Purchase a recording of this Audio Conference

The IEC 60601 3rd Edition represents a major change in the way medical devices are evaluated and approved. This audio conference will provide an overview of the major differences between the 2nd and 3rd Editions of the standard, including process changes for assessing acceptable risk, in addition to the electrical and mechanical changes. Because the changes have a major impact on the way certification is viewed, there is still a lot of discussion among the major medical markets on how to interpret the standard, what national differences to include, and what requirements will be required to assess conformity. We will also provide an update on the adoption status in the major medical device markets.

This audio conference will cover:

  • The basic electrical and mechanical differences to the standard
  • The current status of adoption in the major medical markets
  • Additional required documentation
  • The impact of risk management on the evaluation of conformity to IEC 60601
  • How flexibility is built into the new standard to accommodate new technologies
