
devices, such as PATIENT treatment planning computers, X-ray and ultrasonic devices, are
excluded from this Standard, because they are treated in other applicable IEC standards.
While this Particular Standard has been developed for EQUIPMENT intended for use in
LITHOTRIPSY, it has been developed such that, as long as no other specific standards are
available to be used for other medical applications of therapeutic extracorporeal PRESSURE
PULSE equipment, this Standard may be used as a guideline.
1.2 Object
Addition:
This Particular Standard specifies requirements for the safety of EQUIPMENT for EXTRA-
CORPOREALLY INDUCED LITHOTRIPSY.
1.3 Particular Standards
Addition:
This Particular Standard refers to IEC 601-1 (1988): Medical electrical equipment – Part 1:
General requirements for safety, and its amendments 1 (1991) and 2 (1995).
For brevity, Part 1 is referred to in this Particular Standard either as the "General Standard" or
as the "General Requirement(s)".
The numbering of sections, clauses and subclauses of this Particular Standard corresponds to
that of the General Standard. The changes to the text of the General Standard are specified by
the use of the following words:
60601-2-36 © IEC:1997 – 11 –
"Replacement" means that the clause or subclause of the General Standard is replaced
completely by the text of this Particular Standard.
"Addition" means that the text of this Particular Standard is additional to the requirements of
the General Standard.
"Amendment" means that the clause or subclause of the General Standard is amended as
indicated by the text of this Particular Standard.
Subclauses or figures which are additional to those of the General Standard are numbered
starting from 101, additional annexes are lettered AA, BB, etc., and additional items aa), bb),
etc.
The term "this Standard" is used to make reference to the General Standard and this Particular
Standard taken together.
The requirements of this Particular Standard take priority over those of the General Standard.
Where there is no corresponding section, clause or subclause in this Particular Standard, the
section, clause or subclause of the General Standard applies without modification.
Where it is intended that part of the General Standard, although possibly applicable, should not
apply to EQUIPMENT FOR EXTRACORPOREALLY INDUCED LITHOTRIPSY, this is indicated in this
Particular Standard.
If equipment such as lasers or explosive agents are used for the generation of extracorporeally
induced PRESSURE PULSES, additional reference is made to the applicable Particular Standards.
