Abstract

Specifies safety requirements for the design and manufacture of electromyographs and evoked response equipment. It is identical with and has been reproduced from IEC 60601-2-40:1998. This Standard refers extensively to its Parent Standard, AS/NZS 3200.1.0. An available copy of AS/NZS 3200.1.0 is essential to the meaningful interpretation of this Part.

Scope

Addition:

This Particular Standard applies to ELECTROMYOGRAPHS as defined in 2.1.101 and EVOKED RESPONSE EQUIPMENT as defined in 2.1.102, hereinafter referred to as EQUIPMENT.
