Medical electrical equipment - Part 2-20: Particular requirements for the basic safety and essential performance of infant transport incubators
IEC 60601-2-20:2020 is available as IEC 60601-2-20:2020 RLV which contains the International Standard and its Redline version, showing all changes of the technical content compared to the previous edition.IEC 60601-2-20:2020 applies to the BASIC SAFETY and ESSENTIAL PERFORMANCE of INFANT TRANSPORT INCUBATOR equipment, as defined in 201.3.208, 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. IEC 60601-2-20:2020 specifies safety requirements for INFANT TRANSPORT 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: - devices supplying heat via BLANKETS, PADS or MATTRESSES in medical use; for information, see IEC 60601-2-35; - INFANT INCUBATORS which are not INFANT TRANSPORT INCUBATOR; for information see IEC 60601-2-19; - INFANT RADIANT WARMERS; for information, see IEC 60601-2-21; - INFANT PHOTOTHERAPY; for information, see IEC 60601-2-50. IEC 60601-2-20:2020 cancels and replaces the second edition published in 2009 and Amendment 1:2016. This edition constitutes a technical revision. IEC 60601-2-20:2020 includes the following significant technical change with respect to the previous edition: re-dating of normative references.

IEC 60601-2-20:2020 est disponible sous forme de IEC 60601-2-20:2020 RLV qui contient la Norme internationale et sa version Redline, illustrant les modifications du contenu technique depuis l'édition précédente.
Medicinska električna oprema - 2-20. del: Posebne zahteve za osnovno varnost in bistvene lastnosti prenosnih otroških inkubatorjev (IEC 60601-2-20:2020)
Ta del standarda IEC 60601 se uporablja za OSNOVNO VARNOST in BISTVENE LASTNOSTI opreme PRENOSNIH OTROŠKIH INKUBATORJEV, kot je določeno v točki 201.3.208, imenovanih tudi ELEKTROMEDICINSKA OPREMA.
Če je točka ali podtočka namenjena samo obravnavi ELEKTROMEDICINSKE OPREME ali ELEKTROMEDICINSKIH SISTEMOV, bo to zapisano v naslovu in vsebini točke ali podtočke. Če ni zapisano, točka ali podtočka obravnava ELEKTROMEDICINSKO OPREMO in ELEKTROMEDICINSKE SISTEME.
Posebne zahteve tega dokumenta ne vključujejo temeljnih TVEGANJ pri predvideni fiziološki funkciji ELEKTROMEDICINSKE OPREME in SISTEMOV, ki spadajo na področje uporabe tega dokumenta, razen v poglavjih 7.2.13 in 8.4.1 splošnega standarda.
OPOMBA: Glej tudi točko 4.2 splošnega standarda.
Ta standard določa varnostne zahteve za PRENOSNE OTROŠKE INKUBATORJE, vendar pa se alternativne metode skladnosti z določeno točko z dokazovanjem enake stopnje varnosti ne bodo štele za neskladne, če je PROIZVAJALEC v DOKUMENTACIJI O OBVLADOVANJU TVEGANJA dokazal, da je ugotovljeno TVEGANJE, ki ga predstavlja NEVARNOST, na sprejemljivi stopnji glede na koristi zdravljenja z napravo.
Ta standard se ne uporablja za:
– naprave, ki dovajajo toploto prek ODEJ, BLAZIN ali POSTELJNIH VLOŽKOV v medicinski uporabi, za informacije glej standard IEC 60601-2-35 [1]2;
– OTROŠKE INKUBATORJE, ki niso PRENOSNI OTROŠKI INKUBATORJI; za informacije glej standard IEC 60601-2-19 [2];
– OTROŠKE SEVALNE OGREVALNIKE; za informacije glej standard IEC 60601-2-21 [3];
– OTROŠKO FOTOTERAPEVTSKO OPREMO; za informacije glej standard IEC 60601-2-50 [4].

Part 2-20: Particular requirements for the basic safety and

FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of 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, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as "IEC
Publication(s)"). 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. 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 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 IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC provides no marking procedure to indicate its approval and cannot be rendered responsible for any
equipment declared to be in conformity with an IEC Publication.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
