Why Test & Calibration
What you cannot measure
you cannot control
Please contact Dr Fadhl to use this material
As components age and equipment undergoes
changes in temperature or humidity or sustains
mechanical stress, performance gradually
degrades.
This is called drift.
When this happens your test results become
unreliable and both design and performance quality
suffer.
While drift cannot be eliminated, it can be detected
and either corrected or compensated for through

What to TEST for?
• Performance Testing
• Safety Testing
Please contact Dr Fadhl to use this material
When to test
• On newly acquired equipment prior to being
accepted for use
• During routine planned preventative
maintenance.
• After repairs have been carried out on
equipment.
Need for Medical Equipment Testing
• Medical device incidents resulting in patient
injury and death
• Ensure that the equipment is performing to the
expected standards of accuracy, reliability, free of
hysteresis and linear (as designed).
• Safe and effective devices need to be available for
patient care
– Downtime costs money
• Regulations, accreditation requirements and
standards.

Why do we do electrical safety?
• Ensure patient safety
– Protect against macroshock
– Protect against microshock
• Test for electrical internal breakdown /
damage to power cord, AC mains feed, etc.
• Meet codes & standards
– AAMI, IEC, UL, NFPA, etc.
• Protect against legal liability
– In case of a patient incident
International Electrotechnical Commission
• The International Electrotechnical
Commission[1] (IEC) is a non-profit, nongovernmental international standards
organization that prepares and publishes
International Standards for all electrical,
electronic and related technologies –
collectively known as "electrotechnology".
International Electrotechnical Commission
• IEC standards cover a vast range of
technologies from power generation,
transmission and distribution to home
appliances and office equipment,
semiconductors, fibre optics, batteries, solar
energy, nanotechnology and marine energy as
well as many others.
• The IEC also manages three global conformity
assessment systems that certify whether
equipment, system or components conform to
its International Standards.
International Electrotechnical Commission
• Today, the IEC is the world's leading
international organization in its field, and its
standards are adopted as national standards
by its members. The work is done by some 10
000 electrical and electronics experts from
industry, government, academia, test labs and
others with an interest in the subject.
• They also first proposed a system of
standards, the Giorgi System, which ultimately
became the SI, or Système International
d’unités (in English, the International System
of Units).
IEC, ISO, ITU, IEEE
• The IEC cooperates closely with the
International Organization for Standardization
(ISO) and the International
Telecommunication Union (ITU). In addition, it
works with several major standards
development organizations, including the IEEE
with which it signed a cooperation agreement
in 2002, which was amended in 2008 to
include joint development work.
• Other standards developed in cooperation
between IEC and ISO are assigned numbers in
the 80000 series, such as IEC 82045-1.
List of IEC standards
• IEC standards have numbers in the range
60000–79999 and their titles take a form such
as IEC 60417: Graphical symbols for use on
equipment. The numbers of older IEC
standards were converted in 1997 by adding
60000, for example IEC 27 became IEC 60027.

