Annotation of standard text IEC 60601-2-37-ed.2.0 :

Applies to the basic safety and essential performance of ultrasonic diagnostic equipment. The approach and philosophy used in drafting this particular standard for safety of ultrasonic diagnostic equipment are consistent with those in standards of the IEC 60601 2 xx series that apply to other diagnostic modalities, such as X-ray equipment and magnetic resonance systems. In each case, the safety standard is intended to require increasing sophistication of output display indicators and/or controls with increasing energy levels in the interrogating field of diagnosis. Thus, for all such diagnostic modalities, it is the responsibility of the operator to understand the risk of the output of the ultrasonic diagnostic equipment, and to act appropriately in order to obtain the needed diagnostic information with the minimum risk to the patient. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2001 and its Amendment 1 (2004) and Amendment 2 (2005). This edition combines the previous edition and its amendments into a form compatible with the parent IEC 60601-1:2005. Sapplique a la securite de base et aux performances essentielles des appareils de diagnostic a ultrasons. Lapproche et la philosophie utilisees en redigeant cette norme particuliere de securite pour les appareils de diagnostic a ultrasons sont coherentes avec celles des normes actuellement en vigueur de la serie des CEI 60601-2-xx, qui sappliquent a dautres modalites de diagnostic, telles que les appareils a rayonnement X et les systemes a resonance magnetique. Dans chacun des cas, la norme de securite est prevue pour prescrire une sophistication croissante de laffichage des indicateurs de sortie et/ou des commandes, en fonction de laugmentation des niveaux denergie dans le champ dinterrogation/dexploration soumis au diagnostic. Ainsi, pour toutes ces modalites de diagnostic, il est de la responsabilite de loperateur dapprehender le risque relatif a lenergie de sortie de lappareil de diagnostic a ultrasons et dagir convenablement afin dobtenir les informations de diagnostic requises, avec le risque minimum pour le patient. Cette deuxieme edition annule et remplace la premiere edition publiee en 2001 et ses Amendement 1 (2004) et Amendement 2 (2005). La presente edition regroupe ledition precedente et ses deux amendements dans un format compatible avec la CEI 60601-1:2005.
