IEC/TR 62799:2013（E）是一份技术报告，为IEC 62359的用户提供了背景信息，以了解IEC 60601-2-37和IEC 62359中描述的热指数的几种潜在替代品的相对优点。该报告讨论了与诊断超声场的热方面相关的参数；以及用于确定与理论组织等效模型中由超声吸收引起的温度升高相关的暴露参数的方法。该报告预期用于: -参与IEC 62359开发和维护的人员； -用于风险评估的医疗电气设备制造商； -以及卫生保健监管机构、测试机构和其他负责实施医疗电气设备标准的组织。

IEC/TR 62799:2013(E), which is a technical report, provides background information for users of IEC 62359 to understand the relative merits of several of the potential replacements for the thermal index as described in IEC 60601-2-37 and IEC 62359. The report discusses parameters related to thermal aspects of diagnostic ultrasonic fields; and methods for the determination of an exposure parameter relating to temperature rise in theoretical tissue-equivalent models, resulting from absorption of ultrasound. The report is intended to be used:
- by those involved in the development and maintenance of IEC 62359;
- manufacturers of medical electrical equipment for risk assessment;
- and health care regulatory authorities, test houses and other organizations responsible for implementing standards for medical electrical equipment.
