AAMI 2700-2-1, Medical Devices and Medical Systems — Essential safety and performance requirements for equipment comprising the patient-centric integrated clinical environment (ICE): Part 2-1: Particular requirements or forensic Data logging (new American National Standard). This document provides general functional, performance, and interoperability requirements of ICE data logging systems including the recording and storage of data in support of forensic analysis of ICE systems. Data logs, data logging, and data loggers can play an important role in maintaining and improving the basic safety and essential performance of integrated clinical environments by enabling the forensic assessment of the ICE system and its components.

Comments due September 21, 2020
AAMI/IEC 62366-1:2015, Medical devices – Part 1: Application of usability engineering to medical devices (proposed reaffirmation of an American National Standard). This document specifies a process for a manufacturer to analyze, specify, develop and evaluate the usability of a medical device as it relates to safety. This usability engineering (human factors engineering) process permits the manufacturer to assess and mitigates risks associated with correct use and use errors, i.e., normal use. It can be used to identify but does not assess or mitigate risks associated with abnormal use. Contact: hchoe@aami.org
