EVS-EN IEC 60601-2-37:2024

IEC 60601-2-37 applies to the basic safety and essential performance of ultrasonic diagnostic equipment, hereinafter referred to as ME equipment. If a clause or subclause is specifically intended to apply to ME equipment, or 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 IEC 60601-2-37 are not covered by specific requirements in this standard. IEC 60601-2-37 does not cover ultrasonic therapeutic equipment. Equipment used for the imaging or diagnosis of body structures by ultrasound in conjunction with other medical procedures is covered.

IEC 60601-2-37:2024 text has been approved in Europe as EN IEC 60601-2-37:2024 without any changes.
