21、CAL COMMISSION _ ULTRASONICS OUTPUT TEST GUIDANCE FOR THE MAINTENANCE OF ULTRASOUND PHYSIOTHERAPY SYSTEMS FOREWORD 1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The

22、 object of IEC is to promote international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications, Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifi

23、cations (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non- governmental organizations

24、liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the two organizations. 2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters ex

25、press, as nearly as possible, an international consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all interested IEC National Committees. 3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National Comm

26、ittees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any misinterpretation by any end user. 4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC Natio

27、nal Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in the latter. 5) IEC itself does

28、not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any services carried out by independent certification bodies. 6) All users should ensure that they have

29、 the latest edition of this publication. 7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or other damage of any nature whatsoe

30、ver, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC Publications. 8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publicati

31、ons is indispensable for the correct application of this publication. 9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. The main task of IEC

32、technical committees is to prepare International Standards. In exceptional circumstances, a technical committee may propose the publication of a technical specification when the required support cannot be obtained for the publication of an International Standard, despite repeated efforts, or the sub

33、ject is still under technical development or where, for any other reason, there is the future but no immediate possibility of an agreement on an International Standard. Technical specifications are subject to review within three years of publication to decide whether they can be transformed into Int

34、ernational Standards. IEC TS 62462, which is a Technical Specification, has been prepared by IEC technical committee 87: Ultrasonics. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2007. This edition constitutes a technical revision. IEC TS 62462:2017 IEC 2017 5 This edition

35、 includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition: addition of a novel method for periodic testing regarding possible changes of the effective radiating area using thermochromic absorbers in a new Annex E; The text of this Technical Specification is based on

36、the following documents: Enquiry draft Report on voting 87/640/DTS 87/647A/RVDTS Full information on the voting for the approval of this technical specification can be found in the report on voting indicated in the above table. This document has been drafted in accordance with the ISO/IEC Directives

37、, Part 2. In this document, the following print types are used: requirements: in roman type; notes: in small roman type; words in bold in the text are defined in Clause 3. The committee has decided that the contents of this document will remain unchanged until the stability date indicated on the IEC

38、 website under “http:/webstore.iec.ch“ in the data related to the specific document. At this date, the document will be reconfirmed, withdrawn, replaced by a revised edition, or amended. A bilingual version of this publication may be issued at a later date. IMPORTANT The colour inside logo on the co

39、ver page of this publication indicates that it contains colours which are considered to be useful for the correct understanding of its contents. Users should therefore print this document using a colour printer. 6 IEC TS 62462:2017 IEC 2017 INTRODUCTION The purpose of this document is to establish s

40、tandard methods for a qualitative check of the performance of ultrasound physiotherapy devices during their lifetime, and to provide guidance on calibration requirements and techniques. To ensure that the ultrasound physiotherapy equipment is in an appropriate condition for use, a regular quality ch

41、eck can be performed. This document defines acceptance, weekly and annual checks. The acceptance test checks the delivery of the device and its performance at the start of its lifetime. The weekly check is a simple qualitative check of device operation. In the annual check, in addition to a qualitat

42、ive check, a quantitative check is defined. Examples are provided of weekly and annual test reports. This document also gives guidance to the testers concerning the measurement of acoustic output. Annual testing may be performed by a skilled tester, e.g. biomedical engineer, medical physicist, medic

43、al device service agent, commercial tester, test house, national measurement institute or manufacturer. IEC TS 62462:2017 IEC 2017 7 ULTRASONICS OUTPUT TEST GUIDANCE FOR THE MAINTENANCE OF ULTRASOUND PHYSIOTHERAPY SYSTEMS 1 Scope This document, which is a Technical Specification, describes methods m

44、eant to assist users of ultrasound physiotherapy systems in checking the performance of such systems. It is applicable primarily to physiotherapists, general medical practitioners, chiropractors, osteopaths, beauty therapists, sports professionals, biomedical engineers, medical physicists, medical d

45、evice service agents, commercial testers, test houses or manufacturers. Typical ultrasound physiotherapy systems operate in the range from 0,5 MHz to 5 MHz. Long-wave ultrasound therapy machines operating in the frequency range 30 kHz to 0,5 MHz are not covered by this document. 2 Normative referenc
