Type CF refers to "Cardiac-Floating" protection class. The patient leads are electrically isolated from ground
and have been designed for direct contact with cardiac tissue. Type C parts have the most stringent safety
requirements. ES601-US measures patient leakage current while each patient lead in the Type CF patient
lead Group is shorted to ground, or alternatively to the isolated mains (AC supply).
Each patient lead can be assigned a name. Patient lead names can be input via the textboxes provided in the
patient lead Name and Status panel.
8.6.19 Lead-to-Lead Leakages
(AAMI-ES1, IEC60601, AAMI-Battery and IEC60601-Battery)
In this test, ES601-US measures the current that flows out of one patient lead, through the human body
load, and into all the other patient leads shorted together. The test will be repeated for each patient lead.
This test is pertinent to AAMI and IEC60601 standards only.
8.6.20 Isolated Signals Inputs/Outputs
(AAMI-ES1, IEC60601, AAMI-Battery and IEC60601-Battery)
If Isolated Signals Inputs/Outputs is enabled, the effect on patient lead leakage by connecting isolated
input/output signals of the DUT to ground or to mains will be observed. An example of an isolated
input/output would be an ethernet connection or similar transformer-isolated data interface on a medical
device, for example, a multi-parameter patient monitor. This test is pertinent to AAMI and IEC60601
standards only.
When enabling tests of Isolated Signal Inputs/Outputs, the signals must be
isolated from ground, otherwise damage to equipment under test may result.
Check equipment manufacturer's specifications.
8.6.21 Exposed Ungrounded Metal Parts (IEC60601)
If Exposed Ungrounded Metal Parts is enabled, the effect on patient lead leakage by connecting exposed
ungrounded metal parts of the DUT to ground will be observed. An example of such a part may be an
electrically floating conductive faceplate, a fastener in a plastic enclosure, bracket, or similar feature on the
enclosure of the DUT. This test is pertinent to the IEC60601 standard only.
8.6.22 Protocol (VDE0751 and IEC62353)
The Protocol defines the device and patient leakage measurement protocols under VDE0751 and IEC62353
safety standards. In the VDE Alternate Method, the DUT is connected to an isolated mains source rather
