Abstract

In this particular standard, safety and performance requirements additional to those in the general standard are specified for ultrasonic physiotherapy equipment. This standard only relates to ultrasonic physiotherapy equipment employing a single plane unfocused circular transducer per treatment head, producing static beams perpendicular to the face of the treatment head. This standard can also be applied to ultrasonic physiotherapy equipment used for compensation or alleviation of disease, injury or disability. In the case of combined equipment (e.g. equipment additionally provided with a function or an applied part for electrical stimulation) such equipment shall also comply with any particular standard specifying safety requirements for the additional function.
