Periodic Electrical Testing<br />
S E C T I O N 9 • T e s t i n g<br />
Electrical Safety Tests must be performed by competent personnel<br />
authorized by the institution to perform such testing. The Safety Tests<br />
must be performed and documented at least once per year, or according to<br />
institutional policy. These tests include but are not limited to:<br />
• Leakage current<br />
• Ground bond test<br />
Leakage Current<br />
Leakage current must be tested according to methods and pass/fail<br />
criteria described in UL 2601-1 or EN 60601-1. Leakage current must be<br />
performed with the heater circuit in the full ON condition. To achieve<br />
this condition, perform the test when the reservoir is at room<br />
temperature. When the HOTLINE ® Warmer is first turned on and the<br />
temperature is rapidly rising, but still below 41°C, the heater circuit is in<br />
a full ON condition.<br />
Note: The HOTLINE ® Warmer is equipped with sensing interlocks. A<br />
HOTLINE ® Fluid Warming Set is required to correctly operate the<br />
HOTLINE ® Warmer and perform leakage current testing. Do not defeat<br />
the sensing interlocks or try to operate the HOTLINE ® without a<br />
HOTLINE ® Fluid Warming Set in place.<br />
Ground Bond Test<br />
Ground bond test must be tested according to methods and pass/fail<br />
criteria described in UL 2601-1 or EN 60601-1.<br />
