DESCRIPTION
IEC 60601-1-11 is a mandatory standard provision geared toward determining and documenting failure and hazard potential of medical electrical equipment intended for home use. By addressing the challenges associated with regulating the use of medical devices in the home, we've identified key performance requirements that must be considered when designing a medical device for use outside of the traditional clinical environment.
