Peter, John: I agree with John's interpretation above. A couple of years ago I worked on a portable defibrillator/EKG device that had a modem in it for sending data back to the hospital. We used the relevant requirements for a medical product, but did supplementary testing for the telecom interface using EN 60950 and UL 1950. For Europe, you might even consider EN 41003 (if it is still around), since that was intended to cover the generic case of connection to the telecom network. For most products the ITE safety standard EN 60950 has superseded EN 41003, but for a medical product EN 41003 might be a good match.
