Safety Tests
The tests described on the following pages are part of a comprehensive preventive maintenance
program. They detect abnormalities that could prove dangerous to patient or operator.
NOTES
• The system power supply is a self-contained unit that is safety-tested by its manufacturer. No
further safety testing is needed when the power supply is installed or replaced.
• After any service or maintenance, perform the required tests to assure that system safety
and functions are not compromised.
• Inspect power cords frequently, especially at their ends.
The following safety tests are described in this section:
• The Chassis to Ground Resistance test checks the entire system for electrical resistance
between the chassis and ground. See “Chassis to Ground Resistance Test” on page 90.
• The Ground Wire Leakage Current test checks the entire system for leakage on ground
leads. See “Ground Wire Leakage Current Test” on page 92.
