Additional devices connected to medical electrical devices must
provide evidence of compliance with the relevant IEC or ISO stan-
dards (e.g. IEC 60950 for data-processing devices). Furthermore, all
configurations must comply with the requirements of standards for
medical systems (see IEC 60601-1-1 or Section 16 of the 3rd edi-
tion of IEC 60601-1 respectively). Anyone connecting additional de-
vices to medical electrical devices is considered a system configurer
and is therefore responsible for ensuring that the system complies
with the requirements of standards for systems. Your attention is
drawn to the fact that local laws take precedence over the above-
mentioned requirements of standards. In the event of any queries,
please contact your local specialist dealer or Technical Service.
