Energy performance of medical devices

Check that the energy measurements was performed according to the methods and test conditions in the appendix, for example by controlling the test report.

The appendix "energy measurement of medical devices" describes how the energy use is to be measured and reported according to a pre-defined user scenario for the different types of medical equipment. For energy measurement of computed tomography, X-ray equipment and ultrasonic equipment, the contracting authority can choose between three different user scenarios. In the procurement, it must be stated which scenario to use.

At present, there is no data on average energy use for medical equipment. By requesting information about the energy use, you may be able to reward the equipment with the best energy performance or include data on energy use in a life cycle cost calculation in future procurement activities.

The version date indicates when the sustainability criterion was created or last updated. Last reviewed dated tells when we last checked that the sustainability criterion still is relevant.
