23、:51, Uncontrolled Copy, (c) BSI BS EN 13718-1:2008 EN 13718-1:2008 (E) 4 Introduction This European Standard gives minimum requirements for interfaces and compatibility of medical devices used in air ambulances. The standards work was called for by the EU Commission by a mandate from the Medical Dev
24、ice Directive (see Bibliography and Annex ZA). This European Standard is supplementary to several other European Standards and gives requirements for medical devices when used in situations where the ambient conditions differ from the normal indoor conditions prevailing within the health care system
25、. Several specific requirements are related to the conditions prevailing in air ambulances. The requirements set are carefully selected to ensure interoperability and continuous patient care. The medical devices are being used by the services in air ambulances. Air ambulances carry medical devices a
26、s well as medicinal products and rescue equipment to be used by medical personnel. Medical devices need to conform to the applicable essential requirements. The essential requirements are listed in Annex I to the Medical Device Directive (MDD). Annex ZA indicates related essential requirements that
27、are addressed in identified clauses of this European Standard. The environmental conditions for medical devices used in air ambulances are different from those expected in a normal hospital environment. In particular, this implies environmental conditions such as temperature and humidity, vibration
28、and shock caused by movement of the air ambulances, variable atmospheric pressures and electromagnetic disturbances between the air ambulances and the medical device.

29、 Scope This European Standard specifies general requirements for medical devices carried in air ambulances and used therein and outside hospitals and clinics in situations where the ambient conditions can differ from normal indoor conditions. This European Standard does not cover the requirements fo
