Total Patient leakage current : Type CF probe to ground(Only for Europe)
10-8-12-1
Definition
This test measures the current that would flow to ground from all ECG leads through a patient who is
being scanned and becomes grounded by touching some other grounded surface.
10-8-12-2
Generic Procedure for measurement
Put all ECG leads into saline water and measure leakage current with the ground open and closed, with
power line polarity normal and reversed, and with neutral open and closed. For each combination, ECG
leads must be active simultaneously. Please, refer to "Type CF Patient Leakage Current Test - ECG
Leads" part for detail.
