Subclause 1.1 of the general standard is replaced by:
This International Standard applies to the BASIC SAFETY and ESSENTIAL PERFORMANCE of
MEDICAL BEDS, hereafter referred to as MEDICAL BED for adults as defined in 201.3.213.
If a clause or subclause is specifically intended to be applicable to a MEDICAL BED 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 MEDICAL BED and to ME SYSTEMS, as relevant.
HAZARDS inherent in the intended physiological function of MEDICAL BED or ME SYSTEMS within
the scope of this standard are not covered by specific requirements in this standard except in
7.2.13 and 8.4.1 of the general standard.
NOTE: See also 4.2 of the General Standard.
This standard can also be applied to MEDICAL BED used for compensation or alleviation of disease, injury or disability.
