Step 2: TESTING

• Verify production equivalent samples have been received and are operational
• Take photographs of device/system and components for report
• Conduct testing to the applicable base standard (IEC 60601-1 or IEC 61010-1)
• Conduct testing applicable Collateral Standards (if applicable)
• Conduct testing applicable Particular Standards (if applicable)
• Conduct testing applicable to National Differences

Step 3: DOCUMENTATION REVIEW

• Review and determine applicable standards and project scope (IEC 60601 or IEC 61010 standards)
• Perform construction evaluation, per standard(s) requirements
• Generate electrical Insulation diagram
• Review Critical Components for requirements
• Create applicable tests list
• Review requirements for user manual and device markings
• Review requirements for risk management, software, and usability
