According to "IEC60601-1-1:2000", devices installed in the patient environment are restricted
to "electric medical devices conforming to IEC60601-1".
The Control PC and operation unit are classified under the data processing device standard
(IEC60950), therefore these items should not be installed in the patient environment.
The patient environment described below is an example cited from "IEC60601-1-1:2000" – the
measurements are only guidelines. However, the "IEC60601-1-1:2000" example must be treated
as the standard.
Therefore, the Control PC and operation unit must be installed in a location further than the
measurements below (outside of the patient environment).
*Areas where the patient moves (not only during imaging but when entering and leaving
the room, etc.) are also considered as part of the patient environment, therefore the
installation location should be determined upon consultation with the user regarding
areas outside of the patient environment.
