IEC 60601-2-12 Particular Requirements for Infusion Pumps Laboratory Testing Service: A Comprehensive Guide

As a leading laboratory testing service provider, Eurolab offers expertise in IEC 60601-2-12 Particular Requirements for Infusion Pumps testing. This article provides an in-depth guide to the standard-related information, requirements and needs, test conditions and methodology, test reporting and documentation, benefits of performing this test, and why Eurolab should provide this service.

IEC 60601-2-12 is a Particular Standard for Infusion Pumps, which is part of the IEC 60601 series. This standard provides specific requirements for infusion pumps used in medical settings to ensure their safety and performance. The IEC 60601 series is an international standard that covers general requirements for medical electrical equipment.

The IEC 60601-2-12 standard is developed by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) and published by the European Committee for Standardization (CEN). This standard is harmonized with ISO/TS 80601-2-61 and ISO 13485, ensuring consistency across international borders.

Legal and Regulatory Framework

The IEC 60601-2-12 standard is a regulatory requirement in many countries, including the United States, Canada, Europe, Australia, and Japan. Manufacturers of infusion pumps must comply with this standard to ensure their products meet the required safety and performance standards.

Regulatory bodies such as the US FDA (Food and Drug Administration), Health Canada, and the European Commissions MDR (Medical Device Regulation) enforce compliance with IEC 60601-2-12. Non-compliance can result in product recalls, fines, or even legal action.

International and National Standards

IEC 60601-2-12 is a harmonized standard that ensures consistency across international borders. Manufacturers must comply with this standard to export their products to countries that recognize IEC standards.

In addition to IEC 60601-2-12, several national standards are also applicable:

  • ISO/TS 80601-2-61:2013

  • EN 60601-2-12:2009

  • TSE EN 60601-2-12:2009

    • Standard Development Organizations

    The IEC is responsible for developing and publishing the IEC 60601 series, including IEC 60601-2-12. The CEN is also involved in the development of this standard.

    Other organizations, such as the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and the Canadian Standards Association (CSA), contribute to the development of national standards based on IEC 60601-2-12.

    Standard Evolution and Updates

    Standards are periodically reviewed and updated to reflect new technologies, safety concerns, or regulatory requirements. Manufacturers must stay up-to-date with the latest revisions to ensure their products comply with current regulations.
