DIN EN 60601-2-23:2016-08

These special specifications establish specific requirements for basic safety, including essential performance characteristics, of transcutaneous partial pressure monitoring equipment. This applies to both stand-alone devices and devices that are part of a system. This standard applies to transcutaneous monitors used with adults, children and neonates, and it includes the use of these devices in foetal monitoring during birth. This standard does not apply to haemoglobin saturation oximeters or to devices applied to surfaces of the body other than the skin (for example conjunctiva, mucosa). This standard is the adaptation to the new structure of DIN EN 60601-1:2007 and processing of the changed or new topics electromagnetic compatibility, usability and alarms, which are specified in the collatoral standards DIN EN 60601-1-2, DIN EN 60601-1-6 and DIN EN 60601-1-8. The committee responsible is Subcommittee DKE/UK 812.1 "Diagnostik" ("Diagnostics") of the DKE (German Commission for Electrical, Electronic and Information Technologies) at DIN and VDE.
