Electrical Safety Tests: Leakage Current Tests

The suggested safety analysis tests comply with the international standard IEC
60601-1. Perform the tests with safety testing instruments with measuring circuits
calibrated according to IEC 60601-1. To ensure personal safety, refer to the user
documentation that came with the testing instrument.

Perform the tests under normal, ambient conditions of temperature, humidity, and
pressure with line voltage.
The leakage currents correspond to 110% of the rated voltage for the tested unit. If
this is not taken into account when performing the leakage tests, you must calculate
the measured values.
Confirm that the current leakage test results meet the requirements. All indicated
electrical safety checks require a pass/fail indication for the steps performed. Record
the measurement values in your debrief.
You need to conduct the following safety tests:
• “Enclosure (Chassis) Leakage Current Test” on page 53
• “Patient Leakage Current Tests” on page 54
Complete the electrical safety tests according to the following recommended
schedule:
• After initial setup
• Once every 12 months after setup as part of a regular maintenance plan
• Whenever power sources are affected by servicing
The following electrical diagram shows the Measuring Circuit [M], required for leakage
current. The reading in mV corresponds to mA (leakage current). The safety tester
instruments generally work with this Measuring Circuit [M] and the displayed values
are converted to leakage current.
Measuring Instrument/Calibrator (R,≥1 MΩ)
