Medical Device Electrical Safety – IEC 60601-1 3rd Edition (Ed3.1) and Introduction to Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) Requirements
2-day training session
About the training
IEC 60601-1 3rd Edition represents the benchmark for medical electrical equipment and compliance to the standard is a requirement in many countries including Europe (EN 60601-1:2006). Therefore, GMED North America has created a 2-day training session, to equip medical device manufacturers with the right strategy to ensure their Medical Device Electrical Safety processes can withstand heightened scrutiny from NBs.
This comprehensive 2-day course covers the general details of the standard and features numerous built-in knowledge checks that allow learners to apply and reinforce the new concepts throughout the training. Designed to build a solid foundation, the course explores key aspects of the standard including its general philosophy, scope, structure, evolution, adaptation for use as national standards, the use of risk management and the requirements for markings and accompanying documents.
GMED North America has created a 2-day training session, to equip medical device manufacturers with the right understanding and implementation of the Medical Device Electrical Safety Standard (IEC 6060-1 3rd Edition).
