If a clause or subclause is specifically intended to be applicable to ME 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 ME EQUIPMENT and to ME SYSTEMS, as relevant.


HAZARDS inherent in the intended physiological function of ME EQUIPMENT or ME SYSTEMS within the scope of this document are not covered by specific requirements in this document, except in 7.2.13 and 8.4.1 of the general standard.


NOTE See also 4.2 of the general standard.


This particular standard specifies safety requirements for INFANT PHOTOTHERAPY EQUIPMENT, but alternate methods of compliance with a specific clause by demonstrating equivalent safety will not be judged as non-compliant if the MANUFACTURER has demonstrated in his RISK 
MANAGEMENT FILE that the RISK presented by the HAZARD has been found to be of an acceptable level when weighed against the benefit of treatment from the device.


This document does not apply to:
– devices supplying heat via BLANKETS, PADS or MATTRESSES in medical use; for information, see IEC 60601-2-35 [1]2;

Replacement:

This part of IEC 60601 applies to the BASIC SAFETY and ESSENTIAL PERFORMANCE of X-ray based IMAGE-GUIDED RADIOTHERAPY equipment for use with EXTERNAL BEAM EQUIPMENT (EBE).

This document covers safety aspects of kilovoltage (kV) and megavoltage (MV) X-ray imaging devices integrated in a specified geometrical relationship with EBE for the purpose of IGRT. It covers aspects of communication and relationships between the EXTERNAL BEAM EQUIPMENT and X-ray imaging devices, attached or not directly attached to, but in the same RADIATION shielded area as, and dedicated for use only with, the EXTERNAL BEAM EQUIPMENT.

This document deals with equipment for OFFLINE X-IGRT, ONLINE X-IGRT and REAL-TIME X-IGRT. It covers procedures to reduce the risk of over-reliance on the X-IGRT EBE SYSTEM. For example, in the case of ONLINE X-IGRT, the MANUFACTURER will provide an interactive interface for user interaction with the correction suggested by the system.

This document does not apply to CT SCANNERS, X-RAY EQUIPMENT for RADIOGRAPHY, and X-RAY EQUIPMENT for RADIOSCOPY, that are not intended for use for IGRT.

Requirements that are being tested according to another standard can be identified by the manufacturer. If these requirements are equivalent, retesting is not required, but instead evidence can refer to the CT SCANNER, X-RAY EQUIPMENT for RADIOGRAPHY, or X-RAY for RADIOSCOPY manufacturer's compliance statements or test reports.

If the X-IGRT EQUIPMENT is combined with an MEE, any requirement that is the same for the X-IGRT EQUIPMENT and the MEE, such as a PATIENT POSITIONER, is not required to be tested twice, but can be accepted as tested by the MEE.

This document applies to X-RAY EQUIPMENT for RADIOGRAPHY, RADIOSCOPY, and COMPUTER TOMOGRAPHY used for IGRT.

If a clause or subclause is specifically intended to be applicable to X-IGRT EBE SYSTEMS, the content of that clause or subclause will say so. Where that is not the case, the clause or subclause applies only to X-IGRT EQUIPMENT.

This document, with the inclusion of TYPE TESTS and SITE TESTS, applies respectively to the MANUFACTURER and some installation aspects of X-IGRT EBE SYSTEMS intended to be

for NORMAL USE, operated under the authority of the RESPONSIBLE ORGANIZATION by QUALIFIED PERSONS having the required skills for a particular medical application, for particular specified clinical purposes, e.g., STATIONARY RADIOTHERAPY or MOVING BEAM RADIOTHERAPY,

maintained in accordance with the recommendations given in the INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE, and

subject to regular quality assurance performance and calibration checks by a QUALIFIED PERSON.

NOTE In this document, all references to installation refer to the installation in the RESPONSIBLE ORGANIZATION'S premises.

This clause of Part 1 is applicable except as follows.


Replacement:


This part of IEC 60730 applies to the safety of electrical, electro-mechanical and electronic sensors including sensing elements and any conditioning circuitry. Sensors covered under the scope of this document serve only to transform an activating quantity into a usable output and do not perform a control operation as defined in IEC 60730-1. 


This document applies to sensors in so far as defining the reliability and accuracy of their inherent operating characteristics and corresponding response under normal and abnormal conditions within the sensor. Sensors, as defined herein, are used in or as part of an automatic electrical control or as independently mounted devices in connection with controls and control systems.


The use of this document for other applications in which sensors are used is possible provided that the appropriate safety is maintained as defined by the end product standard. This document applies to discrete sensors constructed of, but not limited to, conductive or semiconductive substrate, for the detection of activating quantities such as voltage, current, temperature, pressure, humidity, light (e.g. optical), gasoline vapours, and the like. 


NOTE 1 Future consideration will be given to other sensor technologies such as chemical, mechanical and microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), along with other activating quantities like mass flow, liquid, movement, weight, vibration, or other as needed.


This document applies to sensing element(s) as well as any electronic hardware, software, or other conditioning circuits that are inherent to the sensor and relied upon to reliably transform the input signal into a useable response signal (output) for functional safety purposes. Conditioning circuits that are inseparable from the control for which the sensing element relies  upon to perform its desired function are evaluated by the requirements of the relevant control Part 2 standard and/or IEC 60730-1.


NOTE 2 Additional requirements can be also applied by the application standard in which the sensor is used. Throughout this document, whenever it is indicated that the IEC 60730-1 requirements are applicable, the term "control(s)", is replaced by the term "sensor(s)", and the term "equipment" 
is replaced by the term "control", as they are used in IEC 60730-1, respectively, unless otherwise specified herein. 


This document does not apply to sensors explicitly described in another relevant part 2 of the IEC 60730 series.


NOTE 3 For example, a flame sensor as described in IEC 60730-2-5.
