Technical Reports, 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.

INTRODUCTION
LENS REMOVAL DEVICES and VITRECTOMY DEVICES are used widely in ophthalmology to perform
anterior-segment and posterior-segment surgery on the human eye. Commercial use of these
MEDICAL ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT devices began in the early 1970s. This International Standard
defines particular requirements for BASIC SAFETY and ESSENTIAL PERFORMANCE of LENS
REMOVAL DEVICES and VITRECTOMY DEVICES, comprising an equipment console, surgical
HANDPIECES, and ACCESSORIES connected to this ME EQUIPMENT.
In many parts of the world LENS REMOVAL DEVICES and VITRECTOMY DEVICES are used in
combination by ophthalmic surgeons to perform combined anterior-segment (lens removal)
and posterior-segment (vitreoretinal) surgical PROCEDURES to maximize surgical outcomes.
For this reason both LENS REMOVAL DEVICES and VITRECTOMY DEVICES are covered in this
International Standard.
As all particular standards in the IEC 60601-1 series are based on the general standard
IEC 60601-1:2005, the user of this standard is reminded that RISK MANGEMENT plays an
important role in the use of this particular standard. Compliance with the requirements of this
particular standard should be documented in the RISK MANAGEMENT FILE to ensure the HAZARDS
associated with the product have been considered fully.

MEDICAL ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT –
Part 2-58: Particular requirements for the basic safety
and essential performance of lens removal devices
and vitrectomy devices for ophthalmic surgery
201.1 Scope, object and related standards
1)
Clause 1 of the general standard applies, except as follows:
201.1.1 Scope
Replacement:
BASIC SAFETY and ESSENTIAL PERFORMANCE of LENS
This International Standard applies to the
REMOVAL DEVICES and VITRECTOMY DEVICES for ophthalmic surgery (as defined in 201.3.208
and 201.3.217) and associated ACCESSORIES that can be connected to this MEDICAL
ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT, hereafter 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 standard are not covered by specific requirements in this standard
except in 7.2.13 and 8.4.1 of the general standard.
NOTE See also 4.2 of the general standard.
201.1.2 Object
Replacement:
The object of this particular standard is to establish particular BASIC SAFETY and ESSENTIAL
PERFORMANCE requirements for LENS REMOVAL DEVICES and VITRECTOMY DEVICES for ophthalmic
surgery (as defined in 201.3.208 and 201.3.217) and associated ACCESSORIES that can be
connected to the ME EQUIPMENT and are to be tested together or individually.
201.1.3 Collateral standards
Addition:
This particular standard refers to those applicable collateral standards that are listed in
Clause 2 of IEC 60601-1 and Clause 201.2 of this particular standard.
IEC 60601-1-2 applies as modified in Clause 202. All other published collateral standards in
the IEC 60601-1 series apply as published.
201.1.4 Particular standards
Replacement:
—————————
1)
The general standard is IEC 60601-1:2005, Medical electrical equipment – Part 1: General requirements for
basic safety and essential performance.
---------------------- Page: 8 ----------------------
80601-2-58 © IEC:2008 – 7 –
In the IEC 60601 series, particular standards may modify, replace or delete requirements
contained in the general standard as appropriate for the particular ME EQUIPMENT under
consideration, and may add other BASIC SAFETY and ESSENTIAL PERFORMANCE requirements.
A requirement of a particular standard takes priority over the general standard.
For brevity, IEC 60601-1 is referred to in this particular standard as the “general standard”.
Collateral standards are referred to by their document number.
The numbering of clauses and subclauses of this particular standard corresponds to that of
the general standard with the prefix “201” (e.g. 201.1 in this standard addresses the content
of Clause 1 of the general standard) or applicable collateral standard with the prefix “20x”
where x is the final digit(s) of the collateral standard document number (e.g. 202.4 in this
particular standard addresses the content of Clause 4 of the 60601-1-2 collateral standard,
203.4 in this particular standard addresses the content of Clause 4 of the 60601-1-3 collateral
standard, etc.). The changes to the text of the general standard are specified by the use of
the following words:
”Replacement” means that the clause or subclause of the general standard or applicable
collateral 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 or applicable collateral standard.
“Amendment” means that the clause or subclause of the general standard or applicable
collateral 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 201.101. However due to the fact that definitions in the general standard are
numbered 3.1 through 3.139, additional definitions in this standard are numbered beginning
from 201.3.201. Additional annexes are lettered AA, BB, etc., and additional items aa), bb),
etc.
Subclauses or figures which are additional to those of a collateral standard are numbered
starting from 20x, where “x” is the number of the collateral standard, e.g. 202 for IEC 60601-
1-2, 203 for IEC 60601-1-3, etc.
The term “this standard” is used to make reference to the general standard, any applicable
collateral standards and this particular standard taken together.
Where there is no corresponding clause or subclause in this particular standard, the clause or
subclause of the general standard or applicable collateral standard, although possibly not
relevant, applies without modification; where it is intended that any part of the general
standard or applicable collateral standard, although possibly relevant, is not to be applied, a
statement to that effect is given in this particular standard.
