_____________

INTRODUCTION TO AMENDMENT 2
The purpose of this second amendment to IEC 60601-2-54:2009 is to introduce changes
which take the current state of the art into account. Therefore, X-RAY EQUIPMENT specified for
DIRECT RADIOSCOPY is no longer in the scope of this document. The normative references were
also updated in this amendment, and editorial clarifications and new terms and definitions
were added. Provisions for QUALITY CONTROL PROCEDURES to be recommended by the
MANUFACTURER are emphasized. Specific attention is paid to EXAMINATION PROTOCOLS in a new
subclause which differentiate between adult and paediatric applications, in particular for
X-RAY EQUIPMENT without an AUTOMATIC CONTROL SYSTEM. In addition, fixed periods for
termination of LOADING after release of the RADIATION control by the OPERATOR are stipulated
for RADIOSCOPY.
A new subclause on electronic documentation of EXAMINATION PROTOCOLS is introduced. It
recommends providing access to electronic documentation containing relevant parameters of
the PRE-PROGRAMMED EXAMINATION PROTOCOL. In another new subclause, the creation of basic
documentation of the RADIATION DOSE STRUCTURED REPORT (RDSR) according to IEC 61910-1 is
recommended. Furthermore, the subclause describing the LAST IMAGE HOLD RADIOGRAM has
been revised and requires that the last image in RADIOSCOPY be displayed rather than provide
just a means to display it.
This amendment recommends providing a graphical DISPLAY of the position of the BEAM
LIMITING DEVICE blades on the IMAGE DISPLAY DEVICE in the subclause "Indication on the X-RAY
EQUIPMENT".

Finally, the requirement for providing means to limit the FOCAL SPOT TO SKIN DISTANCES for
radioscopic X-RAY EQUIPMENT differentiates between MOBILE and FIXED EQUIPMENT and
extends, in the latter case, the minimum distance in possible clinical applications.
