Follow these steps to test each probe for leakage current:
1) Turn the Vivid™ S60/Vivid™ S70 OFF.
2) Plug the Ultrasound system’s mains power cord into the test meter, and plug the test meter into the
tested AC wall outlet.
3) Plug the Chassis Ground Probe (saline probe) into the test meter's “CHASSIS” connector.
4) Using any calibrated Electrical Safety Analyzer tool compliant with AAMI/ESI 1993 or IEC 60601 or
AS/NZS 3551, switch the meter's function selector to the LEAD-LEAD position (or equivalent
function in the device).
5) Connect the ultrasound probe to be tested to the Vivid™ S60/Vivid™ S70.
6) Put the saline probe and the ultrasound probe’s probe face (imaging area of the probe) into the
saline bath.
7) Power ON the Vivid™ S60/Vivid™ S70.
8) After the Vivid™ S60/Vivid™ S70 has completed the boot process, select the probe to be tested so
it is the active probe.

• Table 10-11 on page 10-17
or
• Table 10-12 on page 10-17
as applicable for every probe.
