1-1
1.1.2 Warnings
WARNING
Check for mechanical damages before each use. If case of any damage, do not apply it to patients.
Before putting the system into operation, the operator must verify that the equipment, connecting cables
and accessories are in correct working order and operating condition.
Run the equipment only on the supplied disposable or rechargeable battery.
Charge the rechargeable battery only with the supplied BatteryFeed 20 charger station.
This equipment is used for single patient at a time.
Medical electrical equipment which does not incorporate defibrillator protection should be disconnected
during defibrillation.
Do not defibrillate a patient who lies on the wet ground.
Do not rely exclusively on the audible alarm system for patient monitoring. Adjustment of alarm volume
to a low level or off may result in a hazard to the patient. Remember that alarm settings should be
customized according to different patient situations and always keeping the patient under close
surveillance is the most reliable way for safe patient monitoring.
Do not perform any functional check if the equipment is connected with a patient; otherwise the patient
might be shocked.
Remain attentive to the patient during applying therapy. Delay in delivering a shock may result in a
rhythm that was analyzed as shockable converting spontaneously to non-shockable and could result in
inappropriate delivery of a shock.
For the treatment of patients with implantable pacemakers, place therapy pads away from internal
pacemaker generator if possible to help prevent damage to the pacemaker.
To avoid inadvertent disconnection, route all cables in a way to prevent a stumbling hazard. Wrap and
secure excess cabling to reduce risk of entanglement or strangulation by patients or personnel.
Do not touch device connectors, battery connector or other live equipment if in contact with the patient;
otherwise patient injury may result.
To ensure patient safety, use only parts and accessories specified in this manual.
Package material may contaminate the environment. Properly dispose of the package material according
to applicable waste control regulations and keep it out of children’s reach.
Keep a distance of at least 20cm away from the monitor when Wi-Fi function is in use.

2 The Basics
It is important to understand that survival rates for sudden cardiac arrest are directly related to how soon victims receive
treatment. For every minute of delay, the chance of survival declines by 7% to 10%. Treatment cannot assure survival. In
some patients, the underlying problem causing the cardiac arrest is simply not survivable despite any available care.
2.1 Overview
The BeneHeart D1 (hereinafter called the equipment) is a lightweight and portable automated external defibrillator.
There are two types of configuration for the equipment: Pro and Public. Public provides only AED mode while Pro
provides two operating modes: AED and Manual Defib mode.
In AED mode, the equipment automatically analyzes the patient’s ECG rhythm and indicates whether or not a shockable
rhythm is detected. Voice prompts provide easy-to-follow instructions and patient information to guide you through the
defibrillation process. Messages and flashing buttons are also presented to reinforce the voice prompts.
In the Manual Defib mode, the operator analyzes the patient’s ECG, and, if appropriate, follows this procedure:
1. Select the Manual Defib mode, adjust the energy level if necessary;
2. Charge; and,
3. Deliver the shock.
Defibrillation is performed through multifunction electrode pads. In Manual Defib mode, you can also perform
synchronized cardioversion.
In Manual Defib mode, the equipment also provides monitoring, displaying and storing of 3-lead ECG.
The equipment can be powered by a supplied disposable battery or a smart lithium ion battery which is rechargeable
and maintenance-free. You can easily determine the remaining battery charge by viewing the battery power gauge
displayed on the screen. For rechargeable batteries, you can also check the indicator on the battery itself.
The equipment automatically stores patient data in an internal storage card. You can also export the data through the
USB port for viewing on a PC through the data management software.
2.2 Intended Use
Pro is intended for automatic defibrillation (AED) and manual defibrillation treatments. It guides operators through
Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and can also be used for ECG monitoring.
Public is intended for AED. It also guides operators throughout CPR.
The equipment is for use in pre-hospital settings by qualified medical personnel trained in the operation of the
equipment and qualified by training in basic life support, advanced cardiac life support or defibrillation.
2-1
2.2.1 AED
The AED mode is to be used only on cardio arrest patients who must be:
Unresponsive
Not breathing or not breathing normally
2.2.2 Manual Defibrillation
Asynchronous defibrillation is the initial treatment for ventricular fibrillation and ventricular tachycardia in patients that
are pulseless and unresponsive. Synchronous defibrillation is intended for termination of atrial fibrillation.
2.2.3 ECG
The ECG monitoring function is used to monitor and/or store the patient’s ECG waveform and heart rate.

