Additional devices which are connected to
electrical medical devices must provide
evidence of compliance with the relevant IEC
or ISO standards (e.g. IEC 60950 for data-
processing devices). Furthermore, all
configurations must comply with the
requirements of standards for medical
systems (see IEC 60601-1-1 or Section 16 of
the 3rd edition of IEC 60601-1 respectively).
Anyone connecting additional devices to
electrical medical devices is considered a
system configurer and is therefore
responsible for ensuring that the system
complies with the requirements of standards
