FR Recognition Number 3-123
Standard(Included in ASCA)
IEC  80601-2-30: Edition 2.0 2018-03
Medical electrical equipment - Part 2-30: Particular requirements for the basic safety and essential performance of automated non-invasive sphygmomanometers
Identical Adoption
ANSI AAMI IEC 80601-2-30:2018
Medical electrical equipment - Part 2-30: Particular requirements for basic safety and essential performance of automated type non-invasive sphygmomanometers
Scope/Abstract
This International Standard applies to the basic safety and essential performance of automated sphygmomanometers, hereafter referred to as ME equipment, which by means of an inflatable cuff, are used for intermittent indirect measurement of the blood pressure without arterial puncture.
Extent of Recognition
Partial recognition. The following part(s) of the standard is (are) not recognized:
Clause 211.8.3.1 Ingress of water or particulate matter into ME equipment.
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. Contact FDA regarding the use of the device prior to using this standard to support claims for use during patient transport, ambulatory monitoring, stress and/or exercise testing.

Clause 211.8.3.1 does not provide a rationale for the change from IP21 to the less stringent IP20. This is inconsistent with ambulatory ME such as IEC 60601-2-27 Clause 201.11.65 and IEC 80601-2-61 Clause 201.7.2.9.101 IP Classification, and Clause 201.11.6.5.101 Additional requirements for ingress of water or particular matter into ME equipment or ME System.
