Scope

This International Standard is applicable to medical ultrasonic equipment capable of inducing a temperature rise.This International Standard is meant to support the safety standards through providing the details of temperature measurements necessary to confirm with safety requirements therein and establishes:the important characteristics, calculations and terminology for determining temperature rise for diagnostic, therapeutic and surgical ultrasound equipment; requirements for temperature rise measurements for each type of medical ultrasound equipment; general test methods for still air and using test objects to determine standardized temperature rises; validation procedures.This International Standard does not address methods for simulation of temperature rise.
