DIRECTION 5394227, 12 LOGIQ S8/LOGIQ E8 SERVICE MANUAL
Section 2-4 - Environmental Dangers 2 - 13
2-4-2 Patient Environment IEC60601-1 (IEC60601-1-1) and ANSI AAMI ES60601-1
Sub Clause 2.202 and figure 201 (IEC60601-1-1:2000)
Sub Clause 3.79 and figure A.9 (IEC60601-1:2005 and ANSI AAMI ES60601-1:2005)
Such an area is an environment in which medical diagnosis, monitoring or treatment is carried out. It is
very difficult to attach unique dimensions to the PATIENT ENVIROMENT. In practice, a distance of 2,5
m (8.2 ft.) above the floor on which the medical personnel stand and a horizontal distance of 1,5 m (4.9
ft.) have justified themselves as indicative of the dimensions of the Patient Environment.
The patient environment/vicinity will be depicted as a dashed line in this procedure. See example below.
