Medical electrical equipment - Part 2-50: Particular requirements for the basic safety and essential performance of infant phototherapy equipment

IEC 60601-2-50:2020 applies to the BASIC SAFETY and ESSENTIAL PERFORMANCE of INFANT PHOTOTHERAPY EQUIPMENT, as defined in 201.3.203, also referred to as ME EQUIPMENT. 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. IEC 60601-2-50:2020 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.IEC 60601-2-50:2020 does not apply to:- devices supplying heat via BLANKETS, PADS or MATTRESSES in medical use; for information, see IEC 60601-2-35;- INFANT INCUBATORS; for information, see IEC 60601-2-19;- INFANT TRANSPORT INCUBATORS; for information, see IEC 60601-2-20;- INFANT RADIANT WARMERS; for information, see IEC 60601-2-21.IEC 60601-2-50:2020 cancels and replaces the second edition published in 2009 and Amendment 1:2016.

Medical electrical equipment - Part 2-50: Particular requirements for the basic safety and essential performance of infant phototherapy equipment

IEC 60601-2-50:2009 establishes particular basic safety and essential performance requirements for infant phototherapy equipment, which reduce the safety hazards to patients and operators as much as possible, and specifies tests for demonstrating compliance with these requirements. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2000. This edition constitutes a technical revision. The main purpose of this new edition is to provide consistency with the third edition of the general standard. This edition further provides consistency with the four other particular standards related to pediatric equipment for which the committee is responsible. The contents of the corrigendum of August 2010 have been included in this copy.
