3 Electrical Safety Maintenance
The following electrical safety tests are considered a part of the comprehensive maintenance process
and major means to detect exceptions. If the test is not performed, the patient or operator may be
endangered. Perform additional tests based on the actual conditions.
All tests can be performed using a commercial safety analysis tester. The following tests are performed
using the 601 pro series safety tester or an equivalent. Other mainstream testers such as Fluke, Metro
and Gerb must comply with the requirements of the IEC 60601-1. Follow the instructions of the tester
vendor and make adjustments as required during the test.
After the product is maintained or upgraded, test the product periodically using a safety analyzer to
ensure that the product remains in the inspected state. The safety analyzer is considered a good
troubleshooting tool in checking abnormal line voltage, grounding, and total current load.
