Standard(Included in ASCA)
IEC  60601-2-29 Edition 3.0 2008-06
Medical electrical equipment - Part 2-29: Particular requirements for the basic safety and essential performance of radiotherapy simulators
Scope/Abstract
This Particular Standard applies to RADIOTHERAPY SIMULATORS:

- that use diagnostic X-RAY EQUIPMENT to simulate physically a RADIOTHERAPY RADIATION BEAM, so that the TREATMENT VOLUME to be subjected to IRRADIATION during RADIOTHERAPY can be localized, and the position and of the RADIOTHERAPY RADIATION FIELD can be confirmed;

- intended exciusively for RADIOTHERAPY simulation as a prelude to intended RADIOTHERAPY, and not for any other purpose such as general diagnostic examinations;

- used within the environmental and electrical supply conditions SPECIFIED in the technical description;

- comprising the following parts:

a system for producing an X-RAY BEAM, which simulates the geometry of the RADIOTHERAPY RADIATION BEAM;

a system for producing images of the transmitted X-RAY BEAM, for example, either by RADIOGRAPHY or RADIOSCOPY;

an assembly to control the and position of the RADIATION BEAM and to delineate the intended treatment area;

a mechanical structure that physically simulates the geometry and movements of the RADIOTHERAPY EQUIPMENT and supports the imaging system;

a PATIENT SUPPORT system
