MEDICAL ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT –

Part 2-71: Particular requirements for the basic safety and essential
performance of functional near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) equipment

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 80601-2-71 has been prepared by a Joint Working Group of IEC
subcommittee 62D: Electromedical 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 publication is published as a double logo standard.
The text of this particular standard is based on the following documents:
FDIS Report on voting
62D/1238/FDIS 62D/1261/RVD

Full information on the voting for the approval of this standard can be found in the report on
voting indicated in the above table. In ISO, the standard has been approved by 14 P-members
out of 14 having cast a vote.

Directives, Part 2. For the purposes of this standard, the auxiliary verb:
– “shall” means that compliance with a requirement or a test is mandatory for compliance
with this standard;
– “should” means that compliance with a requirement or a test is recommended but is not
mandatory for compliance with this standard;
– “may” is used to describe a permissible way to achieve compliance with a requirement or
test.
An asterisk (*) as the first character of a title or at the beginning of a paragraph or table title
indicates that there is guidance or rationale related to that item in 0.
A list of all parts of the IEC 60601 series, published under the general title Medical electrical
equipment, can be found on the IEC website.
The committee has decided that the contents of this publication will remain unchanged until
the stability date indicated on the IEC web site under "http://webstore.iec.ch" in the data
related to the specific publication. At this date, the publication will be
• reconfirmed,
• withdrawn,
• replaced by a revised edition, or
• amended.
A bilingual version of this publication may be issued at a later date.
NOTE The attention of National Committees and Member Bodies is drawn to the fact that equipment
manufacturers and testing organizations may need a transitional period following publication of a new, amended or
revised IEC or ISO publication in which to make products in accordance with the new requirements and to equip
themselves for conducting new or revised tests. It is the recommendation of the committees that the content of this
publication be adopted for implementation nationally not earlier than 3 years from the date of publication.

INTRODUCTION
The minimum safety requirements specified in this particular standard are considered to
provide for a practical degree of safety in the operation of FUNCTIONAL NIRS EQUIPMENT.
The requirements are followed by specifications for the relevant tests.
A "Particular guidance and rationale" text 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.

IEC 60601-1-3 and IEC 60601-1-10 do 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 or 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 60601-1:2005 + IEC 60601-1:2005/AMD1:2012 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 IEC 60601-1-2 collateral
standard, 203.4 in this particular standard addresses the content of Clause 6 of the
IEC 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, figures or tables which are additional to those of a collateral standard are
numbered starting from 20x, where “x” is the number of the collateral standard, e.g. 202 for
IEC 60601-1-2, 203 for IEC 60601-1-3, etc.
The term "this standard" is used to make reference to the general standard, any applicable
collateral standards and this particular standard taken together.
Where there is no corresponding clause or subclause in this particular standard, the clause or
subclause of the general standard or applicable collateral standard, although possibly not
relevant, applies without modification; where it is intended that any part of the general
standard or applicable collateral standard, although possibly relevant, is not to be applied, a
statement to that effect is given in this particular standard.

IEC 60601-1-6, ISO/TR 16142:2006 and IEC 60825-1:2014 and the following apply.
Addition:
201.3.201
AVERAGE OPTICAL POWER
temporal average power of continuous light or repeated light pulses from each discrete
wavelength, from the EMITTER PROBE connected to the FUNCTIONAL NIRS MONITOR
201.3.202
DETECTOR PROBE
part of the FUNCTIONAL NIRS EQUIPMENT which detects light from the living tissue that forms
part of the APPLIED PART
201.3.203
EMITTER PROBE
part of the FUNCTIONAL NIRS EQUIPMENT which emits light to the living tissue that forms part of
the APPLIED PART
201.3.204
FWHM
FULL WIDTH AT HALF MAXIMUM OF SPECTRAL POWER DISTRIBUTION
difference of the wavelength between the two points whose corresponding power values are
equal and 3 dB lower than the values at each PEAK WAVELENGTH
Note 1 to entry: FWHM is the measurement of spectral power distribution illuminated from the EMITTER PROBE
connected to the FUNCTIONAL NIRS MONITOR. Figure 201.101 provides a visual representation. If there are more than
two wavelengths where power value is 3 dB lower than the values at each PEAK WAVELENGTH, FWHM shall be
calculated from the difference between minimum and maximum wavelengths.
