Specifies the particular requirements for the electrical safety of transcutaneous partial pressure monitoring equipment and applies to equipment used with adults, children and neonates. It does not apply to haemoglobin saturation oximeters or to devices applied to surfaces of the body. This Standard is to be read in conjunction with AS 3200.1.0-1990. It is identical with and reproduced from IEC 601-2-23:1993.

This clause of the General Standard applies except as follows: 1.1* Scope Addition:This Particular Standard specifies the particular requirements for the safety ofTRANSCUTANEOUS PARTIAL PRESSURE MONITORING EQUIPMENT as defined in 2.101,hereinafter referred to as EQUIPMENT.This Standard applies to transcutaneous monitors used with adults, children and neonates and includes the use of these devices in foetal monitoring during birth.This Standard does not apply to haemoglobin saturation oximeters or to devices appliedto surfaces of the body other than the skin (for example conjunctiva, mucosa).
