We provide solutions for the challenges that manufacturers and test labs face frequently, such as;

  • Need help to determine the Essential Performance per IEC 60601-1? 
 
  • Need help with the Risk Management requirements of IEC 60601-1-2?
 
  • Ensure the labeling requirements of IEC 60601-1-2 are complied with?
 
  • Need a test plan to comply with IEC 60601-1-2?
​
  •  What is IEC TR 60601-4-2 and how does it compare with IEC 60601-1-2? Do I need to meet both? Which regulators ask for compliance to IEC TR 60601-4-2?

Current Topics


  
  • IEC 60601-1-2, Edition 4.1 (2020) Recognized by the FDA replacing Edition 4.0
 
  • IEC TR 60601-4-2, Edition 1.0 (2016) - (Edition 1.1 version coming soon) EMC Performance document (not Essential Performance) for Medical Electrical Equipment and Systems. Compliance to this document will likely be asked for by some regulators.  It is a recognized consensus standard for the FDA.
