Medical electrical equipment - Part 2-49: Particular requirements for the basic safety and essential performance of multifunction patient monitoring equipment (IEC 80601-2-49:2018)
This part of the 80601 International Standard applies to BASIC SAFETY and ESSENTIAL PERFORMANCE requirements of MULTIFUNCTION PATIENT MONITORS as defined in 201.3.201, hereafter referred to as ME EQUIPMENT or MEDICAL ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS. This particular standard applies to MULTIFUNCTION PATIENT MONITORS intended for use in professional healthcare facilities as well as in the EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICE ENVIRONMENT or the HOME HEALTHCARE ENVIRONMENT. The scope of this document is restricted to ME EQUIPMENT or MEDICAL ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS intended for connection to a single PATIENT that has two or more PHYSIOLOGICAL MONITORING UNITS. NOTE For purposes of this document, a pregnant mother and her fetus(es) are considered a single PATIENT. This document does not specify requirements for individual PHYSIOLOGICAL MONITORING UNITS such as ECG, invasive pressure and pulse oximetry. The particular standards related to these PHYSIOLOGICAL MONITORING UNITS specify requirements from the perspective of stand-alone ME EQUIPMENT. This particular standard addresses the additional requirements related to MULTIFUNCTION PATIENT MONITORS.MULTIFUNCTION PATIENT MONITORS can be integrated into other ME EQUIPMENT or MEDICAL ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS. When this is the case, other relevant standards also apply. EXAMPLE 1 MULTIFUNCTION PATIENT MONITOR incorporated into a critical care ventilator where ISO 80601-2-12 also applies EXAMPLE 2 MULTIFUNCTION PATIENT MONITOR incorporated into a homecare ventilator for dependent PATIENT where ISO 80601-2-72 also applies. EXAMPLE 3 MULTIFUNCTION PATIENT MONITOR incorporated into anesthetic workstation where ISO 80601-2-13 also applies. EXAMPLE 4 MULTIFUNCTION PATIENT MONITOR incorporated into haemodialysis equipment, IEC 60601-2-16 also applies. This document does not apply to implantable parts of MULTIFUNCTION PATIENT MONITORS.
Medizinische elektrische Geräte - Teil 2-49: Besondere Festlegungen für die Sicherheit einschließlich der wesentlichen Leistungsmerkmale von multifunktionalen Patientenüberwachungsgeräten (IEC 80601-2-49:2018)
Appareils électromédicaux - Partie 2-49: Exigences particulières pour la sécurité de base et les performances essentielles des appareils de surveillance multifonction des patients (IEC 80601-2-49:2018)
L’IEC 80601-2-49:2018 s'applique aux exigences pour la sécurité de base et les performances essentielles des moniteurs multifonctions des patients, désignés ci-après par appareils EM ou systèmes électromédicaux. La présente norme particulière s'applique aux moniteurs multifonctions des patients destinés à être utilisés dans les établissements professionnels de santé ainsi que dans l'environnement des services medicaux d'urgence ou dans l'environnement des soins à domicile.
Le domaine d'application du présent document est limité aux appareils EM ou aux systèmes électromédicaux destinés à la connexion à un patient unique qui comportent au minimum deux unités de surveillance physiologique.
Le présent document ne spécifie pas d'exigences pour les unités de surveillance physiologique individuelles telles que l'ECG, la pression prélevée directement et l'oxymétrie de pouls. Les normes particulières relatives à ces unités de surveillance physiologique spécifient des exigences dans la perspective d'appareils EM autonomes. La présente norme particulière aborde les exigences supplémentaires relatives aux moniteurs multifonctions des patients. Les moniteurs multifonctions des patients peuvent être intégrés dans d'autres appareils EM ou systèmes électromédicaux. Lorsque c'est le cas, d'autres normes s'appliquent également.
Le présent document ne s'applique pas aux parties implantables des moniteurs multifonctions des patients.
Cette première édition annule et remplace la deuxième édition de l'IEC 60601-2-49 parue en 2011. Cette édition constitue une révision technique et permet un alignement avec l'édition actuelle de l'IEC 60601-1 et son Amendement, ainsi qu'avec les nouvelles versions des normes collatérales et de leurs amendements. Les modifications majeures concernent l'Article 208, car une grande partie des exigences précédentes sont désormais traitées dans l'IEC 60601-1-8.
Medicinska električna oprema - 2-49. del: Posebne zahteve za osnovno varnost in bistvene lastnosti večfunkcijske opreme za nadzor pacientov (IEC 80601-2-49:2018)
Ta del mednarodnega standarda 80601 se uporablja za zahteve glede OSNOVNE VARNOSTI in BISTVENIH LASTNOSTI VEČFUNKCIJSKIH MONITORJEV PACIENTE, kot je določeno v točki 201.3.201 (v nadaljevanju »ELEKTROMEDICINSKA OPREMA« ali »ELEKTROMEDICINSKI SISTEMI«). Ta standard se uporablja za VEČFUNKCIJSKE MONITORJE ZA NADZOR PACIENTOV, namenjene uporabi v strokovnih zdravstvenih ustanovah in v OKOLJU NUJNIH ZDRAVSTVENIH STORITEV ali v OKOLJU DOMAČE ZDRAVSTVENE OSKRBE. Področje uporabe tega dokumenta je omejeno na ELEKTROMEDICINSKO OPREMO ali ELEKTROMEDICINSKE SISTEME, ki so namenjeni za povezavo s posameznim PACIENTOM, ki ima dve ali več ENOT ZA NADZOROVANJE FIZIOLOŠKIH FUNKCIJ. OPOMBA: V tem dokumentu se nosečnica in njen plod/plodovi štejejo za enega PACIENTA. Ta dokument ne določa zahtev za posamezne ENOTE ZA NADZOROVANJE FIZIOLOŠKIH FUNKCIJ, kot so EKG, naprave za invazivno nadzorovanje krvnega tlaka in pulzni oksimetri. Standardi v zvezi s temi ENOTAMI ZA NADZOROVANJE FIZIOLOŠKIH FUNKCIJ določajo zahteve z vidika samostojne ELEKTROMEDICINSKE OPREME. Ta standard obravnava dodatne zahteve glede VEČFUNKCIJSKIH MONITORJEV ZA NADZOR PACIENTOV. VEČFUNKCIJSKE MONITORJE ZA NADZOR PACIENTOV je mogoče vgraditi v drugo ELEKTROMEDICINSKO OPREMO ALI ELEKTROMEDICINSKE SISTEME. V tem primeru se uporabljajo tudi drugi ustrezni standardi. PRIMER 1: VEČFUNKCIJSKI MONITOR ZA NADZOR PACIENTOV, ki je vgrajen v respirator za intenzivno nego in za katerega se uporablja tudi standard ISO 80601-2-12. PRIMER 2: VEČFUNKCIJSKI MONITOR ZA NADZOR PACIENTOV, ki je vgrajen v respirator za oskrbo od aparata odvisnih pacientov na domu in za katerega se uporablja tudi standard ISO 80601-2-72. PRIMER 3: VEČFUNKCIJSKI MONITOR ZA NADZOR PACIENTOV, ki je vgrajen v delovno postajo za anestezijo in za katerega se uporablja tudi standard ISO 80601-2-13. PRIMER 4: VEČFUNKCIJSKI MONITOR ZA NADZOR PACIENTOV, ki je vgrajen v opremo za hemodializo in za katerega se uporablja tudi standard ISO 60601-2-16. Ta dokument se ne uporablja za dele VEČFUNKCIJSKIH MONITORJEV ZA NADZOR PACIENTOV, ki so namenjeni vsaditvi.
