EN-IEC 60601-2-50 applies to the BASIC SAFETY and ESSENTIAL PERFORMANCE of INFANT PHOTOTHERAPY EQUIPMENT, as defined in 201.3.203, also referred to as ME EQUIPMENT.If a clause or subclause is specifically intended to be applicable to ME EQUIPMENT only, or to ME SYSTEMS only, the title and content of that clause or subclause will say so. If that is not the case, the clause or subclause applies both to ME EQUIPMENT and to ME SYSTEMS, as relevant.HAZARDS inherent in the intended physiological function of ME EQUIPMENT or ME SYSTEMS within the scope of this document are not covered by specific requirements in this document,except in 7.2.13 and 8.4.1 of the general standard. This particular standard specifies safety requirements for INFANT PHOTOTHERAPY EQUIPMENT,but alternate methods of compliance with a specific clause by demonstrating equivalent safety will not be judged as non-compliant if the MANUFACTURER has demonstrated in his RISK MANAGEMENT FILE that the RISK presented by the HAZARD has been found to be of an acceptable level when weighed against the benefit of treatment from the device.

If that is not the case, the clause or subclause applies both to HEARING AIDS and to HEARING AID SYSTEMS, as relevant. HAZARDS inherent in the intended physiological function of HEARING AIDS or HEARING AID SYSTEMS within the scope of this document are not covered by specific requirements in this document except in 201.7.9.2 and 201.9.6. ACCESSORIES to HEARING AIDS in the HOME HEALTHCARE ENVIRONMENT (e.g. remote control units, audio streamers, battery chargers, power supplies) can be tested according to the applicable standard, IEC 60065, IEC 60950-1, IEC 62368-1 or other applicable IEC safety standards. Alternatively, the general standard may be applied. HEARING AIDS do not have a MAINS PART intended for connection to AC SUPPLY MAINS. The connection to the SUPPLY MAINS of a HEARING AID SYSTEM is covered by power supply, charger or other types of ACCESSORIES. ACCESSORIES with FUNCTIONAL CONNECTION to a HEARING AID may form a HEARING AID SYSTEM. HEARING AID related ACCESSORIES that are not physically connected to the HEARING AID during NORMAL USE are not considered to be APPLIED PART, because they do not directly contribute to the INTENDED USE of the HEARING AID. Wireless programming interfaces are covered by the applicable standard IEC 60065, IEC 60950-1, IEC 62368-1 or other applicable IEC safety standards. Alternatively, the general standard may be applied. Programming interfaces with wired connection to the HEARING AID are covered by the general standard.

This part of IEC 62220 specifies the method for the determination of the DETECTIVE QUANTUM
EFFICIENCY (DQE) of DIGITAL X-RAY IMAGING DEVICES as a function of AIR KERMA and of SPATIAL
FREQUENCY for the working conditions in the range of the medical application as specified by
the MANUFACTURER. The intended users of this part of IEC 62220 are manufacturers and well
equipped test laboratories.
NOTE 1 While not recommended, applying this standard to determine the DQE of digital X-ray imaging devices
integrated in a clinical system is not excluded as long as the requirements as set in this standard are respected.
Points of additional attention could be (for example but not exclusively) the establishment of the required RADIATION
QUALITIES, minimizing influences of scattered and back-scattered radiation, accurate AIR KERMA measurements,
positioning of the TEST DEVICE, presence of protective covers, removal of ANTI-SCATTER GRID.
This Part 1-1 is restricted to DIGITAL X-RAY IMAGING DEVICES that are used for radiographic
imaging such as, but not exclusively, CR systems, direct and indirect flat panel-detector
based systems.
It is not recommended to use this part of IEC 62220 for digital X-RAY IMAGE INTENSIFIER-based
systems.
NOTE 2 The use of this standard for X-RAY IMAGE INTENSIFER-based systems is discouraged based on the low
frequency drop, vignetting and geometrical distortion present in these devices which may put severe limitations on
the applicability of the measurement methods described in this standard.
This part of IEC 62220 is not applicable to:
– DIGITAL X-RAY IMAGING DEVICES intended to be used in mammography or in dental
radiography;
– slot scanning DIGITAL X-RAY IMAGING DEVICES;
– COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY;
– devices for dynamic imaging (where series of images are acquired, as in fluoroscopy or cardiac
imaging).
NOTE 3 The devices noted above are excluded because they contain many parameters (for instance, beam
qualities, geometry, time dependence, etc.) which differ from those important for RADIOGRAPHY. Some of these
techniques are treated in other parts of the IEC 62220 standards (IEC 62220-1-2 and IEC 62220-1-3).
