Respiratory equipment - Particular requirements for basic safety and essential performance of infant cardiorespiratory monitors
This document applies to the basic safety and essential performance of an infant cardiorespiratory monitor, as defined in 3.10, hereafter also referred to as ME equipment, in combination with its accessories:— intended for use in the home healthcare environment;— intended for use by a lay operator;— intended to monitor cardiorespiratory parameters in sleeping or resting children under three years of age; and— intended for transit-operable use.NOTE An infant cardiorespiratory monitor can also be used in professional health care facilities.This document is also applicable to those accessories intended by their manufacturer to be connected to the infant cardiorespiratory monitor, where the characteristics of those accessories can affect the basic safety or essential performance of the infant cardiorespiratory monitor.EXAMPLE probes, cables distributed alarm system
This document applies to the basic safety and essential performance of an infant cardiorespiratory monitor, as defined in 3.10, hereafter also referred to as ME equipment, in combination with its accessories:
— intended for use in the home healthcare environment;
— intended for use by a lay operator;
— intended to monitor cardiorespiratory parameters in sleeping or resting children under three years of age; and
— intended for transit-operable use.
NOTE An infant cardiorespiratory monitor can also be used in professional health care facilities.
This document is also applicable to those accessories intended by their manufacturer to be connected to the infant cardiorespiratory monitor, where the characteristics of those accessories can affect the basic safety or essential performance of the infant cardiorespiratory monitor.

ISO 18778:2005 specifies requirements for the safety and essential performance of monitors used to detect apparent life-threatening events in sleeping or resting children under three years of age. This International Standard applies to devices used in home care applications. These monitors are generally used without continual professional supervision. ISO 18778:2005 also applies to the accessories, e.g. probes and cables necessary to apply the monitor to the patient. It does not apply to monitors intended for use in health care facilities/institutions.
