GB 9706.224-2021 Medical electrical equipment—Part 2-24:Particular requirements for the basic safety and essential performance of infusion pumps and controllers
Basic Information
Scope
This document specifies the requirements for enteral nutrition pumps, infusion pumps, portable infusion pumps, injection/container pumps, and volume-based infusion controllers defined as 201.3.204, 201.3.206, 201.3.207, 201.3.220, 201.3.222, and 201.3.223.
This document applies to the basic safety and basic performance of infusion pumps and volume-based infusion controllers, hereinafter referred to as ME devices.
Since the characteristics of the infusion tubing itself may affect the basic safety and basic performance of infusion pumps and volume-based infusion controllers, this document is to some extent applicable to infusion tubing. However, this document does not stipulate requirements or tests for other aspects of infusion tubing.
If a chapter or clause explicitly states that it only applies to ME devices or ME systems, the title and text of the chapter or clause will indicate this. If not, the relevant chapter or clause applies to both ME devices and ME systems.
Except for the provisions of clauses 7.2.13 and 8.4.1 of the general standard, there are no specific requirements in this standard for the inherent hazards of the intended physiological functions of ME devices or ME systems within the scope of this standard.
Note: See the requirements of clause 4.2 of the general standard.
This document does not apply to the following devices:
a) devices specifically intended for diagnostic or similar purposes (for example, angiography or other pumps permanently controlled or managed by the operator);
b) extracorporeal blood circulation devices;
c) implantable devices;
d) ME devices specifically intended for urodynamic diagnosis (using a catheter to fill the bladder with water and measuring the pressure-volume relationship);
e) ME devices specifically intended for male impotence detection (to maintain an erection, a preset pressure needs to be maintained, and the amount of fluid injected to maintain this
