Why Test & Calibration

What you cannot
measure you cannot
control
Please contact Dr Fadhl to use this material

As components age and equipment

undergoes
changes in temperature or humidity or
sustains
mechanical stress, performance gradually
degrades.
This is called drift.
When this happens your test results
become unreliable and both design and
performance quality suffer.
While drift cannot be eliminated, it can be
detected and either corrected or

International Electrotechnical
Commission
The International Electrotechnical
Commission[1] (IEC) is a non-profit,
non-governmental international
standards organization that prepares
and publishes International Standards
for all electrical, electronic and related
technologies collectively known as
"electrotechnology".

International Electrotechnical
Commission

IEC standards cover a vast range of

technologies from power generation,
transmission and distribution to home
appliances and office equipment,
semiconductors, fibre optics, batteries, solar
energy, nanotechnology and marine energy as
well as many others.
The IEC also manages three global conformity
assessment systems that certify whether
equipment, system or components conform to
its International Standards.

International Electrotechnical
Commission

Today, the IEC is the world's leading

international organization in its field, and its
standards are adopted as national standards by
its members. The work is done by some 10 000
electrical and electronics experts from industry,
government, academia, test labs and others
with an interest in the subject.
They also first proposed a system of standards,
the Giorgi System, which ultimately became
the SI, or Systme International dunits (in
English, the International System of Units).

IEC, ISO, ITU, IEEE

The IEC cooperates closely with the
International Organization for Standardization (ISO)
and the
International Telecommunication Union (ITU). In
addition, it works with several major standards
development organizations, including the IEEE with
which it signed a cooperation agreement in 2002,
which was amended in 2008 to include joint
development work.
Other standards developed in cooperation between
IEC and ISO are assigned numbers in the 80000
series, such as IEC 82045-1.

List of IEC standards

IEC standards have numbers in the
range 6000079999 and their titles
take a form such as IEC 60417:
Graphical symbols for use on
equipment. The numbers of older IEC
standards were converted in 1997 by
adding 60000, for example IEC 27
became IEC 60027.

Physiological Effects of
Electricity

The human body can easily detect macroshock and

violent reactions occur to high current flow level in
the body
Below 1 ma (1,000 a), it is often much more
difficult to detect the presence of a shock hazard

Classes and types of medical

electrical equipment
Equipment Class{I,II,III} method of
protection against electric shock
Equipment Type{B,BF,CF} degree of
protection

Classes and types of

medical electrical
equipment
All electrical equipment is categorised
into classes according to the method of
protection against electric shock that is
used. For mains powered electrical
equipment there are usually two levels of
protection used, called "basic" and
"supplementary" protection. The
supplementary protection is intended to
come into play in the event of failure of
the basic protection.

Class I
Class I equipment has a protective earth. The basic
means of protection is the insulation between live
parts and exposed conductive parts such as the
metal enclosure.
In the event of a fault that would otherwise cause
an exposed conductive part to become live, the
supplementary protection (i.e. the protective earth)
comes into effect. A large fault current flows from
the mains part to earth via the protective earth
conductor, which causes a protective device
(usually a fuse) in the mains circuit to disconnect
the equipment from the supply.

Class I

Class I
term referring to electrical
equipment in which protection
against electric shock does not rely
on BASIC INSULATION only, but which
includes an additional safety
precaution in that means are
provided for ACCESSIBLE PARTS of
metal or internal parts of metal to be
PROTECTIVELY EARTHED

CLASS II
term referring to electrical equipment
in which protection against electric
shock does not rely on BASIC
INSULATION only, but in which
additional safety precautions such as
DOUBLE INSULATION or REINFORCED
INSULATION are provided, there being
no provision for protective earthing or
reliance upon installation conditions

Class II

Class III equipment

Class III equipment is defined in some
equipment standards as that in which
protection against electric shock relies on
the fact that no voltages higher than
safety extra low voltage (SELV) are
present. SELV is defined in turn in the
relevant standard as a voltage not
exceeding 25V ac or 60V dc. In practice
such equipment is either battery operated
or supplied by a SELV transformer.

 If battery operated equipment is capable of being

operated when connected to the mains (for
example, for battery charging) then it must be
safety tested as either class I or class II equipment.
Similarly, equipment powered from a SELV
transformer should be tested in conjunction with
the transformer as class I or class II equipment as
appropriate.
It is interesting to note that the current IEC
standards relating to safety of medical electrical
equipment do not recognise Class III equipment
since limitation of voltage is not deemed sufficient
to ensure safety of the patient. All medical
electrical equipment that is capable of mains
connection must be classified as class I or class II.
Medical electrical equipment having no mains
connection is simply referred to as "internally
powered".

Equipments Type

different pieces of medical electrical equipment {APPLIED PARTS}

have different areas of application and therefore different electrical safety
requirements. For example, it would not be necessary to make a
particular piece medical electrical equipment safe enough for direct
cardiac connection if there is no possibility of this situation arising.

R.M.S and Peak to Peak

Vrms is the value indicated by the vast majority of AC voltmeters.

