Performing Patient Safety Checks
The tests described are recommended to be performed as part of a comprehensive preventative maintenance
program.
Ground Resistance Test
•
Enclosure Leakage Current
•
All tests can be performed using commercially available Safety Analyzer test equipment. You will need:
Advisor
•
®
Vital Signs Monitor
Safety Analyzer, capable of the following
•
Ground Bond tester capable of providing up to 40 Amps continuous duty test current.
a.
220VAC Leakage Tester
b.
Hi-pot Testing with Current Limit: 5mA for 1.5 kVAC and 1 mA for 4 kVAC.
c.
Patient I/O “Shorting” plugs. These are simply patient cable ends that have all the pins shorted together.
•
For example, the oximeter shorting plug would simply be a male DB9 connector that can plug into
the female oximeter patient connector on the monitor. Contact the service department for additional
information.
General Requirements
Test Personnel must wear a grounded wrist strap or equivalent while handling any circuit boards. Anti-
•
static procedures and work areas are to be used throughout.
Test equipment must be calibrated and maintained to NIST traceable standards.
•
If you have questions or need additional assistance, please contact the Service Department.
Ground Resistance Check
noTE! The equipotential ground pin is the rotary encoder. Remove the rotary knob to access the rotary
encoder.
Inspect the power cord for cracks and wear.
A comprehensive ground resistance measurement may be performed using a Safety Analyzer. Follow the
instructions provided by the Safety Analyzer manufacturer when performing the ground resistance check using
the Safety Analyzer.
The impedance between the protective earth terminal and the rotary encoder during this test must not exceed
0.1Ω
