technical standards.
In Australia, the relevant technical standards are:
e AS3551 Technical management programs for medical devices.
This standard specifies procedures required to develop equipment management programs
for medical devices. Some of these include procedures for acceptance, fault management
and routine testing of medical devices. This standard specifies electrical safety, essential
safety and performance testing.
e AS2500 Guide to the safe use of electricity in patient care.
This standard provides a comprehensive guide to the safe use of electrically operated
equipment used in health care facilities. Measures are detailed to provide and maintain
patient and operator safety, including details of the classes of equipment and electrical
installations to be used for particular medical procedures.
Programmed electrical safety inspections are essential to confirm continued operator and
patient safety. Mandatory, statutory requirements for electrical safety inspections may also
apply.