4 Alarms
Alarms, triggered by a vital sign that appears abnormal or by technical problems of the equipment, are indicated to the
user by visual and audible alarm indications.
WARNING
A potential hazard exists if different alarm presets are used for the same or similar device in any single
area, e.g. an intensive care unit or cardiac operating room.
4.1 Alarm Categories
By nature, Pro’s alarms can be classified into two categories: physiological alarms and technical alarms while Public
provides only technical alarms.
1. Physiological alarms
Physiological alarms, also called patient status alarms, are triggered by a monitored parameter value that violates
set alarm limits or by an abnormal patient condition. In AED mode, no physiological alarm will be presented.
2. Technical alarms
Technical alarms, also called system status alarms, are triggered by a device malfunction or a patient data distortion
due to improper operation or system failure.
Alarm messages are displayed in the alarm area.
Apart from the physiological and technical alarms, the equipment also shows some messages indicating system status.
Technically, prompt messages are not alarm messages. Messages of this kind are usually displayed in corresponding
information area. Some special prompts are shown in dialog boxes.
4.2 Alarm Levels
By severity, alarms can be classified into three categories: high level alarms, medium level alarms and low level alarms.
Physiological alarms (For Pro only) Technical alarms
High
level
Medium
level
Low
level
Indicate that your patient is in a life threatening
situation, such as Asystole, Vfib/Vtac and so forth,
and an emergency treatment is demanded.
Indicate that your patient’s vital signs appear
abnormal and an immediate treatment is required.
Indicate that you patient’s vital signs appear
abnormal and an immediate treatment may be
required.
Indicate a severe device malfunction or an improper
operation, which could make it possible that the equipment
cannot detect critical patient status or may cause therapy
failed, and thus threaten the patient’s life, such as low battery.
/
Indicate a device malfunction or an improper operation,
which may compromise a certain function but will not

4.3 Alarm Indicators
When an alarm occurs, the equipment indicates it to the user through visual or audible alarm indications.
Alarm tones
Alarm message
NOTE
When multiple alarms of different levels occur simultaneously, the equipment will select the alarm of the
highest level and give visual and audible alarm indications accordingly. Alarm messages will be displayed
circularly.
4.3.1 Audible Alarms
The equipment uses different alarm tone patterns to match the alarm level:
High level alarms triple+double+triple+double beeps.
Medium level alarms triple beeps.
Low level alarms single beep.
4.3.2 Alarm Message
When an alarm occurs, the alarm message will appear in the technical or physiological alarm area. For physiological
alarms, the asterisk symbols (*) before the alarm message match the alarm level as follows:
High level alarms ***
Medium level alarms **
Low level alarms *
Additionally, the alarm message has different background color which matches the alarm level.
High level alarms shifts fast between black text on red background and red text on white background
(in a frequency of 2 Hz)
Medium level alarms shifts slowly between black text on yellow background and yellow text on white
background (in a frequency of 0.5 Hz)
Low level alarms black text on yellow background
4.3.3 Alarm Status Symbols
Apart from the aforementioned alarm indicators, the equipment still uses the following symbols telling the alarm status:
indicates alarm sounds are turned off. You can only restore the alarm sound in configuration mode.

