Medical electrical equipment - Part 2-19: Particular requirements for basic safety and essential performance of baby incubators (IEC 60601-2-19)
This International Standard applies to the BASIC SAFETY and ESSENTIAL PERFORMANCE of INFANT
INCUBATORS, as defined in 201.3.209 of this standard, also 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. This particular standard specifies safety requirements for INFANT INCUBATORS but alternate methods of compliance with a specific clause by demonstrating equivalent safety will not be judged as non-compliant if the MANUFACTURER has demonstrated in his RISK MANAGEMENT FILE that the RISK presented by the HAZARD has been found to be of an acceptable level when weighed against the benefit of treatment from the device. This particular standard does not apply to:
– devices supplying heat via BLANKETS, PADS or MATTRESSES in medical use; for information
see IEC 80601-2-35 [3]2);
– INFANT RADIANT WARMERS; for information, see IEC 60601-2-21 [2];
– INFANT TRANSPORT INCUBATORS, for information, see IEC 60601-2-20 [1];
– INFANT PHOTOTHERAPY EQUIPMENT, for information see IEC 60601-2-50 [4].

Ta mednarodni standard velja za OSNOVNO VARNOST in BISTVENE LASTNOSTI OTROŠKIH INKUBATORJEV, kot je določeno v 201.3.209 tega standarda, prav tako imenovanih ME OPREMA. Če bo točka ali podtočka izrecno namenjena samo uporabi za ME OPREMO ali samo za ME SISTEME, bosta naslov in vsebina te točke ali podtočke to tudi navedla. Sicer točka in podtočka veljata za ustrezno ME OPREMO in ME SISTEME. NEVARNOSTI, ki so del fiziološkega delovanja ME OPREME ali ME SISTEMOV v okviru uporabe tega standarda, niso zajete s posebnimi zahtevami tega standarda, razen v točkah 7.2.13 in 8.4.1 splošnega standarda. OPOMBA: Prav tako glej 4.2 splošnega standarda. Ta določen standard določa varnostne zahteve za OTROŠKE INKUBATORJE, vendar alternativne metode skladnosti z določeno točko z dokazovanjem enakovredne varnosti ne bodo ocenjene kot neskladne, če je PROIZVAJALEC predstavil v svojem DOKUMENTU OBVLADOVANJA TVEGANJA, da je TVEGANJE, predstavljeno z NEVARNOSTJO, sprejemljive stopnje v primerjavi s koristjo terapije naprave. Ta konkretni standard ne velja za:
- naprave, ki dovajajo toploto prek ODEJ, BLAZIN ali POSTELJNIH VLOŽKOV pri medicinski uporabi; za informacije

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 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.
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 60601-2-19 has been prepared by subcommittee 62D:
Electromedical equipment, of IEC technical committee 62: Electrical equipment in medical
practice.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 1990 and its
Amendment 1 (1996). This edition constitutes a technical revision. It was revised to
structurally align with the third edition (2005) of IEC 60601-1.
The text of this particular standard is based on the following documents:

INTRODUCTION
The minimum safety requirements specified in this particular standard are considered to
provide for a practical degree of safety in the operation of INFANT INCUBATOR equipment.
This particular standard amends and supplements IEC 60601-1:2005, Medical electrical
equipment – Part 1: General requirements for basic safety and essential performance,
hereinafter referred to as the general standard.
The requirements are followed by specifications for the relevant tests.
A general guidance and rationale for the requirements of this particular standard are given in
Annex AA.
It is considered that knowledge of the reasons for these requirements will not only facilitate
the proper application of this particular 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.

MEDICAL ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT –
Part 2-19: Particular requirements for the basic safety
and essential performance of infant incubators
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 INFANT
INCUBATORS, as defined in 201.3.209 of this standard, also 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.
This particular standard specifies safety requirements for INFANT INCUBATORS but alternate
methods of compliance with a specific clause by demonstrating equivalent safety will not be
judged as non-compliant if the MANUFACTURER has demonstrated in his RISK MANAGEMENT FILE
that the RISK presented by the HAZARD has been found to be of an acceptable level when
weighed against the benefit of treatment from the device.
This particular standard does not apply to:
– devices supplying heat via BLANKETS, PADS or MATTRESSES in medical use; for information

201.1.3 * Collateral standards
Addition:
This particular standard refers to those applicable collateral standards that are listed in
Clause 2 of the general standard and Clause 2 of this particular standard.
IEC 60601-1-2 and IEC 60601-1-10 apply as modified in Clauses 202 and 210 respectively.
IEC 60601-1-3 does not apply. All other published collateral standards in the IEC 60601-1
series apply as published.
201.1.4 Particular standards
Replacement:
In the IEC 60601 series, particular standards may modify, replace or delete requirements
contained in the general standard and collateral standards 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, figures or tables 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
