BS EN IEC 60601‑2‑83 is the second part of the multi-series standard that focuses on medical electrical equipment with requirements for the basic safety and essential performance of home light therapy equipment.
BS EN IEC 60601‑2‑83 describes light therapy using eye-mediated photobiological effects (which can be visual or non-visual) and skin-mediated photobiological effects (non-visual only). Possible applications include pain relief, psoriasis treatment, and treatment of winter depression (seasonal affective disorder, SAD).
BS EN IEC 60601‑2‑83 guides you in improving the basic safety and essential performance of home light therapy equipment.
BS EN IEC 60601‑2‑83 on requirements for the basic safety and essential performance of home light therapy equipment is useful for:
BS EN IEC 60601‑2‑83 has been prepared to provide safety requirements for home light therapy equipment and its collateral standards. This equipment is intended to be used in the home healthcare environment and is typically used by a lay operator, who is familiar with this environment and the specific characteristics of lamps.
BS EN IEC 60601‑2‑83 covers light source equipment providing light therapy by means of non-visual photobiological effects. BS EN IEC 60601‑2‑83 also focuses on radiation aspects and related markings.
BS EN IEC 60601‑2‑83 provides such specific requirements for household appliances with light sources for cosmetic and beauty care but does not apply to equipment with medical purposes. BS EN IEC 60601‑2‑83 addresses all safety requirements for home light therapy equipment and has addressed other relevant requirements.
BS EN IEC 60601‑2‑83 will help you improve the safety of home light therapy equipment.
