Electrical Safety Tests
10-6-1 Safety Test Overview
The electrical safety tests in this section are based on and conform to ANSI/AAMI ES60601-1(For USA)
and IEC60601-1 Medical Equipment Safety Standards. They are intended for the electrical safety
evaluation of cord-connected, electrically operated, patient care equipment. If additional information is
needed, refer to the ANSI/AAMI ES60601-1(For USA) and IEC 60601-1 documents.
To minimize the risk of a probe causing electrical shock, the customer should observe the following
recommendations:(twice a year is recommended)
• DO NOT use a probe that is cracked or damaged in any way
• Check probe leakage current:
* once a year on surface probes (or in accordance with your facilities QA program)
* once a year on endocavitary probes (or in accordance with your facilities QA program)
* whenever probe damage is suspected
WARNINGWARNING
!! WARNING:
THE USER MUST ENSURE THAT THE SAFETY INSPECTIONS ARE PERFORMED AT
