If you notice any irregularity with the device, do not put it into operation. Depending on the problem, the device may suffer irreversible damage, which will lead to costly maintenance or discontinuity. Whenever the device fails, set it aside and contact the Arkmeds Support Team through the channel: https://www.arkmeds.us/support...
ACRONYMS AND DEFINITIONS DUT: Device Under Test. Applied Part: part of the device designed for physical contact with the patient. F-Type Applied Part: applied part electrically isolated from the ground and other medical device parts. B-Type Applied Part: part applied in compliance with specified requirements for protection against electric shock.
IEC 60601 SYMBOLOGY CONCEPTS In their approval processes, manufacturers of medical and hospital devices carry out extensive tests to verify the device’s performance at the end of the production line. In these processes, it is recommended to carry out checks that ensure no risk of harm to the patient and operator as soon as the device is approved for use.

Design: In the first stage, the device is designed pursuant to IEC 60601 (if applicable). Product Testing: During the production stage, the hardware and software of the device are assembled and verified pursuant to IEC 60601. Approval for Use: the device has passed the tests and is ready for use. Operator training: an extremely important step that guarantees the good use of the device and provides the operator with the best usage practices and their functionalities.

In the “Insulation Test” option, we will have access to the Insulation Resistance measurement test. Click Start to begin measurement.. Warning When TESLA is activated, the test will release 500 VDC in the device under test. Avoid contact with connecting parts of the device. This test is performed if:...
LEAKAGE CURRENT TEST The Leakage Current Test is a procedure that aims to verify the value of leakage current to the ground from the ground pin of the device and its applied parts. This test is done directly and in reverse. In addition, it is possible to activate each channel of the applied parts and activate individually: Phase, Neutral, and Ground.

Settings Enable the connected applied parts, jointly or individually, and perform Phase, Neutral, and Ground switching as per the standard. For the reverse test, click on the “Direct” option, and the link will be changed. If you want to go back to the “Direct” link, click on the option again.
The verification of the functional current of the tested device is performed by pressing the button “Turn on Device Under Tests.” When activating, the voltage is released to the DUT, and TESLA measures the functional current and apparent power of the device under test.
Just select the OS created by the App and enable the option to autofill all items or this item. A message will appear on the TESLA screen to make the connection and enable the automatic test. The test will start as defined in the checklist for the device in question by clicking Yes.
REMOTE ACCESS If your device has a problem, TESLA has the option of remote access that allows a better understanding of the failure in the field and its necessary corrections, if applicable, in addition to new updates. In case of failure, please contact our Support Team.
