Hi everyone,
For the past year I've been working in a team developing a HAND-HELD dosing device for people that today administer their prescription drugs with pills or capsules. The idea is to load the device with pellets and then dispense pellets on the demand of the "patient".
The reason for "patient" and not PATIENT is that the definition of patient in the IEC 60601-1 states:
If anyone has any experience from similar cases or just feel confident in their interpretation of the PATIENT definition please let me know!
Kind Regards,
Oscar

- PATIENT: living being (person or animal) undergoing a medical, surgical or dental procedure
NOTE A PATIENT can be an OPERATOR
