IEC 60601-2-36: extracorporeally induced lithotripsy
In plain words
What it covers.
The particular standard for shock wave lithotripters. It covers the shock wave source, the alignment of the imaging system with the focus, triggering (including ECG triggering), and protection against unintended release. Focus alignment is the most important check: a misaligned focus treats tissue next to the stone.
A summary written by BMEssentia for learning, not the text of the standard. Always work from the current official edition and the manufacturer's instructions.
