Electrical medical equipment - Part 2-68: Particular requirements for the basic safety and essential performance of X-ray-based image-guided radiotherapy equipment for use with electron accelerators, light ion beam therapy equipment and radionuclide beam therapy equipment (IEC 62C/774/CD:2020); Text in German and English

Abstract

This draft amendment deals with safety aspects of Megavolt-MV-) systems for imaging related to external beam system, electron accelerator, light ion- beam therapy system and radionuclid- beam therapy system. Since the edition 1 was published changes took place in the standards environment. The following standards relevant to x-igrt equipment were updated, or newly published: – IEC 60601-2-1:2020, Requirements for the basic safety and essential performance of electron accelerators in the range 1 MeV to 50 MeV – IEC 60601-2-64, Requirements for the basic safety and essential performance of light ion beam medical electrical equipment – IEC TR 62926 has been modified during it´s development and was not published as an international standard but as a technical report and provides guidance for integration of electron accelerators with other equipment. – IEC TR 63183 provides guidance on the construction of error and warning messages. This amendment extends the scope of IEC 60601-2-68 to ct scanners, intended to be used in the same room with an external beam equipment.
