FOREWORD
This amendment has been prepared by subcommittee 62D: Electromedical equipment of IEC

technical committee 62: Electrical equipment in medical practice.

The text of this amendment is based on the following documents:

FDIS Report on voting
62D/1072/FDIS 62D/1079/RVD
Full information on the voting for the approval of this amendment can be found in the report
on voting indicated in the above table. In ISO, the standard has been approved by 14 P-
members out of 15 having cast a vote.
The committee has decided that the contents of this amendment and the base publication will
remain unchanged until the stability date indicated on the IEC web site under
"http://webstore.iec.ch" in the data related to the specific publication. At this date, the
publication will be
• reconfirmed,
• withdrawn,
• replaced by a revised edition, or
• amended.
NOTE The attention of National Committees and Member Bodies is drawn to the fact that equipment
manufacturers and testing organizations may need a transitional period following publication of a new, amended or
revised IEC or ISO publication in which to make products in accordance with the new requirements and to equip
themselves for conducting new or revised tests. It is the recommendation of the committee that the content of this
publication be adopted for implementation nationally not earlier than 3 years from the date of publication

201.12.1.107 * Reproducibility of the BLOOD PRESSURE DETERMINATION
The laboratory reproducibility of the BLOOD PRESSURE DETERMINATION of the AUTOMATED
SPHYGMOMANOMETER shall be less than or equal to 3,0 mmHg (0,4 kPa).
Compliance is checked with the following test:
Two samples of the AUTOMATED SPHYGMOMANOMETER of the same MODEL OR TYPE REFERENCE
are needed to perform this test PROCEDURE.
NOTE At the beginning of this compliance test neither sample has been subjected to the mechanical stress tests
of the general standard and the collateral standards. Step h) subjects AUTOMATED SPHYGMOMANOMETER A to the
stress tests and the laboratory limits of the change in error of the BLOOD PRESSURE DETERMINATION are compared
before and after these mechanical stresses.
a) Label one sample of the AUTOMATED SPHYGMOMANOMETER as A and the other sample as B.
