DINEN 13718-1:2014-12EN 13718-1:2014 (E) 4 Introduction This part of EN 13718 gives minimum requirements for interfaces and compatibility of medical devices used in air ambulances. The standards work was called for
34、by the EU Commission by a mandate from the Medical Devices Directive (see Bibliography and Annex ZA). This part of EN 13718 is supplementary to several other European Standards and gives requirements for medical devices when used in situations where the ambient conditions differ from the normal indo
35、or conditions prevailing within the health care system. Several specific requirements are related to the conditions prevailing in air ambulances. The requirements that are set are carefully selected to ensure interoperability and continuous patient care. The medical devices are being used by the ser
36、vices in air ambulances. Air ambulances carry medical devices as well as medicinal products and rescue equipment to be used by medical personnel. The medical devices need to conform to the applicable essential requirements in the Medical Devices Directive. The essential requirements are listed in An
37、nex I of the Medical Devices Directive (MDD). Annex ZA lists the essential requirements that are addressed by the identified clauses of this European Standard. The environmental conditions for medical devices used in air ambulances are different from those expected in a normal hospital environment.
38、In particular, this implies environmental conditions such as temperature and humidity, vibration and shock caused by movement of the air ambulances, variable atmospheric pressures and electromagnetic disturbances between the air ambulances and the medical device.

This European Standard does not cover the require
40、ments for approval and registration of the vehicle and the training of the staff which is the responsibility of the authority/authorities in the country where the ambulance is to be registered. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this do
