Good afternoon everybody,
I am currently trying to identify the hazards on a medical device. One of the inputs for that is the hazards identified in the applicable standards. Table 19 in chapter 9 of the general standard lists "Moving and positioning of PATIENT" as one of the hazards addressed by 9.2 Moving parts and 9.4 Unstability.
I think I have a good handle on all the other hazards in table 19, but I don't understand this one. English is not my native language so it could be part of the issue.
My intuition tells me that unexpected movement or position of the patient could cause hazards through interaction with other parts of the ME system or even external sources. Is that correct?
Really thankful about any help!
