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. 4.2 Clause 4 of EN 60601-1:1990 Clause 4 of EN 60601-1:1990 applies.

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. 31 Microwave radiation Clause 31 of EN 60601-1:1990 applies. 32 Light radiation (including lasers) Clause 32 of EN 60601-1:1990 applies. 33 Infra-red radiation Clause 33 of EN 60601-1:1990 applies. 34 Ultra-violet radiation Clause 34 of EN 60601-1:1990 applies. 35 Acoustical energy (including ultra-sonics) Clause 35 of EN 60601-1:1990 applies.
