GB 9706.213-2021 Medical electrical equipment—Part 2-13:Particular requirements for the basic safety and essential performance of an anaesthetic workstation
Basic Information
Scope
This part of GB 9706 specifies the general requirements for the basic safety and basic performance of ME equipment and ME systems.
This part applies to medical electrical equipment and medical electrical systems (hereinafter referred to as ME equipment and ME systems).
If a chapter or clause explicitly states that it only applies to ME equipment 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 equipment and ME systems.
Except for 7.2.13 and 8.4.1, the hazards (sources) caused by the intended physiological effects of ME equipment or ME systems within the scope of this part are not specifically required in this part.
This document applies to the basic safety and basic performance of anesthesia workstations used for administering inhaled anesthesia, which require the continuous involvement of professional operators.
This document specifies dedicated requirements for a complete anesthesia workstation and the following anesthesia workstation components. These anesthesia workstation components can be used as standalone equipment or may form an anesthesia workstation with other related anesthesia workstation components:
——Anesthesia gas delivery systems;
——Anesthesia respiratory systems;
——Anesthesia gas purification systems;
——Anesthesia gas delivery devices;
——Anesthesia ventilators;
——Monitoring devices;
——Alarm systems;
——Protective devices.
Note 1: Table AA.1 outlines the monitoring devices, alarm systems, and protective devices.
Considering the general standards, both the complete anesthesia workstation and its independent components are considered ME equipment or ME systems.
Note 2: Table AA.2 provides the usage environment of this document.
This document also applies to accessories claimed by manufacturers to be connected to anesthesia workstations, if the c
