IEC 60601-2-43 Radiation Dose Monitoring in Interventional X-Ray Systems
The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) standard IEC 60601-2-43 provides comprehensive guidance on the measurement and monitoring of radiation dose during interventional X-ray procedures. This critical standard ensures that healthcare facilities meet stringent safety requirements while delivering high-quality diagnostic imaging.
Interventional X-ray systems are used in a wide range of medical procedures, from cardiology to orthopedics. The equipment employed in these settings must comply with strict radiation dose limits set forth by IEC 60601-2-43 to protect patients and healthcare professionals alike.
The standard defines the test parameters for measuring radiation dose during interventional X-ray procedures, ensuring that the system operates within safe levels. It also covers the calibration of dosimeters, the use of software algorithms to calculate effective doses, and the reporting requirements for both the facility and regulatory bodies.
Compliance with this standard is essential for any medical device manufacturer or healthcare provider aiming to ensure the safety and effectiveness of their interventional X-ray systems. By adhering to IEC 60601-2-43, facilities can demonstrate their commitment to patient safety and regulatory compliance.
Our laboratory offers comprehensive testing services to help you meet these stringent requirements. We provide detailed reports that outline the performance of your devices against these standards, ensuring that they are safe for use in clinical settings.
