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 an article explicitly states that it only applies to ME devices or ME systems, the title and the text of the chapter or article will indicate this. If this is not the case, the relevant chapters or articles apply 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.
In GB 9706.1-2020, 1.1 is replaced by the following content:
——This part applies to the basic safety and basic performance of ventilators used in combination with their accessories, hereinafter referred to as ME devices: intended for patients who rely on mechanical ventilation and are cared for by professional operators; and
Note 1: Such ventilators are considered as ME devices or ME systems for life support.
——Intended for use in emergency care environments in professional medical settings, or intended for use in transfers within professional medical settings.
Note 2: Intensive care ventilators used for transfers within professional medical settings are not considered as emergency and transfer ventilators.
The provisions of this part also apply to accessories that the manufacturer intends to connect to VBS or ventilators, and the characteristics of such accessories may affect the basic safety and basic performance of ventilators.
This part does not apply to ME devices and ME systems operating in ventilation modes used by patients who do not rely on mechanical ventilation.
Note 3: Intensive care operating in the aforementioned modes is not considered as ME devices or ME systems for life
