Tools/Equipment
•
Warming Device Cable (A101 or A102, A112)
•
Ground continuity tester
•
Leakage current tester
•
Calibrated, fast-reacting thermocouple and meter
•

Method
1.
Insert the Controller power plug into a properly grounded hospital-grade electrical outlet and confirm that no
cables or devices are connected to any of the ports.
WARNING: To avoid risk of electric shock, this equipment must only be connected to a supply mains with
protective earth ground.
Note: The Controller is grounded and should not be attached to un-grounded tables intended for use with a
hyfrecator or equivalent devices.
2.
Perform the following tests on the Controller per standard institutional protocol:
A.
Ground continuity
B.
Connect a Warming Blanket to the Controller and test leakage current to ensure the maximum leakage
current does not exceed the requirements in
