This document is applicable to the basic safety and essential
performance of an anaesthetic workstation for administering
inhalational anaesthesia whilst continuously attended by a
professional operator. This document specifies particular
requirements for a complete anaesthetic workstation and the
following anaesthetic workstation components which, although
considered as individual devices in their own right, may be
utilized, in conjunction with other relevant anaesthetic
workstation components, to form an anaesthetic workstation to a
given specification: anaesthetic gas delivery system; anaesthetic
breathing system; anaesthetic gas scavenging system (AGSS);
anaesthetic vapour delivery system; anaesthetic ventilator;
monitoring equipment; alarm system; protection device.
NOTEÂ 1Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Monitoring equipment, alarm systems and protection
devices are summarized in Table AA.1. An anaesthetic workstation
supplied complete and its individual components are considered as
ME equipment or ME systems with regard to the general standard.
NOTEÂ 2Â Â Â Â Â Â Â The applicability of this document is indicated in
Table AA.2. This document is also applicable to those accessories
intended by their manufacturer to be connected to an anaesthetic
workstation where the characteristics of those accessories can
affect the basic safety and essential performance of the
anaesthetic workstation. If a clause or subclause is specifically
intended to be applicable to anaesthetic workstation components or
its accessories 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 an anaesthetic workstation and its
individual components including accessories, as relevant. Hazards
inherent in the intended physiological function of an anaesthetic
workstation and its individual components including accessories
within the scope of this document are not covered by specific
requirements in this document except in
IECÂ 60601-1:2005+AMD1:2012+AMD2:2020, 7.2.13 and 8.4.1.
