The PATIENT ENVIRONMENT is defined as within 1.5m of the patient (60601-1). The idea is that patients cannot reach 1.5m without moving their body. I don’t know where 5m comes from.

It has no patient contact, and essentially is a PC for recalling and displaying patient information. I can find loads of requirements for devices that attach to patients, or attach indirectly for patients, but nothing thats benign like this. Can anyone suggest what requirements exist please?
