LOGIQ/Vivid/Voluson Ultrasound System Leakage Current Limits
(continued)
*ISO and Mains Applied refers to the sink leakage test where
mains (supply) voltage is applied to the applied part to
determine the amount of current that will pass (or sink) to ground
if a patient is in contact with mains voltage.
