Carl, What if it is addressed in your RMF? Considering it is ANSI/AAMI instead of IEC/EN, and the intended market, I would think this would be an area you could use the RMF and address it that way. If needed you could possible address this using Clause 4.5 (although, this might be a bit of a stretch here.) I would also check with your NB or safety lab that you use and see what they have to say.

This clause requires that measurement parameters be in SI units. I'm working on a therapeutic exercise device which requires patients to enter weight as a step in the setup process. American patients will be befuddled if required to enter kg. Anyone aware of a loophole? I'm working with the EN edition.
