Excelsys Technologies has successfully had its Xgen range of configurable power supplies approved to IEC 60601-1:2005 3rd Edition to meet new requirements. This is in addition to the existing approval to the 2nd Edition and ensures full medical approval is maintained during the transition period from 2nd to 3rd editions.
From June 30th 2013 the US FDA will no longer accept references to 60601 2nd Edition in any submissions. Sponsors or manufacturers pursuing FDA for approval of electrical medical devices will need to show compliance to ES60601-1 3rd edition. This is an across-the-board requirement for all aligned and Recognised Collaterals and Particular standards.
