Non-invasive sphygmomanometers - Part 1: Requirements and test methods for non-automated measurement type (ISO 81060-1:2007)

This part of ISO 81060 specifies requirements for non-automated sphygmomanometers, as defined in 3.11, and their accessories, which, by means of inflatable cuffs, are used for the non-invasive blood pressure measurement by operator observation. This part of ISO 81060 specifies requirements for the safety and essential performance, including effectiveness and labelling, for non-automated sphygmomanometers and their accessories, including test methods to determine the accuracy of non-invasive blood pressure measurement. The part of ISO 81060 covers non-invasive blood pressure measurement devices with a pressure-sensing element and display used in conjunction with means of detecting blood flow. Requirements for non-invasive blood pressure measurement equipment with electrically-powered pressure sensing elements and/or displays used in conjunction with other automatic methods determining blood pressure are specified in IEC 60601-2-30. Requirements for invasive blood pressure measurement equipment that directly measure blood pressure are specified in document IEC 60601-2-34.

Ta del standarda ISO 81060 določa zahteve glede neavtomatiziranih sfigmomanometrov, kot so opredeljeni v točki 3.11, in njihovih dodatkov, ki se s pomočjo napihljive manšete uporabljajo za neinvazivno merjenje krvnega tlaka, ki ga izvajalec merjenja odčita. Ta del standarda ISO 81060 določa zahteve glede varnosti in osnovnega delovanja, vključno z učinkovitostjo in označevanjem, za neavtomatizirane sfigmomanometre in njihove dodatke, vključno s preskusnimi metodami za določitev natančnosti neinvazivnega merjenja krvnega tlaka. Ta del standarda ISO 81060 zajema neinvazivne naprave za merjenje krvnega tlaka z elementom za zaznavanje tlaka in prikazovalnikom, ki se uporabljajo skupaj s sredstvom zaznavanja pretoka krvi. Zahteve glede neinvazivne opreme za merjenje krvnega tlaka z električnimi elementi za zaznavanje tlaka in/ali prikazovalniki, ki se uporabljajo skupaj z drugimi avtomatskimi metodami za določanje krvnega tlaka, so navedene v IEC 60601-2-30. Zahteve glede invazivne opreme za merjenje krvnega tlaka, ki neposredno meri krvni tlak, so navedene v dokumentu IEC 60601-2-34.

Once this standard is cited in the Official Journal of the European Union under that Directive and has been
implemented as a national standard in at least one Member State, compliance with the clauses of this
standard given in table ZA.1 confers, within the limits of the scope of this standard, a presumption of
conformity with the corresponding Essential Requirements of that Directive and associated EFTA regulations.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 81060-1 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 121, Anaesthetic and respiratory equipment,
Subcommittee SC 3, Lung ventilators and related equipment.
ISO 81060 consists of the following parts, under the general title Non-invasive sphygmomanometers:
⎯ Part 1: Requirements and test methods for non-automated measurement type
The preparation of a second part covering clinical evaluation for the automated measurement type is planned.

Introduction
The minimum safety requirements specified in this part of ISO 81060 are considered to provide a practical
degree of safety in the operation of non-automated sphygmomanometers.
The requirements are followed by specifications for the relevant tests.
A “rationale and guidance” section giving some explanatory notes, where appropriate, about the more
important requirements is included in Annex A.
It is considered that knowledge of the reasons for these requirements will not only facilitate the proper
application of this part of ISO 81060 but will, in due course, expedite any revision necessitated by changes in
clinical practice or as a result of developments in technology. However, Annex A does not form part of the
requirements of this part of ISO 81060.
Throughout this document, text for which a rationale is provided in Annex A is indicated by an asterisk (*).

INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 81060-1:2007(E)

Non-invasive sphygmomanometers —
Part 1:
Requirements and test methods for non-automated
measurement type
1 * Scope
This part of ISO 81060 specifies requirements for non-automated sphygmomanometers, as defined in 3.11,
and their accessories, which, by means of inflatable cuffs, are used for the non-invasive blood pressure
measurement by operator observation.
This part of ISO 81060 specifies requirements for the safety and essential performance, including
effectiveness and labelling, for non-automated sphygmomanometers and their accessories, including test
methods to determine the accuracy of non-invasive blood pressure measurement.
The part of ISO 81060 covers non-invasive blood pressure measurement devices with a pressure-sensing
element and display used in conjunction with means of detecting blood flow.
EXAMPLE 1 A stethoscope for detecting Korotkoff sounds, Doppler ultrasound or other manual methods.
Requirements for non-invasive blood pressure measurement equipment with electrically-powered pressure
sensing elements and/or displays used in conjunction with other automatic methods determining blood
[7]
pressure are specified in IEC 60601-2-30 .
Requirements for invasive blood pressure measurement equipment that directly measure blood pressure are
[8]
specified in document IEC 60601-2-34 .
EXAMPLE 2 Measuring equipment, including associated transducers, that is used for the invasive measurement of
circulatory system pressures.
