MSW Series IEC 60601-1-8 AMD2 (2020) Medical Alarms

Mallory Sonalert’s MSW series IEC 60601-1-8 AMD2 (2020) alarms with IEC specifications are ideal for audible alarms in medical equipment. Annex G of IEC 60601-1-8 AMD2 (2020) adds the ability to produce melody tones by using IEC supplied sound files. These alarms use the IEC sound files and are approved by UL to meet IEC 60601-1-8 AMD2 (2020) Annex G.

The MSW series uses the same PC pin layout and electronic control as the MSS series (23 mm x 13 mm). If a medical application is already using a 2 PC pin or 5 PC pin MSS model, the equivalent MSW model will drop right in. The model MSS5C (three cardiac priority tones) can directly be replaced by model MSW5C (three cardiac priority tones using IEC sound files).

Like the MSS series, the MSW series offers several different medical priority tone options such as one priority tone, all three priority tones, and models with one or two priority tones and a 2500 Hz non-medical tone which can be used for other audible indication needs.

Mallory 100% tests every medical alarm to verify qualification to IEC 60601-1-8, checks the sound level and current values, records the sounds generated by the alarm, and ties all this saved data to the serial number listed on the alarm label.
