The scope given in Clause 1 of EN 60601-1:1990 applies except that 1.1 is replaced by the following:
1.1   This European Standard specifies requirements for nebulizing systems used for the delivery of drugs in an aerosol form to humans through the respiratory system.
This European Standard includes gas-powered nebulizers which may be derived from e.g. compressors, pipeline systems, cylinders etc., or electrically-powered nebulizers (e.g. ultrasonic and membrane devices) or manually-powered nebulizers.
NOTE   Requirements for nebulizers having also a humidification function are specified in EN ISO 8185:1997 + AC: 2002 "Humidifiers" (see 56.102).

4 General requirements and general requirements for test 4.1 Modifications to Clause 3 of EN 60601-1:1990 Clause 3 of EN 60601-1:1990 applies with the following modifications. Replace 3.1 with the following: Nebulizing systems and nebulizers shall, when transported, stored, installed, operated in normal use and maintained according to the instructions of the manufacturer, cause no safety hazard which could reasonably be foreseen using risk management procedures in accordance with EN ISO 14971 and which is connected with their intended application, in normal condition and in single fault condition. In 3.6 add the following: aa) applicable single fault conditions are:  short and open-circuits of components or wiring which can:  cause sparks to occur, or  increase the energy of sparks, or  increase temperature (see section seven);  incorrect output resulting from software error. NOTE See also 54.101. bb) R)
A situation in which a fault is not detected is considered a normal condition. Fault conditions/hazardous situations may remain undetected over a period of time and as a consequence may lead to an unacceptable risk. In that case subsequent fault conditions need to be considered as a single fault condition. Specific risk control measures need to be determined within the risk management process to deal with such situations. SIST EN 13544-1:2007+A1:2009

This indication can be the batch or serial number.  if appropriate, the recommended method(s) of cleaning, disinfection and sterilization;  device packaging and/or labelling shall differentiate between the same or similar products both sterile and non-sterile placed on the market by the same manufacturer;  if appropriate, packages containing parts made of antistatic or conductive material shall be clearly marked with the word “ANTISTATIC” or “CONDUCTIVE”;  the liquid container of the nebulizer shall be marked at the maximum filling level. This shall be defined in the instruction for use (see 6.8.2 aa) 9th dash). 6.3 Marking of controls and instruments 6.3 of EN 60601-1:1990 applies with the following addition: aa) units  gas supply pressures shall be displayed in kPa. NOTE 1 Additional units e.g. bar can be used.  pressures in breathing systems shall be displayed in Pa times 100. NOTE 2 Additional units e.g. cm H2O can be used.  flows shall be displayed in l/min. 6.4 Symbols EN 980 and 6.4 of EN 60601-1:1990 apply. 6.8.2 Instructions for use In 6.8.2 add the following items: aa) as far as applicable the following information shall be provided with the nebulizing system, its parts or the packages thereof, and EN 1041 shall apply; SIST EN 13544-1:2007+A1:2009

EN ISO 3744. The A-weighted background level of extraneous noise shall be at least 10 dB below that measured during the test. 27 Pneumatic and hydraulic power Clause 27 of EN 60601-1:1990 applies. 28 Suspended masses Clause 28 of EN 60601-1:1990 applies. Section five - Protection against hazards from unwanted or excessive radiation 29 X-radiation Clause 29 of EN 60601-1:1990 applies. 30 Alpha, beta, gamma, neutron radiation and other particle radiation Clause 30 of EN 60601-1:1990 applies.
