The objective of this Standard is to specify the requirements for the basic safety and essential performance of short-wave therapy equipment. Short-wave therapy equipment are defined as medical equipment for the therapeutic treatment of a patient by exposure to electric or magnetic fields produced in the frequency range of more than 13 MHz but not exceeding 45 MHz. Equipment having a rated output power not exceeding 10 W are exempted from certain requirements of this Standard.
The minimum safety requirements specified in this particular standard are considered to provide for a practical degree of safety in the operation of short-wave therapy equipment. This particular standard amends and supplements IEC 60601-1: Medical electrical equipment – Part 1: General requirements for safety and essential performance, hereinafter referred to as the general standard (see 201.1.4).
The requirements are followed by specifications for the relevant tests.
