BS EN 60601-2-5:2015 applies to the BASIC SAFETY and ESSENTIAL PERFORMANCE of
ULTRASONIC PHYSIOTHERAPY EQUIPMENT as defined in 201.3.216, hereafter referred to as
ME EQUIPMENT.This standard only relates to ULTRASONIC PHYSIOTHERAPY EQUIPMENT employing a single plane
unfocused circular transducer per TREATMENT HEAD, producing static beams perpendicular to
the face of the TREATMENT HEAD.This standard can also be applied to ULTRASONIC PHYSIOTHERAPY EQUIPMENT used for
compensation or alleviation of disease, injury or disability.In the case of combined EQUIPMENT (e.g. EQUIPMENT additionally provided with a function or an
APPLIED PART for electrical stimulation) such EQUIPMENT shall also comply with any particular
standard specifying safety requirements for the additional function.If a clause or subclause is specifically intended to be applicable to ME EQUIPMENT only, or to
ME SYSTEMS only, the title and content of that clause or subclause will say so. If that is not the
case, the clause or subclause applies both to ME EQUIPMENT and to ME SYSTEMS, as relevant.HAZARDS inherent in the intended physiological function of ME EQUIPMENT or ME SYSTEMS
within the scope of this standard are not covered by specific requirements in this standard
except in 7.2.13 and 8.4.1 of the general standard.Cross References:IEC 60601-1-2:2007EN 60601-1-2:2007EN 60601-1-2:2007/Corrigendum 1:2010IEC 61689:2007EN 61689:2007IEC 62127-1:2007EN 62127-1:2007IEC 62127-2:2007EN 62127-2:2007IEC 60601-2-36:1997EN 60601-2-36:1997IEC 61161:2006EN 61161:200793/42/EECIEC 62462:2007ISO/IEC Guide 98:2007IEC 60050-802IEC 60469-1:1987Replaces BS EN 60601-2-5:2001 which remains currentAll current amendments available at time of purchase are included with the purchase of this document.
