the signal input part or signal output part is
configuring a medical system, and is therefore,
responsible that the system complies with the
requirements of the system standard IEC 60601-

configurations doivent être conformes à la norme
système CEI 60601-1. Quiconque connecte un
équipement supplémentaire à la partie entrée de
signal ou àla partie sortie de signal configure un
système médical et est donc responsable de la
conformité du système aux exigences de la norme
système IEC 60601-1. L'unité est destinée à
l'interconnexion exclusive avec l'équipement
certifié CEI 60601-1 dans l'environnement du
