Environmental Dangers
Patient Vicinity UL60601-1 (USA)
Commercial devices such as laser cameras, printers, VCRs and external monitors,
usually exceed allowable leakage current limits and, when plugged into separate AC
outlets, are in violation of patient safety standards. Suitable electrical isolation of such
external AC outlets, or providing the device with extra protective earth, will be required
in order to meet UL60601-1 and IEC60601-1 / IEC60601-1-1 standards for electrical
leakage.
