3.6 Electrical Safety Tests
WARNING
 Electrical safety tests are a proven means of detecting abnormalities that, if undetected, could
prove dangerous to either the patient or the operator.
 All tests can be performed using commercially available safety analyzer test equipment.
Maintenance personnel shall ensure the adaptability, functional completeness and safety of
these pieces of test equipment, and be familiar with their usage.
 Electrical safety tests shall comply with the following standards: IEC 60601-1 and ANSI/AAMI
ES60601-1.
 In case of other stipulations in local laws and regulations, implement electrical safety tests by
following relevant stipulations.
 All devices driven by AC power and connected to medical instruments in patient zones must
comply with the IEC 60601-1 standard. And electrical safety tests on these devices must be
implemented in accordance with the test interval of the patient monitor.
 Use certified safety analyzer (for example, UL, CSA or AMAI) as instructed to perform relevant
tests.
NOTE
 Electrical safety check shall be performed after repair or routine maintenance. Ensure that all
cover boards, panels and screws are correctly installed before implementing electrical safety
tests.
 Electrical safety tests are used to timely detect potential electrical safety risks that might cause
damage to patients, operators or maintenance personnel. Electrical safety tests must be
carried out under normal environmental conditions (that is, normal temperature, humidity and
barometric pressure).
