Periodic Electrical Testing

Earth Leakage

The Fluid Warmer must be tested in accordance with EN 60601-1.
The earth leakage current test should be performed with the immersion
heater circuit in the full ON condition; for this reason the leakage
current test should be performed on units which have room
temperature recirculating solution in the reservoir. Units not meeting
this standard should be returned to Smiths Medical or your local Smiths
Medical distributor.

Ground Continuity

The Fluid Warmer must be tested in accordance with EN 60601-1.
Grounding reliability can be achieved only when MAINS power
cords are connected to a properly grounded receptacle. Risk of
electrical shock exists if the equipment is not connected to a
properly grounded receptacle resulting in death or serious
injury to the patient or user.
