PRELIMINARY
10-6-6 Isolated Patient Lead (Source) Leakage – Lead-to-Ground
10-6-6-1 Definition
This test measures the current which would flow to Ground from any of the isolated ECG leads. The
meter simulates a patient who is connected to the monitoring equipment and is grounded by touching
some other grounded surface.
Measurements should be made with the Ground open and closed, with power line polarity normal and
reversed, and with the ultrasound console OFF and ON. For each combination the operating controls,
such as the lead switch, should be operated to find the worst case condition.
10-6-6-2 Generic Procedure
Measurements should be made with the Ground Open and Closed, with power line polarity Normal
and Reversed, and with the Vivid S5 N or Vivid S6 N unit ON and OFF. For each combination, the
operating controls (such as, the lead switch) should be operated to find the worst case condition.
.
CAUTION
Equipment damage possibility. To avoid damaging the unit, never switch the polarity and the
neutral status when the unit is powered ON.
Be sure to turn the unit power OFF before switching them, using the Polarity switch and/or the
Neutral switch.
