INTRODUCTION This Standard Specification amends and supplements IEC 601-1 (second edition, 1988): Medical electrical

7、 equipment - Part 1: General requirements for safety. as amended by its amendment 1 (1991) and its amendment 2 (1995), hereinafter referred to as the General Standard (see 1.3). This Standard Specification is necessary because of the special attention which has to be given to FLUID WARMERS, which ar

8、e frequently used for PATIENTS in operating theaters, intensive care units, and other situations. Additional requirements for safety, beyond those stated in the General Standard, are specified. While K (degree Kelvin) is the recognized unit and symbol for absolute temperature and temperature differe

9、nce, nevertheless the C has been used throughout this Specification Standard because all measurements will commonly be made using equipment marked with the Celsius temperature scale. An asterisk (*) by a clause or sub-clause number indicates that some explanatory notes are given in annex AA at the e

10、nd of this Specification Standard.
