IEC  60601-2-43 Edition 3.0 2022-12
Medical electrical equipment - Part 2-43: Particular requirements for the safety and essential performance of X-ray equipment for interventional procedures
Scope/Abstract
This document applies to the BASIC SAFETY and ESSENTIAL PERFORMANCE of both FIXED and MOBILE X-RAY EQUIPMENT declared by the MANUFACTURER to be suitable for RADIOSCOPICALLYGUIDED INTERVENTIONAL PROCEDURES, hereafter referred to as INTERVENTIONAL X-RAY EQUIPMENT. Its scope excludes, in particular:
- equipment for RADIOTHERAPY;
- equipment for COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY;
- ACCESSORIES intended to be introduced into the PATIENT;
- mammographic XRAY EQUIPMENT;
- dental X-RAY EQUIPMENT.
NOTE 1 Examples of RADIOSCOPICALLY GUIDED INTERVENTIONAL PROCEDURES, for which the use of INTERVENTIONALX-RAY EQUIPMENT complying with this document is recommended, are given in Annex AA.
NOTE 2 Specific requirements for magnetic navigation devices, and for the use of INTERVENTIONAL X-RAY EQUIPMENT in an operating room environment were not considered in this document; therefore, no specific requirements have been developed for these devices or uses. In any case, such devices or uses remain under the general clause requirements.
NOTE 3 INTERVENTIONAL X-RAY EQUIPMENT, when used for cone-beam CT mode, is covered by this document and not by IEC 60601-2-44 [1]1. No additional requirements for operation in cone-beam CT mode were identified for this document (see also Note 5 in 203.6.4.5).

INTERVENTIONAL X-RAY EQUIPMENT declared by the MANUFACTURER to be suitable for RADIOSCOPICALLY GUIDED INTERVENTIONAL PROCEDURES, which does not include a PATIENTSUPPORT as part of the system, is exempt from the PATIENT SUPPORT provisions of this document. If a clause or subclause is specifically intended to be applicable to INTERVENTIONAL X-RAYEQUIPMENT only, or to ME SYSTEMS only, the title and content of that clause or subclause will say so. If that is not the case, the clause or subclause applies both to INTERVENTIONAL X-RAYEQUIPMENT and to ME SYSTEMS, as relevant.

IEC 60601-2-54 applies only with regards to the cited subclauses; non-cited subclauses of IEC 60601-2-54 do not apply.
Extent of Recognition

Rationale for Recognition
This standard is relevant to medical devices and is recognized on its scientific and technical merit and/or because it supports existing regulatory policies.
Transition Period
FDA recognition of IEC 60601-2-43 Edition 2.2 2019-10 CONSOLIDATED VERSION [Rec# 12-329] will be superseded by recognition of IEC 60601-2-43 Edition 3.0 2022-12 [Rec# 12-351]. FDA will accept declarations of conformity, in support of premarket submissions, to [Rec# 12-329] until July 5, 2026. After this transition period, declarations of conformity to [Rec# 12-329] will not be accepted.
