Testers, Electrical Safety
Definition : Testers designed to manually and/or automatically verify the safety of electrically powered medical devices. These testers include an electric current meter that can measure the alternating current (AC) and direct current (DC) in micro- and milliamperes (mA) with a frequency response that complies with appropriate standards. Electrical safety testers can perform AC and DC leakage-current measurements (typically from 1 A to 20 mA) and resistance-to-ground assessments using two- and/or four-terminal techniques in devices up to several ohms; many testers can perform patient lead isolation tests in multiple-electrode devices. Some testers can also assess the safety of other electrical devices and accessories, such as line voltage/wiring in receptacles and the integrity and operation of ground-fault circuit interrupters; they may also provide signals with appropriate frequencies and waveforms to test several types of medical devices (e.g., pacemakers).