5 AED
5.1 Overview
This chapter describes how to operate the equipment in AED Mode. While operating in AED Mode, the equipment
analyses the patient’s ECG waveforms and guides you through the defibrillation process.
The equipment starts analyzing the patient’s heart rhythm immediately after entering AED mode. When a shockable
rhythm is detected, the equipment gives a prompt and automatically starts charging. If a shockable rhythm is not
detected, a “No shock advised” prompt is given. Smart defibrillation analysis goes through automated external
defibrillation until the equipment enters CPR or abnormal pads connection occurs.
While operating in AED Mode, the capabilities of the device are limited to those essential to the performance of
automated external defibrillation. Only ECG signals acquired through pads are displayed.
5.2 Safety
DANGER
Defibrillation current can cause operator or bystander severe injury or even death. Never touch the
patient or any equipment connected to the patient (including the bed or gurney) during defibrillation.
Avoid contact between parts of the patient’s body such as exposed skin of head or limbs, conductive fluids
such as gel, blood, or saline, and metal objects such as a bed frame or a stretcher which may provide
unwanted pathways for the defibrillating current.
Do not allow multifunction electrode pads to touch each other or to touch other ECG monitoring
electrodes, lead wires, dressings, etc. Contact with metal objects may cause electrical arcing and patient
skin burns during defibrillation and may divert current away from the heart.
To avoid explosion hazard, do not use the equipment in the presence of oxygen-rich atmospheres,
flammable anesthetics, or other flammable agents (such as gasoline). Keep the equipment and the
operating environment dry and clean.
WARNING
During defibrillation, air pockets between the skin and multifunction electrode pads can cause patient
skin burns. To help prevent air pockets, make sure defibrillation pads are completely adhered to the skin.
Do not charge and deliver shocks frequently for a long time if disposable battery is used.
Do not use dried-out pads.
5-1
CAUTION
Aggressive handling of multifunction electrode pads in storage or prior to use can damage the pads.
Discard the pads if they become damaged.
For patients with implantable pacemaker, the sensitivity and specificity of AED algorithm may be
impaired.
NOTE
If needed, perform CPR when there is delay or interruption in using of the equipment.
5.3 AED View
A typical screen in AED Mode is shown below.
For Pro
For Public
In AED mode, the information area displays CPR instructions, pads connection instructions and AED prompt messages.
For Pro, HR numeric and one ECG waveform acquired from the multifunction electrode pads are displayed above the
information area if [ECG Display] is set to [On].
5-2
5.4 AED Procedure
Confirm that the patient is unresponsive, not breathing or not breathing normally. Then:
1. Press the Power On/Off button to turn on the equipment.
When the equipment enters AED mode, it checks to see if the pads and pads cable are properly connected. If not,
prompt messages will appear in the AED information area until corrective action has been taken.
2. Expose the patient's chest. Wipe moisture from the patient’s chest and, if necessary, clip or shave excessive chest
hair.
3. Apply multifunction electrode pads to the patient as directed on the pads package.
If a shockable rhythm is detected, the equipment charges automatically.
If a shockable rhythm is not detected, the system prompts "no shock advised" and then starts CPR or resume
rhythm analysis according to the current [NSA Action] setting.
5. Press the Shock button, if prompted.
Make sure no one is touching the patient, bed or any equipment connected to the patient. Call out clearly and
loudly “Stay Clear”. Then press the Shock button on the front panel to deliver a shock to the patient.
Delivery of the shock is confirmed by the voice and screen prompt "Shock Delivered" and the shock counter on the
display is updated to reflect the number of shocks given. If the configured [Shock Series] is greater than one, the
equipment resumes analyzing the patient’s rhythm after the shock is delivered to see if the shock was successful.
Voice and text prompts continue to guide you through additional shocks.
Warning
Performing CPR or otherwise handling or moving the patient during rhythm analysis can cause incorrect
or delayed analysis.
For safety reasons, some low-amplitude or low-frequency heart rhythms as well as some VT rhythms may
not be interpreted as shockable rhythms.
5-3
NOTE
Use the defibrillator pads before the expiration date. If the pads are found expired, by checking either the
expiration date on the pads package or the alarm message displayed on the screen, replace the pads
immediately. In emergency, if there are no spare pads nearby, proceed patient treatment with the pads
and ignore pads related alarm messages.
Do not use anterior-posterior pads placement (multifunction electrode pads placed on the patient’s chest
and back) for adult patients. The AED algorithm used by the equipment has not been validated using this
placement.
Use pediatric pads for pediatric patients. If you are using adult pads for pediatric patients, select
and set the patient type to pediatric and follow the instructions on the screen to apply pads.
Motion artifact may delay analysis or affect the ECG signal resulting in an inappropriate shock or no shock
advised message. Keep the patient still during ECG rhythm analysis.
The Shock button must be pressed to deliver a shock. The equipment will not automatically deliver a
shock.
Impedance is the resistance between the defibrillator’s pads hat the defibrillator must overcome to deliver
an effective discharge of energy. The degree of impedance differs from patient to patient and is affected
by several factors including the presence of chest hair, moisture, and lotions or powders on the skin. If the
“Impedance too high. Charge removed” message appears, make sure that the patient’s skin has been
washed and dried and that any chest hair has been clipped. If the message persists, change the pads.
Most pediatric cardiac arrests are asphyxial, and the resuscitation from asphyxial arrest is best
accomplished by a combination of ventilations and chest compressions. Make sure proper CPR is
performed on the patient when waiting for defibrillation equipments or advance life support. Or follow
your local protocol.
5.5 Shock Advised
If a shockable rhythm is detected, the equipment automatically charges to the pre-configured energy level for the
current patient type. A charging tone is sounded, and the Shock button flashes when the equipment is fully charged.
Heart rhythm analysis continues while the equipment charges. If a rhythm change is detected before the shock is
delivered and a shock is no longer appropriate, the stored energy is removed internally.
If the patient type is changed or pads malfunction detected during charging, the charge will be removed.
Once you are prompted "Do Not Touch Patient! Press Shock Button", if you do not do so within 30 seconds, the
equipment disarms itself and resumes analyzing.
5-4
5.6 No Shock Advised (NSA)
If a shockable rhythm is not detected, the equipment will tell you "No Shock Advised!".
If the [NSA Action] is set to [CPR]: the equipment enters CPR status.
If the [NSA Action] is set to [Monitor]:
The equipment continues to monitor the ECG and automatically resumes analysis if a potentially shockable rhythm
is detected. You will hear “No Shock Advised! Attend to patient”. The message "No Shock Advised!" and
“Monitoring” are shown circularly in the AED information area. You can define the frequency of these prompts by
adjusting [Voice Prompt Interval] in [Config. Edit] menu.
5.7 CPR
If [Initial CPR] is set to [On], the system enters initial CPR after startup. You can set [Initial CPR] to [On] or [Off] in
[Config. Edit] menu.
In CPR mode, voice instructions, pictures, and prompt messages needed for CPR are provided.
After the shock series, ECG analysis pauses and the equipment enters the CPR status. Analysis resumes at the completion
of CPR.
CPR mode continues for 2 minutes.
Warning
Performing CPR with pads attached on the patient might damage the pads. In this case, replace the pads.
5.7.1 CPR Metronome
The equipment provides a CPR metronome feature that can be used to encourage rescuers to perform chest
compression and ventilation at AHA/ERC recommended rate.
You can press the soft key repeatedly to change the compression/ventilation rate.
Warning
The CPR metronome sounds do not indicate information regarding the patient’s condition. Because
patient status can change in a short time, the patient should be assessed at all times. Do not perform CPR
on a patient who is responsive or is breathing normally.

