Periodic Electrical Testing

Electrical Safety Tests must be performed by qualified personnel authorized
by the institution to perform such testing. The Safety Tests must be
performed and documented at least once per year, or according to
institutional policy. These tests include but are not limited to:

• Leakage current

• Ground bond test

Leakage Current
Leakage current must be tested according to methods and pass/fail
criteria described in IEC 60601-1:2005. Leakage current must be
performed with the heater circuit in the full ON condition. To achieve
this condition, perform the test when the reservoir is at room
temperature. When the HOTLINE
temperature is rapidly rising, but still below 39°C, the heater circuit is
in a full ON condition.
