DIN EN ISO 10651-2

Abstract

IEC 60601-1:1988, Clause 1 applies, except as follows. <br><em>Amendment:</em> <br>This part of ISO 10651 specifies requirements for lung <strong>ventilators</strong> intended for home applications for those <strong>patients</strong> who are dependent on ventilatory support. Such <strong>ventilators</strong> are considered <strong>life-supporting equipment</strong>, are frequently used in locations where driving power is not reliable, and are often supervised by non-healthcare personnel with different levels of training. <br>This part of ISO 10651 is not applicable to cuirass and "iron-lung" <strong>ventilators</strong>. <br>This part of ISO 10651 is not applicable to <strong>ventilators</strong> intended only to augment the ventilation of spontaneously breathing <strong>patients</strong>. <br>The requirements of this part of ISO 10651 which replace or modify the requirements of IEC 60601-1:1988 and its Amendments 1 (1991) and 2 (1995) are intended to take precedence over the corresponding general requirements.
