Patient hazard, damage to device
• Additional devices that are con-
nected to medical electrical
equipment must verifiably com-
ply with the respective IEC or
ISO standards (e.g. IEC 60950
for data processing equipment).
Furthermore, all configurations
must comply with the normative
requirements for medical sys-
tems (see IEC 60601-1-1 or sec-
tion 16 of the 3rd edition of IEC
60601-1, respectively). The per-
son connecting additional
devices to medical electrical
equipment becomes the system
configurer and is thereby
responsible for ensuring the sys-
tem's compliance with the nor-
mative requirements for systems.
