2. Plug the cord of the safety analyzer into the Controller/AC Power Pack.
3. Follow steps 5-8 in Procedure A
4. Record the resistance reading. An acceptable reading is a maximum of 100.0 mΩ at a
current of 25 A.
2. Leakage current at the AC power cord
Equipment
Safety analyzer with test lead
enFlow Controller/AC Power Pack
Purpose
This test is run to check the chassis leakage in microamps. For the purpose of this test the
Controller/AC Power Pack is the chassis.
Procedure
1. Plug the power cord of the Controller/AC Power Pack into the safety analyzer.
2. Turn the knob on the safety analyzer to the chassis leakage function.
3. Power the safety analyzer by plugging in and setting the MAINS power to ON.
4. Record the polarity and ground readings for the Controller/AC Power Pack for both power on
and off scenarios for the following configurations:
ENCLOSURE LEAKAGE CURRENT
Normal polarity — normal ground
Reverse polarity — normal
ground
Reverse polarity — open ground
Normal polarity — open ground
3. Leakage current of the Warmer to the
saline in the IV line
Equipment
enFlow Warmer and Disposable Cartridge
Safety analyzer with ECG leads
Saline
Wire
Extension set with a non-venting cap
Purpose
The purpose of this test is to check the leakage of
current from the Warmer into saline. As IV fluids are
generally conductive, a fluid warmer is considered to be
electrically connected to the patient similar to an ECG
lead; therefore, the leakage needs to be tested. The
setup for this procedure is described below.
Procedure
1. Leave the cap on the female end of the
cartridge.
2. Put an extension set on the male end.
3. Insert a piece of wire into the extension set tubing.
4. Fill the cartridge and extension set tubing with saline. Note
