IEC 60601-2-54:2022 and IEC 60601-2-43:2022 require information to be provided to the responsible organization with respect to quality control. This document provides guidance to manufacturers regarding the acceptance and constancy tests for the X‑ray equipment in a manufacturer supplied quality control manual. Annex G provides guidance for such a manual.

Contains requirements concerning basic safety and essential performance that are generally applicable to medical electrical equipment. For certain types of medical electrical equipment, these requirements are either supplemented or modified by the special requirements of a collateral or particular standard. Where particular standards exist, this standard should not be used alone. The contents of the corrigenda of December 2006, of July 2007, the interpretation sheet 1 of April 2008, the interpretation sheet 2 of January 2009 and the interpretation sheet 2 of May 2013 have been included in this copy.

This International Standard applies to the BASIC SAFETY and ESSENTIAL PERFORMANCE of both FIXED and MOBILE X-RAY EQUIPMENT declared by the MANUFACTURER to be suitable for RADIOSCOPICALLY GUIDED INTERVENTIONAL PROCEDURES, hereafter referred to as INTERVENTIONAL X-RAY EQUIPMENT. Its scope excludes, in particular: - equipment for RADIOTHERAPY; - equipment for COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY; - ACCESSORIES intended to be introduced into the PATIENT; - mammographic X-RAY EQUIPMENT; - dental X-RAY EQUIPMENT. NOTE 1 Examples of RADIOSCOPICALLY GUIDED INTERVENTIONAL PROCEDURES, for which the use of INTERVENTIONAL X-RAY EQUIPMENT complying with this standard is recommended, are given in Annex AA. NOTE 2 Specific requirements for magnetic navigation devices, and for the use of INTERVENTIONAL X-RAY EQUIPMENT in an operating room environment were not considered in this particular standard; therefore no specific requirements have been developed for these devices or uses. In any case, such devices or uses remain under the general clause requirements. NOTE 3 INTERVENTIONAL X-RAY EQUIPMENT, when used for cone-beam CT mode, is covered by this standard and not by IEC 60601-2-44 [2]2. No additional requirements for operation in cone-beam CT mode were identified for this standard (see also Note 4 in 203.6.4.5). INTERVENTIONAL X-RAY EQUIPMENT declared by the MANUFACTURER to be suitable for RADIOSCOPICALLY GUIDED INTERVENTIONAL PROCEDURES, which does not include a PATIENT SUPPORT as part of the system, is exempt from the PATIENT SUPPORT provisions of this standard. If a clause or subclause is specifically intended to be applicable to INTERVENTIONAL X-RAY 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 INTERVENTIONAL X-RAY EQUIPMENT and to ME SYSTEMS, as relevant. NOTE 4 See also 4.2 of the general standard. The subclauses of this standard supersede IEC 60601-2-54 subclauses. IEC 60601-2-54 applies only with regards to the cited subclauses; non-cited subclauses of IEC 60601-2-54 do not apply.

This International Standard is applicable to X-RAY SOURCE ASSEMBLIES and X-RAY TUBE ASSEMBLIES, for use in MEDICAL DIAGNOSTIC RADIOLOGY for techniques in which the X-RAY PATTERN will be received simultaneously in all points of the IMAGE RECEPTION AREA. This standard specifies a method for the determination of the greatest geometrically symmetrical RADIATION FIELD at a specified distance from the FOCAL SPOT for which the percentage AIR KERMA RATE along the major axes of the RADIATION FIELD does not fall below a permitted value. NOTE 1 AIR KERMA or AIR KERMA RATE are the only practical verifiable physical quantities for X-RAY SOURCES. X-RAY SOURCES must be tested independently from MEDICAL ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS. Conversion to the characteristics of the X-RAY IMAGE RECEPTOR used in a MEDICAL ELECTRICAL SYSTEM may be done in addition. In case multiple FOCAL SPOTS are not super-imposed, each focal spot has its own REFERENCE AXIS. Then the maximum RADIATION FIELD may be given for each FOCAL SPOT separately NOTE 2 The maximum symmetrical RADIATION FIELD may change from its initial value as the X-RAY TUBE ages through use. NOTE 3 If, for certain MEDICAL ELECTRICAL SYSTEMs the scope of IEC 60806 does not fit, then the special RADIATION FIELD requirements could be incorporated in the MEDICAL ELECTRICAL SYSTEM particular standard. However, a statement on the RADIATION FIELD while referring IEC 60806 is then no longer possible.