The RMS value of an alternating voltage or current is the same as

the level of direct voltage or current that would be needed to produce
the same effect in an equal load.
For example, 1 V applied across a 1 resistor produces 1 W of
heat. A 1 Vrms square wave applied across a 1 resistor also
produces 1 W of heat. That 1 Vrms square wave has a peak voltage of
1 V, and a peak-to-peak voltage of 2 V.

Calculate RMS

0.707 Vpk

 RMS is a sort of average and peak is the top level

A peak is an instant reading - RMS is an "average"
reading.
RMS means to take the root of the mean and
square it.
RMS value is the DC equivalent value to an AC
stream.
The RMS value of an alternating voltage or current
is the same as the level of direct voltage or
current that would be needed to produce the
same effect in an equal load.

Crest Factor

The Crest Factor is equal to the peak

amplitude of a waveform divided by the
RMS value.

the quality of an AC power waveform

Parts that contact PATIENTS

Applied Part
A part of the equipment which in normal use:
necessarily comes into physical contact with the patient for the equipment
to perform its function; or can be brought into contact with the patient; or
needs to be touched by the patient

Accessible Part
Part of equipment which can be touched
without the use of a tool.
EXAMPLE 1 Illuminated push-buttons
EXAMPLE 2 Indicator lamps
EXAMPLE 3 Recorder pens
EXAMPLE 4 Parts of plug-in modules
EXAMPLE 5 Batteries

Leakage currents
Current that is not functional.
several different leakage currents are
defined according to the paths that the
currents take.
Earth Leakage Current
Enclosure Leakage Current
Patient Leakage Current
Patient auxiliary current

Causes of Leakage
currents
If any conductor is raised to a potential
above that of earth, some current is bound
to flow from that conductor to earth.
The amount of current that flows depends
on: 1- the voltage on the conductor.
2- the capacitive reactance between the
conductor and earth.
3-the resistance between the conductor and
earth.

EARTH LEAKAGE
CURRENT
current flowing
from the MAINS
PART through or
across the
insulation into the
PROTECTIVE EARTH
CONDUCTOR

EARTH LEAKAGE
CURRENT
Under normal conditions, a person who is in contact
with the earthed metal enclosure of the equipment and
with another earthed object would suffer no adverse
effects even if a fairly large earth leakage current were
to flow. This is because the impedance to earth from
the enclosure is much lower through the protective
earth conductor than it is through the person. However,
if the protective earth conductor becomes open
circuited, then the situation changes. Now, if the
impedance between the transformer primary and the
enclosure is of the same order of magnitude as the
impedance between the enclosure and earth through
the person, a shock hazard exists.

Patient leakage current

Patient leakage current
is the leakage current
that flows through a
patient connected to an
applied part or parts.
It can either flow from
the applied parts via
the patient to earth or
from an external source
of high potential via the
patient and the applied
parts to earth.

Mains on applied parts

Protective Earth
Continuity
The resistance of the
protective earth conductor
is measured between the
earth pin on the mains plug
and a protectively earthed
point on the equipment
enclosure (see figure 6).
The reading should not
normally exceed 0.2 at
any such point. The test is
obviously only applicable
to class I equipment.

Protective Earth
Continuity
In IEC60601, the test is
conducted using a 50Hz
current between 10A and 25A
for a period of at least 5
seconds. Although this is a
type test, some medical
equipment safety testers
mimic this method. Damage
to equipment can occur if
high currents are passed to
points that are not
protectively earthed, for
example, functional earths.

 Applicable to Class I, all types

Limit: 0.2
DB9801 recommended?: Yes, at 1A
or less.
HEI 95 recommended?: Yes, at 1A or
less. Notes: Ensure probe is on a
protectively earthed point

Insulation Tests Class I

HEI 95 and DB9801
recommended that for
class I equipment the
insulation resistance be
measured at the mains
plug between the live and
neutral pins connected
together and the earth
pin. Whereas HEI 95
recommended using a
500V DC insulation tester,
DB 9801 recommended
the use of 350V DC as the
test voltage.

Applicable to Class I, all types

Limits: Not less than 50M
DB9801 recommended?: Yes
HEI 95 recommended?: Yes
Notes: Equipment containing mineral
insulated heaters may give values
down to 1M. Check equipment is
switched on.

Insulation Tests Class II

HEI 95 further
recommended for class
II equipment that the
insulation resistance be
measured between all
applied parts connected
together and any
accessible conductive
parts of the equipment.
The value should not
normally be less than
50M (see figure 10).

Leakage current
summary
The following table summarises the
leakage current limits (in mA) specified by
IEC60601-1 (second edition) for the most
commonly performed tests. Most
equipment currently in use in hospitals
today is likely to have been designed to
conform to this standard, but note that the
allowable values of earth leakage current
have been increased in the third edition of
the standard as discussed above.

How to measure resistance?

Proper grounding is the best defense

against macroshock & microshock!
The 2-terminal method is
less accurate due to the
effects of test lead
resistance, especially with
long leads and low resistance
value measurements. The
much preferred 4-terminal
Kelvin technique negates
the effects of test lead
