Medical isolation transformers updated to comply with regulation
The medical isolation transformers from REO's REOMED range have been updated to bring them into line with changes to the third edition of IEC/EN/UL 60601-1:2005. The range is targeted at patient environments where the rise in the complexity of medical devices has increased mains electrical interference and introduced the risk of electrical shocks and errors in monitoring equipment.
Medical device design has undergone a significant evolution over the last three decades. The new IEC 60601-1 standard, first introduced in 1977, now governs the design methodology, verification, safety and risk analysis as well as the implementation of medical electrical equipment.
Part of the transition from the second to third edition involved introducing clearer guidance on protection circuitry in relation to AC/DC power conversion, distribution and protection. The range uses various means of patient and operator protection (MOPP and MOOP) to meet the stringent requirements related to isolation, impedance, insulation, creepage distances, clearance and leakage currents.
Available in three sizes, the REOMED range of medical transformers has a power rating between 300-1,000W and provides short-circuit and overload protection, all contained in a sturdy metal housing.
The REOMED transformer was tested in REO's testing facility in Pfarrkirchen, Germany. Having built a wealth of experience, the facility develops and produces REO transformers for medical applications conforming to global standards and setting a benchmark for risk-free operation and efficiency.
