Medical electrical equipment - Part 2-30: Particular requirements for the basic safety and essential performance of automated non-invasive sphygmomanometers (IEC 80601-2-30:2009 + corrigendum Jan. 2010)

This International Standard applies to the BASIC SAFETY and ESSENTIAL PERFORMANCE of AUTOMATED SPHYGMOMANOMETERS, hereafter referred to as ME EQUIPMENT, which by means of an inflatable CUFF, are used for intermittent indirect measurement of the BLOOD PRESSURE without arterial puncture. This standard specifies requirements for the BASIC SAFETY and ESSENTIAL PERFORMANCE for this ME EQUIPMENT and its ACCESSORIES, including the requirements for the accuracy of a DETERMINATION. This standard covers electrically-powered intermittent, indirect measurement of the BLOOD PRESSURE without arterial puncture, ME EQUIPMENT with automatic methods for estimating BLOOD PRESSURE, including BLOOD PRESSURE monitors for the HOME HEALTHCARE ENVIRONMENT. Requirements for indirect measurement of the BLOOD PRESSURE without arterial puncture ME EQUIPMENT with an electrically-powered PRESSURE TRANSDUCER and/or displays used in conjunction with a stethoscope or other manual methods for determining BLOOD PRESSURE (NON-AUTOMATED SPHYGMOMANOMETERS) are specified in document ISO 81060-1. 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 201.11 and 201.105.3.3, as well as 7.2.13 and 8.4.1 of IEC 60601-1.

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 itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
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.
International standard IEC 80601-2-30 has been prepared by a Joint Working Group of IEC
subcommittee 62D: Electrical equipment, of IEC technical committee 62: Electrical equipment
in medical practice and ISO subcommittee SC3: Lung ventilators and related equipment, of
ISO technical committee 121: Anaesthetic and respiratory equipment.
This first edition of IEC 80601-2-30 cancels and replaces the second edition of
IEC 60601-2-30, published in 1999. This edition constitutes a major technical revision as well

INTRODUCTION
The minimum safety requirements specified in this particular standard are considered to
provide for a practical degree of safety in the operation of an AUTOMATED
SPHYGMOMANOMETER.
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.
It is considered that 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.

Part 2-30: Particular requirements for the basic safety and essential
performance of automated non-invasive sphygmomanometers



201.1 Scope, object and related standards
1)
Clause 1 of the general standard applies, except as follows:
201.1.1 Scope
Replacement:
This International Standard applies to the BASIC SAFETY and ESSENTIAL PERFORMANCE of
AUTOMATED SPHYGMOMANOMETERS, hereafter referred to as ME EQUIPMENT, which by means of
an inflatable CUFF, are used for intermittent indirect measurement of the BLOOD PRESSURE
without arterial puncture.
NOTE 1 Equipment that performs indirect measurement of the BLOOD PRESSURE without arterial puncture does not
directly measure the BLOOD PRESSURE. It only estimates the BLOOD PRESSURE.
This standard specifies requirements for the BASIC SAFETY and ESSENTIAL PERFORMANCE for
ME EQUIPMENT and its ACCESSORIES, including the requirements for the accuracy of a
this
DETERMINATION.
This standard covers electrically-powered intermittent, indirect measurement of the BLOOD
PRESSURE without arterial puncture, ME EQUIPMENT with automatic methods for estimating
BLOOD PRESSURE, including BLOOD PRESSURE monitors for the HOME HEALTHCARE ENVIRONMENT.
Requirements for indirect measurement of the BLOOD PRESSURE without arterial puncture
ME EQUIPMENT with an electrically-powered PRESSURE TRANSDUCER and/or displays used in
conjunction with a stethoscope or other manual methods for determining BLOOD PRESSURE
(NON-AUTOMATED SPHYGMOMANOMETERS) are specified in document ISO 81060-1.
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 subcl
