IEC 60601-2-49 Ed. 2.0 b:2011 has in the description “The scope of this standard is restricted to medical electrical equipment intended for connection to a single patient that has either two or more applied parts or multiple functions on an applied part.”
The device we are considering is similar to thoracic bioimpedance where you have 2 patient auxiliary circuits and 4+ monitoring leads. It is not clear if the auxiliary circuits and monitoring are each considered as seperate applied parts, and if this standard applies.
