We manufacture internal probes and need to test per 60601-2-37. Any input from others who have had to test internal probes (excessive temps) and what was used to test?
Thanks

It's IEC 60601-2-37, medical device standard requirements for ultrasound equipment.Is 60601-2-37 an ANSI standard or what?
It's an ultrasound probe, not a temperature probe.Hello, Dutton! Along with Marc's question, I do have a question or two. What are the excessive temps you are referring to? Obviously I am not familar with your quoted specs, but I have tested a temperature probe or two!
In order to test - probe must be no less than 37C.
DuttonT, you´re misreading.
What has to be at 37 (and have to be mantanied at this temperature) is the test material, i.e., the mimicking material, because it simulates human temperature.
The surface temperature of the ultrasound probe under test cannot exceed 43, in case of test 1, and 50, in case of test 2 (air instead of mimicking material).
It's an ultrasound probe, not a temperature probe.
