10-6-2 GEMS Leakage Current Limits
The following limits are summarized for NFPA 99 (For USA) and IEC 60601-1 Medical Equipment 
Safety Standards. These limits are GEMS standards and in some cases are lower than the above 
standards listed.
 
 
NOTE: *Mains Applied refers  to the sink leakage test where mains (supply) voltage is applied to the 
part to determine the am ount of current that will pass (or sink) to ground  if a patient contacted 
mains voltage.
The following tests are performed at the factory and sh ould be performed at the site. These tests are: 
grounding continuity, chassis leakage current, probe leakage current, and ECG leakage current. All 
measurements are made with an electrical safety an alyzer Model 600/600E built by Dale Technology 
Corporation or equivalent device. Table 10-14   Chassis Leakage Curre nt Limits—Accessible Metal Surfaces

10-6-3 Outlet Test - Wiring Arrangement - USA & Canada
Test all outlets in the area for proper grounding and wiring arrangement by plugging in the neon outlet 
tester and noting the combination  of lights that are illuminated. Any pr oblems found should be reported 
to the hospital immediately and the receptacle should not be used.
The Dale 600 has self-contained lamps designed for  testing the outlet wiring arrangement. Plug the 
Dale 600 into each outlet to be tested comparing the lamp status.
NOTE: No outlet tester can detect the condition where the Neutral (grounded supply) conductor and the  Grounding (protective earth) conductor are reversed. If later tests indicate high leakage currents, this 
should be suspected as a possible cause and  the outlet wiring should be visually inspected.

10-6-5 Chassis Leakage Current Test
10-6-5-1 Definition This test measures the current t hat would flow in a grounded person who touched accessible metal 
parts of the bedside station if the  ground wire should break. The test ve rifies the isolation of the power 
line from the chassis. The meter is connected from  accessible metal parts of the case to ground. 
Measurements should be made wi th the unit On and Off, with the power line polarity Normal and 
Reversed. Record the highest reading.
10-6-5-2 Generic Procedure The test verifies the isolation of the power line from  the chassis. The testing meter is connected from 
accessible metal parts of the case to ground. Meas urements should be made with the unit ON and OFF, 
with the power line polarity Normal and Reversed. Record the highest reading of current.
When using the Microguard or a similar test instrument, its power plug may be  inserted into the wall 
outlet and the equipment under test is plugged into th e receptacle on the panel of the meter. This places 
the meter in the grounding  conductor and the current flowing from the case to ground will be indicated 
in any of the current ranges. The maximum allowabl e limit for chassis source leakage is shown in 
Table 10-14 .
CAUTIONElectric Shock Hazard. When the meters ground switch is OPEN, dont touch the unit!
CAUTIONEquipment damage possibility. Never switch the Polarity and the status of Neutral when the unit 
is powered ON. Be sure to turn the unit power OFF before switching them using the POLARITY 
switch and/or the NEUTRAL switch. Otherwise, the unit may be damaged.

10-6-5-3 Dale 600 Meter Procedure
When measuring system chassis curr ents with the Dale 600, always use the CHASSIS selection of the 
external/chassis function switch. This requires the  ground clip lead and changing the meters switches 
in accordance with the IEC 601-1.1. refer to the Dale 600 Instruction Manual for meter self-test and 
operation. Record the highest leakage current measured.
Follow these steps to test th e unit for leakage current.
1.) Turn the LOGIQ™ P5 unit OFF.
2.) Plug the unit into the meter, and th e meter into the tested AC wall outlet
3.) Plug the black chassis cable into the meters  “CHASSIS” connector and attach the black chassis 
cable clamp to an exposed metal part of the LOGIQ™ P5.
4.) Set the testers “FUNCTION” switch to CHASSIS position.
5.) Follow the test conditio ns described for respective test points shown in Table 10-17. 
6.) Keep a record of the results with other  hard copies of PM data kept on site.

10-6-6Isolated Patient Lead (Source) Leakage–Lead to Ground
10-6-6-1 Definition This test measures the current which would flow  to ground from any of the isolated ECG leads. The 
meter simulates a patient who is connected to the  monitoring equipment and is grounded by touching 
some other grounded surface. Measurements  should be made with the ground open and closed, with 
power line polarity normal and reversed, and wit h the ultrasound console Off and On. For each 
combination the operating controls, such as the lead  switch, should be operated to find the worst case 
condition. Table 10-18 Typical Data Sheet for Chassis Source Leakage Current

10-6-6-2 Generic Procedure
Measurements should be made with the ground open and closed, with power line polarity normal and 
reversed, and with the unit Off and On. For each combination, the operating controls such as the lead 
switch should be operated to find the worst case condition.
 
10-6-6-3 Dale 600 Meter ProcedureThe Dale 600 provides five snap type ECG buttons  for testing patient leads. Snap on all patient leads 
to the meter and assure that the ground clip is co nnected to the system’s ground terminal. Select the 
meter’s LEAD-GND function. Select and test each ECG lead positions (except “ALL”) of the LEAD 
selector, testing each to  the power condition combinations f ound in “PATIENT LEAD LEAKAGE” table 
in the “PM CHECKLIST”. Record the highest leakage current measured for each Power selection.
Follow these steps to test the  ECG module for leakage current.
1.) Turn the LOGIQ™ P5 unit OFF.
2.) Plug the unit into the meter, and the  meter into the tested AC wall outlet.
3.) Plug the black chassis cable into the meters  “CHASSIS” connector and attach the black chassis 
cable clamp to an exposed metal part of the LOGIQ™ P5 unit.
4.) Connect the patient leads to the corresponding s naps located at the upper front of the Dale 600/
600E. Lead nomenclature for this test is not important. Figure 10-7   Test Circuit for Measuring Non-Isolated 
Patient Leads
CAUTIONLine voltage is applied to the ECG leads during this test. To avoid possible electric shock 
hazard, the system being tested must not be touched by patients, users or anyone while the ISO
