Safety Tests

S(2): Protective Earth Test

S(3): Patient

Leakage Current

Test - AC

Test to perform:

The protective earth test measures impedance of Protective Earth (PE) terminal to all exposed metal parts of the Instrument under Test (IUT) which are connected to the Protective Earth (PE) for safety reasons. Normally it includes the wiring in the mains cable (max. 200 mOhm).

A test current of 25 Amps is applied for 5 to 10 seconds. It is recommended to flex the main cable during the test to identify potential bad contact or damage to the earth wire.

Safety test according to IEC 60601-1 (Clause 18).

Report the highest value.

Test to perform:

The patient leakage current test measures patient leakage current from the applied part to the earth caused by external main voltage on the applied part. Each polarity combination possible is to be tested. This test is applicable for ECG and SpO2.

Safety Test according IEC 60601-1 (Clause 19.4h).

Report the highest value.

S(4): Enclosure

Leakage Current

Test

-Normal Condition (NC)

S(5): Enclosure

Leakage Current

Test

-Single Fault Condition (SFC)

Open Supply

S(6): Enclosure Leakage Current

-Single Fault Condition Open Earth (Ground)

Test to perform:

The enclosure leakage current: normal condition test is applicable to Class 1 and 2 equipment, type B, BF, and CF Applied Parts. The test measures leakage current of exposed metal parts of the Instrument Under Test; it also tests normal and reversed polarity.

For Type BF and CF Applied Parts the test measures AP/GND. Safety Test according to IEC 60601-1 (Clause 19.4g).

Report the highest value.

Test to perform:

The enclosure leakage current: single fault condition open supply is applicable to Class 1 and 2 equipment, type B, BF, and CF Applied Parts. The test measures leakage current of exposed metal parts of the Instrument Under Test with one supply lead interrupted; it also tests normal and reversed polarity.

For type BF and CF Applied Parts the test measures AP/GND. Safety Test according IEC 60601-1 (Clause 19.4g).

Report the highest value.

Test to perform:

The enclosure leakage current: single fault condition open earth (ground) test is applicable to Class 1 equipment, type B, BF and CF Applied Parts. The test measures leakage current of exposed metal parts of the Instrument Under Test with Protective Earth open-circuit and normal; it also tests reversed polarity. For type BF and CF Applied Parts the test measures AP/GND.

Safety Test according IEC 60601-1 (Clause 19.4g).

Report the highest value.
