Electrical Safety Tests
The ClosureRFG generator has been thoroughly tested for isolation, leakage, and
grounding integrity prior to shipment. The product has been tested for compliance with
standards IEC 60601-1 and IEC 60601-2-2.
A test cable from Covidien is available for these tests. Please contact Covidien Customer
Service for information on obtaining the Biomed Test Cable (TL100-119-02).
If these tests are necessary, it is mandatory that appropriate test equipment is used, and
the tester has knowledge of the applicable electrical safety standards which pertain to
these tests. Covidien assumes no responsibility for damage to the unit due to improper
application of the following tests.
If in doubt, consult the Safety Analyzer User’s Manual or Covidien prior to conducting the
following tests.
Electrical Safety Tests 220-240 V
Warning
High Voltage
Do not touch the equipment during the isolation tests.
1. Set the line voltage to 264 V and set the frequency to 50 Hz. Do not exceed 280 V.
2. Plug the line cord of the ClosureRFG radiofrequency generator into the leakage tester
for all tests.
3. For source leakage and isolation tests, use the Biomed Test Cable to access patient
connections. Short the electrodes and thermocouple wires together for testing.
