INTRODUCTION
This amendment is applicable to equipment for multi-source STEREOTACTIC treatment including
radiosurgery and RADIOTHERAPY (MSSR). STEREOTAXIS is defined as a method for locating
points within the human body using an external three-dimensional frame of reference.
•••• Though multi-source STEREOTACTIC RADIOTHERAPY equipment is included in the scope of
this part of IEC 60601, some requirements and definitions have turned out to be
inadequate for current equipment of this very special type. This amendment introduces
new terminology in this area.
Modifications to test principles or procedures have not been considered.

1.1 Scope
bb)
Add, after the existing text , the following new paragraph:
This standard applies also to multi-source STEREOTACTIC RADIOTHERAPY equipment used to
IRRADIATE a single ISOCENTRE simultaneously with more than one SEALED RADIOACTIVE SOURCE.
The sources may be stationary or moving.

2 Terminology and definitions
Replace the existing text of definitions 2.101 and 2.102 by the following:
2.101
BEAM OFF
condition in which the RADIATION SOURCES are fully shielded, and are also in a position in
which they can be secured
2.102
BEAM ON
condition in which the RADIATION SOURCES are fully exposed for RADIOTHERAPY
Add, on page 19, the following new definitions:
2.122
HELMET
three-dimensional multi-source ISOCENTRIC BEAM LIMITING SYSTEM (MIBLS) used in MSSR for
treatment of a human head
2.123
REPOSITIONING

intended treatment volume
2.124
REPOSITIONING POINT
retracted position of the MIBLS where REPOSITIONING of the frame is possible
2.125
REPOSITIONING TIME
added time the equipment needs to move from the BEAM ON condition to the REPOSITIONING
POINT, to achieve REPOSITIONING and to return from the REPOSITIONING POINT to the BEAM ON
condition
2.126
STEREOTAXIS
STEREOTACTIC
method for locating points within the human body using an external, three-dimensional frame
of reference
2.127
TRANSITION TIME

TREATMENT position
2.128
TRANSITION RADIATION
dose received during the TRANSITION TIME
