In summary, the IEC 60601-1 standard is complex and simply shipping a medical device with basic documentation to a certification lab is no longer adequate. Understanding the many regional variations of the standard as well as its collateral and particular standards can become a major challenge. This is why CUI offers a comprehensive line of embedded and external medical power supplies ranging from 6 W to 550 W that have been certified to IEC 60601-1 edition 3.1 2 x MOPP safety standards and 4th edition EMC requirements in order to simplify the compliance process for medical device designers.
