IEC 60601 SYMBOLOGY
In their approval processes, manufacturers of medical and hospital devices
carry out extensive tests to verify the device’s performance at the end of
the production line. In these processes, it is recommended to carry out
checks that ensure no risk of harm to the patient and operator as soon as
the device is approved for use.
The timeline of a medical-hospital device observes the following points:
1. Design
2. Product Tests
3. Approval for Use
4. Operator Training
5. Preventive Maintenance
6. Calibration
7. Repair
