IEC 60601-2-4 Medical Electrical Equipment, Part 2-4: Special Requirements for Basic Safety and Basic Performance of Cardiac Defibrillators

EUROLAB laboratory provides testing and compliance service within the scope of IEC 60601-2-4 standard. The IEC 60601-2-4 standard describes the basic safety and basic performance criteria of cardiac defibrillators (devices that allow the abnormal beat of the heart to return to normal heart rhythm).

Electrical devices called defibrillators are used to return the abnormal beating of the heart to normal heart rhythm. When electrical energy is shocked to the heart with this device, the heart is stimulated externally and contracts.

This medical equipment is also used in the treatment of rhythm disorders in the heart. There are also small-sized and portable devices that have the ability to analyze the heart rhythm, provide circulation when necessary, and apply electroshock to return the heart to a normal rhythm.

Defibrillators are considered among high risk medical equipment. In order to prevent malfunction of this device during its use, testing and calibration measurements must be made every six months according to international standards. There are various warning indicators on the device.

Briefly, shockable rhythm is defined with defibrillator devices, the complex rhythm is corrected, the patient's condition is monitored and the patient's electrocardiogram is seen.