Physiological Effects of Electricity
The human body can easily detect macroshock and violent
reactions occur to high current flow level in the body…
Below 1 ma (1,000 µa), it is often much more difficult to detect
the presence of a shock hazard from simple perception…
Classes and types of medical electrical
equipment
• Equipment Class{I,II,III} method of protection
against electric shock
• Equipment Type{B,BF,CF} degree of protection
Classes and types of medical electrical
equipment
• All electrical equipment is categorised into
classes according to the method of protection
against electric shock that is used. For mains
powered electrical equipment there are
usually two levels of protection used, called
"basic" and "supplementary" protection. The
supplementary protection is intended to come
into play in the event of failure of the basic
protection.
Class I
• Class I equipment has a protective earth. The basic
means of protection is the insulation between live
parts and exposed conductive parts such as the
metal enclosure.
• In the event of a fault that would otherwise cause an
exposed conductive part to become live, the
supplementary protection (i.e. the protective earth)
comes into effect. A large fault current flows from
the mains part to earth via the protective earth
conductor, which causes a protective device (usually
a fuse) in the mains circuit to disconnect the
equipment from the supply.
Class I
Class I
• term referring to electrical equipment in
which protection against electric shock does
not rely on BASIC INSULATION only, but which
includes an additional safety precaution in
that means are provided for ACCESSIBLE
PARTS of metal or internal parts of metal to be
PROTECTIVELY EARTHED
CLASS II
• term referring to electrical equipment in
which protection against electric shock does
not rely on BASIC INSULATION only, but in
which additional safety precautions such as
DOUBLE INSULATION or REINFORCED
INSULATION are provided, there being no
provision for protective earthing or reliance
upon installation conditions
Class II
Class III equipment
• Class III equipment is defined in some
equipment standards as that in which
protection against electric shock relies on the
fact that no voltages higher than safety extra
low voltage (SELV) are present. SELV is defined
in turn in the relevant standard as a voltage
not exceeding 25V ac or 60V dc. In practice
such equipment is either battery operated or
supplied by a SELV transformer.
• If battery operated equipment is capable of being
operated when connected to the mains (for example,
for battery charging) then it must be safety tested as
either class I or class II equipment. Similarly,
equipment powered from a SELV transformer should
be tested in conjunction with the transformer as
class I or class II equipment as appropriate.
• It is interesting to note that the current IEC standards
relating to safety of medical electrical equipment do
not recognise Class III equipment since limitation of
voltage is not deemed sufficient to ensure safety of
the patient. All medical electrical equipment that is
capable of mains connection must be classified as
class I or class II. Medical electrical equipment having
no mains connection is simply referred to as
"internally powered".
Equipments Type
different pieces of medical electrical equipment {APPLIED PARTS}
have different areas of application and therefore different electrical safety
requirements. For example, it would not be necessary to make a
particular piece medical electrical equipment safe enough for direct
cardiac connection if there is no possibility of this situation arising.

R.M.S and Peak to Peak
Vrms is the value indicated by the vast majority of AC voltmeters.
The RMS value of an alternating voltage or current is the same as
the level of direct voltage or current that would be needed to produce
the same effect in an equal load.
For example, 1 V applied across a 1 Ω resistor produces 1 W of
heat. A 1 Vrms square wave applied across a 1 Ω resistor also
produces 1 W of heat. That 1 Vrms square wave has a peak voltage
of 1 V, and a peak-to-peak voltage of 2 V.
Calculate RMS
≈ 0.707 Vpk
• RMS is a sort of average and peak is the top
level
• A peak is an instant reading - RMS is an
"average" reading.
RMS means to take the root of the mean and
square it.
• RMS value is the DC equivalent value to an AC
stream.
• The RMS value of an alternating voltage or
current is the same as the level of direct
voltage or current that would be needed to
produce the same effect in an equal load.
Crest Factor
• The Crest Factor is equal to the peak
amplitude of a waveform divided by the RMS
value.
• Electrical engineering — for describing the
quality of an AC power waveform

