Instead of the test bodies in the safety test body kit, other applicable test bodies with
pins connected together may be used.
Perform electrical safety tests using an electrical safety analyzer per IEC 60601-1, UL
60601-1, EN 60601-1 or CSA C22.2 No. 601.1. The schematics in this section
provide a general understanding of the test equipment. Actual configuration of test
equipment may vary.
The patient monitor being tested should be placed on an insulating surface.
NOTE
Before proceeding, make sure that all test equipment is properly calibrated and
functioning.
Ensure that all the system components are correctly connected as described in
"Connect system components"
Verify that the power outlet is wired correctly per the country's electrical code
standard before starting the following electrical safety tests. The results of the
following tests will be inaccurate unless a properly wired power outlet is used. Use
only non-isolated power outlets when performing safety tests.
Verify the power cord being used with the patient monitor is good. The following are
a couple of things to check for in this regard:
Inspect the power cord for wear or damage regularly. If damage is suspected, test
for continuity through each conductor of the power cord connector.
Verify line, neutral, and earth conductors are properly connected to the power
cord plug and are not short-circuited. Replace the power cord, as necessary, with
