6.2 Recurrent Test Requirements

6.2.1 Overview

Interval

The recurrent test should be performed once annually.

For sustained safety of the equipment, a yearly electrical safety test according to IEC 62353 is

required.

NOTE: Local regulations and requirements that vary from this standard take precedent.

Alternatively, the test can be performed according to IEC 60601-1.

Scope

The electrical safety test must comprise all steps listed in the safety inspection form. In addition to

the safety inspection form, the safety inspection also comprises the further inspections described

in the Maintenance chapter.

In addition, Brainlab support or authorized partners shall regularly clean air intake filters and

exchange the battery when necessary.

Inspections by Non-Brainlab Personnel

Only qualified, trained and skilled personnel are allowed to perform electrical safety tests.

• Is qualified to carry out safety inspections on electrical medical equipment.

• Is familiar with the product safety information and product instructions, and has read and

understood the user guides.

• Is up-to-date with current local regulations regarding industrial and non-industrial accident

prevention.

• Informs Brainlab immediately in writing if the equipment is deemed unsafe.

this inspection for a set fee.