Parts that contact PATIENTS
Applied Part
A part of the equipment which in normal use:
necessarily comes into physical contact with the patient for the
equipment to perform its function; or can be brought into contact with the
patient; or needs to be touched by the patient
Accessible Part
• Part of equipment which can be touched
without the use of a tool.
• EXAMPLE 1 Illuminated push-buttons
• EXAMPLE 2 Indicator lamps
• EXAMPLE 3 Recorder pens
• EXAMPLE 4 Parts of plug-in modules
• EXAMPLE 5 Batteries
•
Leakage currents
• Current that is not functional.
• several different leakage currents are defined
according to the paths that the currents take.
• Earth Leakage Current
• Enclosure Leakage Current
• Patient Leakage Current
• Patient auxiliary current
Causes of Leakage currents
• If any conductor is raised to a potential above
that of earth, some current is bound to flow
from that conductor to earth.
• The amount of current that flows depends on:
1- the voltage on the conductor.
2- the capacitive reactance between the
conductor and earth.
3-the resistance between the conductor and
earth.
EARTH LEAKAGE CURRENT
• current flowing from
the MAINS PART
through or across the
insulation into the
PROTECTIVE EARTH
CONDUCTOR
EARTH LEAKAGE CURRENT
• Under normal conditions, a person who is in contact
with the earthed metal enclosure of the equipment
and with another earthed object would suffer no
adverse effects even if a fairly large earth leakage
current were to flow. This is because the impedance
to earth from the enclosure is much lower through
the protective earth conductor than it is through the
person. However, if the protective earth conductor
becomes open circuited, then the situation changes.
Now, if the impedance between the transformer
primary and the enclosure is of the same order of
magnitude as the impedance between the enclosure
and earth through the person, a shock hazard exists.

Mains on applied parts
Protective Earth Continuity
• The resistance of the
protective earth conductor
is measured between the
earth pin on the mains plug
and a protectively earthed
point on the equipment
enclosure (see figure 6). The
reading should not normally
exceed 0.2Ω at any such
point. The test is obviously
only applicable to class I
equipment.
Protective Earth Continuity
• In IEC60601, the test is
conducted using a 50Hz
current between 10A and
25A for a period of at least 5
seconds. Although this is a
type test, some medical
equipment safety testers
mimic this method. Damage
to equipment can occur if
high currents are passed to
points that are not
protectively earthed, for

DB9801 recommended?: Yes, at 1A or less.
HEI 95 recommended?: Yes, at 1A or less.
Notes: Ensure probe is on a protectively
earthed point
Insulation Tests Class I
• HEI 95 and DB9801
recommended that for class
I equipment the insulation
resistance be measured at
the mains plug between the
live and neutral pins
connected together and the
earth pin. Whereas HEI 95
recommended using a 500V
DC insulation tester, DB
9801 recommended the use
of 350V DC as the test
voltage.

DB9801 recommended?: Yes
HEI 95 recommended?: Yes
Notes: Equipment containing mineral
insulated heaters may give values down to
1MΩ. Check equipment is switched on.
Insulation Tests Class II
• HEI 95 further
recommended for class
II equipment that the
insulation resistance be
measured between all
applied parts connected
together and any
accessible conductive
parts of the equipment.
The value should not
normally be less than
50MΩ (see figure 10).
Leakage current summary
• The following table summarises the leakage
current limits (in mA) specified by IEC60601-1
(second edition) for the most commonly
performed tests. Most equipment currently in
use in hospitals today is likely to have been
designed to conform to this standard, but
note that the allowable values of earth
leakage current have been increased in the
third edition of the standard as discussed
above.

