18、cretariat of which is held by DIN. This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by November 2011, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by November 2011. Attention is
19、 drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. CEN and/or CENELEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. This document supersedes EN 13976-2:2003. This document has been prepared under a mandate given to
20、 CEN by the European Commission and the European Free Trade Association, and supports essential requirements of EU Directive(s). For relationship with EU Directive(s), see informative Annex ZA, which is an integral part of this document. EN 13976-2:2003 has been technically revised. The following po
21、ints represent the most important changes in the revision: 1) clarified ambiguous and unclear issues between the two parts (requirements for the transport incubator system interface conditions and system requirements, respectively); 2) proposed items in order to improve fixation, interchangeability
22、and interoperability of the transport incubator system when transported in hospitals and between hospitals using different ambulances and air crafts; 3) adapted the standard to developments in neonatal intensive care; 4) excluded proposals on standards for stretchers, vehicles or medical devices.

23、 13976 consists of the following parts, under the general title: Rescue systems Transportation of incubators: Part 1: Interface conditions Part 2: System requirements. According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following countries are bound to impl

DIN EN 13976-2:2011-08 EN 13976-2:2011 (E) 4 Introduction This European Standard gives the requirements for a transport incubator system that will ensure its interchangeability as well as its safe and effective function in different vehicles or crafts. Such systems
26、are essential in allowing the uninterrupted care of patients. Requirements for interface conditions are given in part 1 (EN 13976-1). DIN EN 13976-2:2011-08 EN 13976-2:2011 (E) 5 1 Scope This European Standard specifies the requirements for a transport incubator system needed for care and treatment
27、of infants, used in emergency or planned transport. It specifies the particular requirements needed to ensure the proper function of equipment during transportation (e.g. monitors, respirators, infusion pumps, extra corporeal lung support- (ECLS-) systems, gas supply) and to provide safe transportat
28、ion for infants and operators. This European Standard also stipulates that the equipment or systems shall not interfere with the functions of the ambulance providing transportation. This European Standard does not give requirements for the vehicles, crafts, devices or incubators as such, these requi
29、rements are found in other standards. However, transport incubators are normally combined with other equipment to form a “transport incubator system”. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.

36、ly. 4 General requirements 4.1 System combination Requirements for interfaces are found in part 1 of this standard (EN 13976-1) and basic requirements for transport incubators are described in EN 60601-2-20. Any medical device which is part of the transport incubator system shall be designed for use
37、 with neonates and infants and for use in transport settings. All of the equipment that is integrated or part of the system shall be tested according to the existing standards relevant to the type of vehicle in which it is to be used. Equipment employed as part of transport incubator system shall be
38、 specified by the manufacturer as having an intended use in transportation by road and air ambulances and labelled according to the standard. NOTE Basic requirements for vehicles used as ambulances and medical devices in these vehicles are described in EN 1789 for road ambulances, in EN 13718-1 and
39、EN 13718-2 for air ambulances and in EN 1865 for stretchers. 4.2 Suspension/noise/comfort (shock-absorption) Ear defenders for the infants shall be used during all transports. Noise from additional equipment shall not exceed 60 dB(A) as set by EN 60601-2-20. NOTE Vibration and noise can interfere wi
40、th the general comfort and well-being of infants. Therefore the vibration to which they are exposed should be as low as possible. The transportation of the baby should be at an appropriate speed to ensure the comfort of the baby. High speeds are rarely necessary. 4.3 Temperature conditions 4.3.1 The
41、 transport incubator system shall comply with the relevant requirements of EN 60601-2-20 as a minimum standard with regard to controlling the internal temperature. 4.3.2 Where the transport incubator system is to be used at extremes of temperature, additional test data shall be supplied in the accom
42、panying documents. These should include, where relevant, information about operation during exposure up to + 40 C for 15 min and 30 C for 15 min. The effect of wind chill at intermediate temperatures should be considered. 4.4 Ingress of liquids All equipment forming part of the transport incubator s
43、ystem shall be drip-proof according to EN 60601-2-20. If the equipment complies with this standard only with an additional accessory or procedure, the manufacturer shall describe in the accompanying documents how to comply with this standard. 4.5 Vibration All equipment forming part of the transport
44、 incubator system shall comply with EN 1789 or EN 13718-1 and EN 13718-2. 4.6 Mechanical integrity All equipment forming part of the transport incubator system shall comply with EN 60601-1. DIN EN 13976-2:2011-08 EN 13976-2:2011 (E) 7 EN 60601-2-20 applies for transport incubators. The free fall tes
45、t in EN 1789 applies (i.e. 0,75 m) for hand-held equipment. 4.7 EMC All equipment forming part of the transport incubator system shall comply with EN 60601-1-2 and EN 60601-2-20. Equipment used during air transportation shall comply with RTCA DO 160. For equipment used for transportation, each user
46、shall carry out mutual compatibility assessments when required to ensure that all medical equipment functions correctly in each mode of transport and with every type of equipment for communication and/or navigation to be used during the transport. NOTE The manufacturer should include the requirement
47、 for mutual compatibility assessments in the instructions for use. 4.8 Mass The mass of the transport incubator system including its rail parts shall not exceed 140 kg. The requirement for stretchers defined in EN 1865 is 150 kg minimum loading capacity, a margin of 10 kg for the interface is used.
48、The TIS shall be marked with its weight. NOTE 1 This clause does not apply for cases where the trolley is an integral part of the TIS. NOTE 2 In all cases the mass should be as low as possible. In cases where the TIS has to be transported in air ambulances more restrictive weight limits may apply. 4
49、.9 Electricity The transport incubator system shall be capable of operating on 12 V DC, 24 V DC or, 24VDC and 230 V AC/50 Hz power supplies during transport. The electrical system shall be designed to prevent the vehicle from draining electrical power from the transport incubator system or its interface equipment. 4.10 Fixation of component parts All component parts of the transport incubator system shall be securely fixed in road ambulances in conformity with EN 1789 and test criteri
