25、TRODUCTION This Particular Standard specifies requirements and tests for the safety of ULTRASONIC PHYSIOTHERAPY EQUIPMENT. It amends and supplements IEC 60601-1 (second edition, 1988) including Amendments 1 and 2, hereinafter referred to as the General Standard. This Particular Standard takes into a
26、ccount IEC 60601-1-2 and IEC 61689. A first edition of this Particular Standard was published in 1984, based on the first edition (1977) of IEC 60601-1 and making reference to IEC 60150. The aim of this second edition is to bring this Particular Standard up to date with reference to the publications
27、 and documents mentioned above. The title has been changed to better reflect its scope based on developments in the therapeutic application of ultrasound and in line with changes in the above IEC standards. The requirements are followed by specifications for the relevant tests. A rationale for the m
28、ore important requirements, where appropriate, is given in annex AA. It is considered that a knowledge of the reasons for these requirements will not only facilitate the proper application of the Particular Standard but will, in due course, expedite any revision necessitated by changes in clinical p
29、ractice or as a result of developments in technology. However this annex does not form part of the requirements of this Standard. The clauses and subclauses which have corresponding rationale statements are marked with an asterisk * before their number. Page5 EN6060125:2000 BSI 05-2001 MEDICAL ELECT
30、RICAL EQUIPMENT Part 2-5: Particular requirements for the safety of ultrasonic physiotherapy equipment SECTION ONE GENERAL The clauses and subclauses of this section of the General Standard apply, except as follows: 1 Scope and object 1.1 Scope Addition: This Particular Standard specifies the requir
31、ements for safety of ULTRASONIC PHYSIOTHERAPY EQUIPMENT used in medical practice, as defined in 2.1.101. This Particular Standard does not apply to: EQUIPMENT in which a tool is driven by ULTRASOUND (for example EQUIPMENT used in surgery or dentistry); EQUIPMENT in which focused ULTRASOUND pulse wav
32、es are used to destroy conglom- erates such as stones in the kidneys or the bladder (lithotrites) (for information refer to IEC 60601-2-36); ULTRASONIC PHYSIOTHERAPY EQUIPMENT in which focused ULTRASOUND pulse waves are used. 1.2 Object Replacement: The object of this Particular Standard is to estab
33、lish particular requirements for the safety of ULTRASONIC PHYSIOTHERAPY EQUIPMENT used in medical practice, as defined in 2.1.101. 1.3 Particular Standards Addition: This Particular Standard refers to IEC 60601-1 (1988): Medical electrical equipment Part 1: General requirements for safety, as amende
34、d by its amendment 1 (1991) and amendment 2 (1995). For brevity, Part 1 is referred to in this Particular Standard as the “General Standard” . The numbering of sections, clauses and subclauses of this Particular Standard corresponds with that of the General Standard. The changes to the text of the G
35、eneral Standard are specified by the use of the following words: “Replacement” means that the clause or subclause of the General 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 th
36、e General Standard. Page6 EN6060125:2000 BSI 05-2001 “Amendment” means that the clause or subclause of the General Standard is amended as indicated by the text of this Particular Standard. Subclauses or figures which are additional to those of the General Standard are numbered starting from 101, add
37、itional annexes are lettered AA, BB, etc., and additional items aa), bb), etc. The term “this standard” is used to make reference to the General Standard and this Particular Standard taken together. Where there is no corresponding section, clause or subclause in this Particular Standard, the section
38、, clause or subclause of the General Standard, although possibly not relevant, applies without modification; where it is intended that any part of the General Standard, although possibly relevant, is not to be applied, a statement to that effect is given in this Particular Standard. The requirements
39、 of this Particular Standard take priority over those of the General Standard and Collateral Standards mentioned below. 1.5 Collateral Standards Addition: The following Collateral Standards apply: IEC 60601-1-1:1992, Medical electrical equipment Part 1: General requirements for safety Section 1 Coll