How to measure resistance?
Proper grounding is the best defense against
macroshock & microshock!
The 2-terminal method is less
accurate due to the effects of test
lead resistance, especially with long
leads and low resistance value
measurements. The much preferred
4-terminal “Kelvin” technique
negates the effects of test lead
resistance and gives more accurate
readings…
An Introduction to Safety Analyzer
Electrical Shock Hazard
• A common experience due to electric shock
• Associated with equipments
• Electric current can flow through the human
body either
– Accidentally or Intentionally
• Other reasons of electric shock include
– Careless use of electricity
– Usage of faulty cords and appliances
– Lack of concept/Faulty design
– Relied upon life support devices (Pace maker/
respirators)
An Introduction to Electric Shock Hazard
Electrical Shock Hazard
• Use of medical equipments in
conjunction
with
other
instruments and equipments
• Environmental conditions
• Patient/Operator not realizing
potential hazards
• 2 situations account hazards
from electric shock
– Gross shock
– Micro - current shock
An Introduction to Electric Shock Hazard
Gross shock
• Experienced by the subject
by an accidental contact with
electric wiring at any point
on the surface of the body
• Current flows through the
body of the subject (ex. from
arm to arm)
• Body acts as a volume
conductor at the mains
frequency
• Degree of simulation varies
from individual to individual
An Introduction to Electric Shock Hazard
Micro - current shock
• Current passes directly through
the heart wall
• Thresholds of sensation of
electric currents differ widely
• Greater % of current may flow
via the arterial system directly
through the heart
• Requires much less currents to
produce ventricular fibrillation
– EX. Catheter laboratory or
operating room where patient
connected to catheter in the
heart
• Here patients have very little
resistance to electric currents
Physiological Effects of Electricity
Tissue Resistance
• Skin - 5000 ohms/cm2
• Blood - 100 ohms/cm2
• Muscle - 200-400 ohms/cm2
• Fat - 2000-3000 ohms/cm2
• Bone - 3000+ ohms/cm2
Current goes to the path of least resistance
An Introduction to Electric Shock Hazard
Leakage Current
• Inherent flow of non functional
current from live electric parts of
instrument to accessible metal parts
• Usually flow through 3rd wire
connection to ground
• Magnitude of leakage current is
determined by the value of the
capacitance present
• Originates due to capacitive coupling
from the power transformer primary
to other parts of the transformer (or
instruments)
An Introduction to Electric Shock Hazard
Types of Leakage Current
• Enclosure leakage current: Current flows in
normal condition from the enclosure (or part of
enclosure) through a person in contact with an
accessible part of enclosure to earth (or
another part of the enclosure)
• Earth leakage current: Current flows in normal
condition to earth from main parts of
apparatus via earth conductor
• Patient leakage current: Current flows through
patient from or to applied parts of the patient
circuits
An Introduction to Electric Shock Hazard
Effects of Electric Current on Human Body
• Threshold of perception of
electric shock is about 1mA
• Tingling sensation is felt when
contacted with electrified
object through intact of skin
• As magnitude of alternating
current is increased
– Tingling sensation leads to
contraction of muscles
– Muscular contraction increases
– Finally value of current is
reached where grip of current
cannot be released
An Introduction to Electric Shock Hazard
Effects of Electric Current on Human Body
• Let -go- current: the max. current at which the subject is
still capable of releasing a conductor by using muscles
– Here individual can withstand with no serious effects
– Average let go current for males- 16mA, females-10.5mA, approx.
9-6 mA for both.
• Hold-on-type: A current level higher than let go current,
the subject looses ability to control his own muscle action
and unable to release grip on the conductor
– Such currents are very painful and hard to bear
– Physical injury is caused b currents in range of 20-100mA
• A very high currents (6 amperes and above) lead to
– Temporary respiratory paralysis
– Serious burns
An Introduction to Electric Shock Hazard
Recommendations of IEC
• International
Electrotechnical
Commission (IEC)
• Continuous medical equipment
current should not exceed 100
uA
• Should be with in a frequency
range of 0 to 1kHz
• In
abnormal
situations
recommended max. current is
500 uA
• Should be in a frequency upto 1
kHz
• Above 1 kHz max increases is
proportionally with frequency
An Introduction to Electric Shock Hazard
Precautions
• Use apparatus or appliances with
three wire power cord
• Provide isolated input circuits on
monitoring equipment
• Have periodic checks of ground
wire continuity
• No other equipment to be
connected when patient monitoring
equipment is connected
• Clearly mark functional controls
• Take care of adapter plugs that do
not ensure proper grounding circuit
• Direct operating instructions to the
operators
• Maintaining voltage differences
Macroshock and Microshock
History
• The expansion of technology was unregulated, and
unexplained deaths in hospitals were attributed by
some to electrical shocks
• Studies showed that electrical shock risks were the
greatest when the patient had conductors internal to
the body
• If a conductive catheter is placed in the heart, 100
micro amps at 60 Hz can cause fibrillation of heart
and death
