Summary Excerpt Details

In order to complete electrical safety measurements and tests on technical medical devices, it is essential to be familiar with technical terms used in various standards. Experience shows that students of medical engineering often have problems understanding and interpreting specific, technical terms.
The following work should help to explain these terms in a comprehensible way (without resorting to the language used in official standards).

Zusammenfassung der Kapitel (Chapter Summaries)

  • Introduction: This chapter introduces the purpose and context of the glossary, highlighting the importance of understanding technical terms for electrical safety measurements and tests on medical devices. It also mentions the relevant standards, particularly the Medical Devices Directive and the Medical Devices Operator Ordinance, and the paragraphs within the ordinance that mandate electrical safety tests.
  • Standards: This chapter presents the key standards related to electrical safety of medical devices, focusing on DIN EN 60601-1 and DIN EN 62353, which define the general requirements and testing procedures for electrical safety. It briefly mentions DIN VDE 0701-0702, a standard for testing electrical devices following repair but clarifies that it is not specifically related to medical devices.
  • Terms and Explanations: This chapter begins the detailed explanation of technical terms used in electromedical metrology, starting with "Protection Class 1." The chapter explains the concept of connecting conductive parts to electrical earth to provide protection against electric shock. The example of a HF heat therapy device illustrates the implementation of Protection Class 1 in a medical device.

Schlüsselwörter (Keywords)

The glossary focuses on key terms related to electrical safety of medical devices, including Protection Class 1, electrical earth, conductive parts, medical devices directive, medical devices operator ordinance, DIN EN 60601-1, DIN EN 62353, and electrical safety testing.
