Medical electrical equipment - Part 2-26: Particular requirements for the basic safety and essential performance of electroencephalographs
IEC 80601-2-26:2019 applies to the BASIC SAFETY and ESSENTIAL PERFORMANCE of ELECTROENCEPHALOGRAPHS as defined in 201.3.204, hereafter also referred to as ME EQUIPMENT or ME SYSTEM. This document is applicable to ELECTROENCEPHALOGRAPHS intended for use in professional healthcare facilities, the EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICES ENVIRONMENT or the HOME HEALTHCARE ENVIRONMENT. This document does not cover requirements for other equipment used in electroencephalography such as: – phono-photic stimulators; – EEG data storage and retrieval; – ME EQUIPMENT particularly intended for monitoring during electro-convulsive therapy. If a clause or subclause is specifically intended to be applicable to ME EQUIPMENT only, or to ME SYSTEMS only, the title or content of that clause or subclause will say so. If that is not the case, the clause or subclause applies both to ME EQUIPMENT and to ME SYSTEMS, as follows. The clause or subclause applies to ME EQUIPMENT, as default. For ME EQUIPMENT with the corresponding safety measure or function not completely integrated into the ME EQUIPMENT but instead implemented in an ME SYSTEM, the ME EQUIPMENT MANUFACTURER specifies in the ACCOMPANYING DOCUMENTS which functionality and safety requirements are provided by the ME SYSTEM to comply with this document. The ME SYSTEM is verified accordingly. HAZARDS inherent in the intended physiological function of ME EQUIPMENT or ME SYSTEMS within the scope of this document are not covered by specific requirements in this document. IEC 80601-2-26:2019 cancels and replaces the third edition of IEC 60601-2-26 published in 2012. This edition constitutes a technical revision to align with Amendment 1:2012 of IEC 60601-1:2005, new versions of collateral standards and amendments thereto.
Medizinische elektrische Geräte - Teil 2-26: Besondere Festlegungen für die Sicherheit einschließlich der wesentlichen Leistungsmerkmale von Elektroenzephalographen
Appareils électromédicaux - Partie 2-26: Exigences particulières pour la sécurité de base et les performances essentielles des électroencéphalographes
IEC 80601-2-26:2019 s'applique à la SECURITE DE BASE et aux PERFORMANCES ESSENTIELLES des ELECTROENCEPHALOGRAPHES définis en 201.3.204, aussi appelés APPAREILS EM ou SYSTEMES EM dans la présente norme. Le présent document est applicable aux ELECTROENCEPHALOGRAPHES destinés à être utilisés dans les établissements de soins professionnels, l'ENVIRONNEMENT DES SERVICES MEDICAUX D'URGENCE ou l'ENVIRONNEMENT DES SOINS A DOMICILE. Les exigences propres à d'autres appareils également utilisés en électroencéphalographie ne relèvent pas du domaine d'application du présent document, par exemple: – stimulateurs phonophotiques; – appareils de stockage et restitution d'informations d'EEG; – APPAREILS EM destinés particulièrement à la surveillance au cours d'une thérapie électro-convulsive. Si un article ou un paragraphe est spécifiquement destiné à être applicable uniquement aux APPAREILS EM ou uniquement aux SYSTEMES EM, le titre ou le contenu de cet article ou de ce paragraphe l'indique. Si ce n'est pas le cas, l'article ou le paragraphe s'applique à la fois aux APPAREILS EM et aux SYSTEMES EM, comme suit. L'article ou le paragraphe s'applique aux APPAREILS EM, par défaut. Pour les APPAREILS EM dont la mesure ou la fonction de sécurité correspondante n'est pas complètement intégrée dans l'APPAREIL EM, mais plutôt mise en œuvre dans un SYSTEME EM, le FABRICANT de l'APPAREIL EM spécifie dans les DOCUMENTS D'ACCOMPAGNEMENT les exigences de fonctionnalité et de sécurité qu'assure le SYSTEME EM pour être conforme au présent document. Le SYSTEME EM est vérifié en conséquence. Les DANGERS inhérents à la fonction physiologique prévue des APPAREILS EM ou des SYSTEMES EM dans le cadre du domaine d'application du présent document ne sont pas couverts par des exigences spécifiques contenues dans le présent document. IEC 80601-2-26:2019 annule et remplace la troisième édition de l'IEC 60601-2-26 parue en 2012. Cette édition constitue une révision technique destinée à s'aligner sur l'Amendement 1:2012 de l'IEC 60601-1:2005 et sur les nouvelles versions des normes collatérales et leurs amendements.
Medicinska električna oprema - 2-26. del: Posebne zahteve za osnovno varnost in bistvene lastnosti elektroencefalografov (IEC 80601-2-26:2019)
Standard IEC 80601-2-26 se uporablja za OSNOVNO VARNOST in BISTVENE LASTNOSTI ELEKTROENCEFALOGRAFOV, kot je določeno v točki 201.3.204, v nadaljevanju ELEKTROMEDICINSKA OPREMA oziroma ELEKTROMEDICINSKI SISTEM. Ta dokument se uporablja za ELEKTROENCEFALOGRAFE, namenjene uporabi v strokovnih zdravstvenih ustanovah, v OKOLJU NUJNIH ZDRAVSTVENIH STORITEV ali v OKOLJU DOMAČE ZDRAVSTVENE OSKRBE. Ta dokument ne zajema zahtev za drugo opremo, ki se uporablja pri elektroencelografiji, npr.: – fono-fotične stimulatorje; – shranjevanje in dostop do podatkov EEG; – ELEKTROMEDICINSKO OPREMO, namenjeno izključno za nadzor med elektrokonvulzivno terapijo. Če je točka ali podtočka namenjena samo uporabi za ELEKTROMEDICINSKO OPREMO ali ELEKTROMEDICINSKE SISTEME, bo to zapisano v naslovu oziroma vsebini dane točke ali podtočke. Če ni zapisano, se točka ali podtočka uporablja za ELEKTROMEDICINSKO OPREMO in ELEKTROMEDICINSKE SISTEME, kot je navedeno v nadaljevanju. Točka ali podtočka se privzeto uporablja za ELEKTROMEDICINSKO OPREMO. Za ELEKTROMEDICINSKO OPREMO z ustreznim varnostnim ukrepom ali funkcijo, ki ni v celoti integrirana v ELEKTROMEDICINSKO OPREMO, temveč je implementirana v ELEKTROMEDICINSKI SISTEM, PROIZVAJALEC ELEKTROMEDICINSKE OPREME v SPREMNI DOKUMENTACIJI navede, s katerimi funkcijami in varnostnimi zahtevami ELEKTROMEDICINSKI SISTEM zagotavlja skladnost s tem dokumentom. ELEKTROMEDICINSKI SISTEM se ustrezno preveri. Posebne zahteve tega dokumenta ne vključujejo temeljnih TVEGANJ pri predvideni fiziološki funkciji ELEKTROMEDICINSKE OPREME in SISTEMOV, ki spadajo na področje uporabe tega dokumenta.

FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as "IEC
Publication(s)"). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
