10-7-6-2 Generic Procedure
Measurements should be made with the ground open and closed, with power line polarity normal and
reversed, and with the unit Off and On. For each combination, the operating controls such as the lead
switch should be operated to find the worst case condition.
10-7-7 Isolated Patient Lead (Source) Leakage–Lead to Lead
Reference the procedure in the IEC 60601-1. When using the Dale 600, switch the meter’s function
selector to the LEAD-LEAD position. Select and test each of the five ECG lead positions (except ALL)
on the LEAD selector, testing each to the power condition combinations found in the table. Record the
highest leakage current measured.
