Medizinische elektrische Geräte - Teil 2-10: Besondere Festlegungen für die Sicherheit einschließlich der wesentlichen Leistungsmerkmale von Geräten zur Stimulation von Nerven und Muskeln (IEC 60601-2-10:2012); Deutsche Fassung EN 60601-2-10:2015
Overview
This standard is the adaptation to the new structure of the 60601-1 family, edition 3.0, and applies to the basic safety and essential performance characteristics of devices for the stimulation of nerves and muscles. Devices for stimulating nerves and muscles are electrical stimulation devices for the application of electrical currents via patient electrodes for the diagnosis and therapy of neuromuscular disorders. Some types of devices, such as defibrillators, cardiac pacemakers and devices for brain stimulation, are excluded from the regulation by this standard.
