35、blankEN 60601-2-11:1997 BSI 28 October 2004 5 Introduction The use of GAMMA BEAM THERAPY EQUIPMENT for RADIOTHERAPY purposes may expose PATIENTS to danger if the EQUIPMENT fails to deliver the required dose to the PATIENT, or if the EQUIPMENT design does not satisfy standards of electrical and mecha
36、nical safety. The EQUIPMENT may also cause danger to persons in the vicinity if the EQUIPMENT itself fails to contain the RADIATION adequately and/or if there are inadequacies in the design of the TREATMENT ROOM. This Particular Standard establishes requirements to be complied with by MANUFACTURERS
37、in the design and construction of GAMMA BEAM THERAPY EQUIPMENT. Clause 29 states tolerance limits beyond which INTERLOCKS must prevent, INTERRUPT or TERMINATE IRRADIATION in order to avoid an unsafe condition. TYPE TESTS which are performed by the MANUFACTURER, and/or SITE TESTS, which are not neces
38、sarily performed by the MANUFACTURER, are specified for each requirement. Clause 29 does not attempt to define the optimum performance requirements for a GAMMA BEAM THERAPY EQUIPMENT for use in RADIOTHERAPY. Its purpose is to identify those features of design which are regarded at the present time a
39、s essential for the safe operation of such EQUIPMENT. It places limits on the degradation of EQUIPMENT performance at which it can be presumed that a fault condition applies, e.g. a component failure, and where an INTERLOCK then operates to prevent continued operation of the EQUIPMENT. It should be
40、understood that, before installation, a MANUFACTURER can provide a compliance certificate relating only to TYPE TESTS. Data available from SITE TESTS should be incorporated in the ACCOMPANYING DOCUMENTS, in the form of a SITE TEST report, by those who test the EQUIPMENT after installation. The relat
41、ionship of this Particular Standard with IEC 60601-1 (including the amendments) and the Collateral Standards is explained in 1.3.6 blankEN 60601-2-11:1997 BSI 28 October 2004 7 Section 1. General The clauses and subclauses of this section of the General Standard apply except as follows: 1 Scope and
42、object This clause of the General Standard applies except as follows: 1.1 Scope Addition: aa) This Particular Standard specifies requirements for the safety of GAMMA BEAM THERAPY EQUIPMENT intended for RADIOTHERAPY in human medical practice and includes EQUIPMENT in which the selection and DISPLAY o
43、f operating parameters can be controlled by a PROGRAMMABLE ELECTRONIC SYSTEM (PES). bb) This Particular Standard applies to EQUIPMENT which is intended to deliver a GAMMA RADIATION BEAM(S) at NORMAL TREATMENT DISTANCES greater than 5 cm using a SEALED RADIOACTIVE SOURCE(S). For EQUIPMENT operating a
44、t shorter distances, special precautions may be necessary. !This standard applied also to multi-source STEREOTATIC RADIOTHERAPY equipment used to IRRADIATE a single ISOCENTRE simultaneously with more than one SEALED RADIOACTIVE SOURCE. The sources may be stationary or moving. “ cc) This Particular S
45、tandard applies to EQUIPMENT intended to be: used under the authority of appropriately licensed or QUALIFIED PERSONS, by OPERATORS having the skills required for a particular medical application and acting in accordance with the INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE; maintained at predetermined intervals; subject to
46、 regular checks by the USER; used for particular specified clinical purposes, e.g. STATIONARY RADIOTHERAPY or MOVING BEAM RADIOTHERAPY. dd) This Particular Standard is applicable to the manufacture and some installation aspects of GAMMA BEAM THERAPY EQUIPMENT by the inclusion of TYPE TESTS and SITE
47、TESTS respectively. ee) This Particular Standard specifies the requirements for EQUIPMENT. It does not specify the requirements for the RADIATION SOURCES. 1.2 Object Addition: aa) This Particular Standard establishes requirements to ensure the RADIATION safety and enhance the electrical and mechanic
48、al safety of GAMMA BEAM THERAPY EQUIPMENT used in human medical practice and specifies tests for demonstrating compliance with those requirements. bb) In EQUIPMENT of the type covered by this Standard, ABSORBED DOSE 1)is controlled by the time of IRRADIATION. Tolerances for other methods of controll
49、ing the ABSORBED DOSE are not included in this Standard. 1) In this Particular Standard, all references to ABSORBED DOSE refer to ABSORBED DOSE in water at the depth of maximum BUILD UP.EN 60601-2-11:1997 8 BSI 28 October 2004 1.3 Particular Standards Addition: This Particular Standard amends and supplements IEC 60601-1:1988, Medical electrical equipment Part 1: General requirements for safety and amendments 1 (1991) and 2 (1995).
