NF EN ISO 9919
Medical electrical equipment - Particular requirements for the basic safety and essential performance of pulse oximeter equipment for medical use
For the purposes of ISO 9919:2005, the Scope given in IEC 60601-1:1988 (Clause 1) applies, except as follows.Amendment (add at the end of 1.1):ISO 9919:2005 specifies particular requirements for the basic safety and essential performance of pulse oximeter equipment intended for use on humans. This includes any part necessary for normal use, e.g. the pulse oximeter monitor, pulse oximeter probe, probe cable extender.These requirements also apply to pulse oximeter equipment, including pulse oximeter monitors, pulse oximeter probes and probe cable extenders, that has been reprocessed. The intended use of pulse oximeter equipment includes, but is not limited to, the estimation of arterial oxygen haemoglobin saturation and pulse rate on patients in healthcare institutions as well as on patients in home care. ISO 9919:2005 is not applicable to pulse oximeter equipment intended for use in laboratory research applications nor to oximeters that requires a blood sample from the patient.ISO 9919:2005 is not applicable to pulse oximeter equipment solely intended for fetal use.ISO 9919:2005 is not applicable to remote or slave (secondary) devices that display SpO2 values that are located outside of the patient environment.The requirements of ISO 9919:2005 which replace or modify requirements of IEC 60601-1:1988 and its Amendments 1 (1991) and 2 (1995) are intended to take precedence over the corresponding general requirements.

Le présent document définit les prescriptions de sécurité et de performance des oxymètres de pouls utilisés chez les êtres humains.
ISO 80601-2-61:2011 applies to the basic safety and essential performance of pulse oximeter equipment intended for use on humans, hereafter referred to as ME equipment. This includes any part necessary for normal use, including the pulse oximeter monitor, pulse oximeter probe, and probe cable extender. These requirements also apply to pulse oximeter equipment, including pulse oximeter monitors, pulse oximeter probes and probe cable extenders, which have been reprocessed. The intended use of pulse oximeter equipment includes, but is not limited to, the estimation of arterial oxygen haemoglobin saturation and pulse rate of patients in professional healthcare institutions as well as patients in the home healthcare environment. ISO 80601-2-61:2011 is not applicable to pulse oximeter equipment intended for use in laboratory research applications nor to oximeters that require a blood sample from the patient. ISO 80601-2-61:2011 can also be applied to pulse oximeter equipment and their accessories used for compensation or alleviation of disease, injury or disability. ISO 80601-2-61:2011 is not applicable to pulse oximeter equipment intended solely for foetal use. ISO 80601-2-61:2011 is not applicable to remote or slave (secondary) devices that display SpO2 values that are located outside of the patient environment.
