Instructions for measuring the Patient Leakage Current at the Body Coil
Body Coil (type B part applied)
It is not necessary to measure the patient leakage current at the body coil.
Reasons:
• applied part has a non-conducting surface,
• the live parts are separated from the applied part by a power supply/transformer with
double insulation (2 MOPP) as per IEC 60601-1, section 17.a.3 and 17.a.4 (2nd edition),
and section 8.5.2 (3rd edition).
Instructions for measuring the Patient Leakage Current at the ECG/
Pulse Module
ECG/Pulse Module (type BF part applied)
It is not necessary to measure the patient leakage current at the applied part of the ECG/
Pulse module.
Reasons:
• the applied part of the ECG/Pulse module is powered by a battery,
• the applied part of the ECG/Pulse module is completely electrically isolated by a wireless
RF operation.
