YY 9706.261-2023 Medical electrical equipment—Part 2-61:Particular requirements for the basic safety and essential performance of pulse oximeter equipment
Basic Information
Scope
This part of GB 9706 specifies the general requirements for the basic safety and basic performance of ME devices and ME systems.
This part applies to medical electrical equipment and medical electrical systems (hereinafter referred to as ME devices and ME systems).
If a chapter or a clause explicitly states that it only applies to ME devices or ME systems, the title and the text of the chapter or clause will indicate this. If this is not the case, the relevant chapter or clause applies to both ME devices and ME systems.
Except for 7.2.13 and 8.4.1, the hazards (sources) caused by the intended physiological effects of ME devices or ME systems within the scope of this part are not specifically required in this part.
Replacement:
This document specifies the basic safety and basic performance of pulse oximetry devices (hereinafter referred to as ME devices).
This document applies to pulse oximetry devices used by humans and repaired pulse oximetry devices. ME devices include pulse oximetry monitors, pulse oximetry probes, and probe cable extensions.
This document applies but is not limited to pulse oximetry devices intended to estimate the arterial oxygen saturation and pulse rate of patients in professional medical institutions, home care environments, and emergency medical services environments.
This document also applies to pulse oximetry devices for compensating or alleviating diseases, injuries, or disabilities, and pulse oximetry devices intended for use in extreme or uncontrolled environments outside hospitals or doctors' offices, such as ambulances and airborne transfers. Supplementary standards apply to pulse oximetry devices used in these environments.
This document does not apply to pulse oximetry devices used for laboratory research or blood oxygen meters requiring the collection of patient blood samples.
This document does not apply to fetal-specific pulse oximetry devices.