6.1 Overview
Manual defibrillation is available only on Pro. This chapter explains how to prepare for and perform asynchronous
defibrillation and synchronous cardioversion using multifunction electrode pads.
In Manual Defibrillation Mode, you must assess the ECG waveforms, decide if defibrillation or cardioversion is indicated,
select appropriate energy setting, charge the equipment, and deliver the shock. Text messages on the screen provide
relevant information to guide your throughout the defibrillation process.
6.2 Safety
DANGER
Defibrillation current can cause operator or bystander severe injury or even death. Never touch the
patient or any equipment connected to the patient (including the bed or gurney) during defibrillation.
Avoid contact between parts of the patient’s body such as exposed skin of head or limbs, conductive fluids
such as gel, blood, or saline, and metal objects such as a bed frame or a stretcher which may provide
unwanted pathways for the defibrillating current.
Do not allow multifunction electrode pads to touch each other or to touch other ECG monitoring
electrodes, lead wires, dressings, etc. Contact with metal objects may cause electrical arcing and patient
skin burns during defibrillation and may divert current away from the heart.
During manual defibrillation, make sure your hands are dry and free from conductive gel to avoid shock
hazard.
Use care when operating this equipment close to oxygen sources (such as bag-valve-mask devices or
ventilator tubing). Turn off gas source or move source away from patient during defibrillation. This can
cause an explosion hazard.
WARNING
Do not use conductive liquid. Use only conductive gel specified by the equipment manufacturer.
Do not charge and deliver shock frequently for an long time if disposable battery is used.

7 Monitoring ECG (For Pro Only)
7.1 Overview
The electrocardiogram (ECG) measures the electrical activity of the heart and displays it as waveforms and numerics. The
equipment enables ECG monitoring through 3-lead ECG sets and multifunction electrode pads. If both ECG sets and
pads are connected, the configured ECG waveform is displayed in the waveform area.
ECG monitoring is available only on Pro.
7.2 Safety
WARNING
Periodically inspect the electrode application site to ensure skin quality. If the skin quality changes,
replace the electrodes or change the application site.
Use defibrillation-proof ECG cables during defibrillation.
When monitoring a patient implanted with a pacemaker, do not completely rely on the heart rate reading
or the heart rate alarms. Always keep paced patients under close surveillance.
NOTE
If the correct electrodes are applied properly to the patient as instructed by the manufacturer, the display
recovers in 10s after defibrillation.
When connecting electrodes and/or patient cables, make sure that the connectors never come into contact
with other conductive parts, or with earth. Particularly make sure that all of the ECG electrodes are
attached to the patient.
Interference from a non-grounded instrument near the patient and electrosurgery interference may cause
problems with the waveform.
If selected lead cannot provide valid ECG signals, a dash line is shown in the ECG waveform area.
Use the same type of ECG electrodes when monitoring ECG through ECG lead set.

7.4 Preparing to Monitor ECG
7.4.1 ECG Monitoring with Electrodes
1. Prepare the patient’s skin. Proper skin preparation is necessary for good signal quality at the electrode, as the skin is
a poor conductor of electricity. To properly prepare the skin, choose flat areas and then follow this procedure:
Shave hair from skin at chosen sites.
Gently rub skin surface at application sites to remove dead skin cells.
Thoroughly clean the sites with mild soap and water. We do not recommend using ether or pure alcohol,
because this dries the skin and increases the resistance.
Dry the skin completely before applying the electrodes.
2. Attach the clips or snaps to the electrodes before placing them.
3. Place the electrodes on the patient.
4. Attach the lead wires to the ECG trunk cable.
5. Plug the trunk cable into the equipment’s ECG connector.
7.4.1.1 Placing Electrodes
3-Lead Placement
The following is a typical AHA electrode placement for a 3-lead ECG set:
RA placement: directly below the clavicle and near the right shoulder.
LA placement: directly below the clavicle and near the left shoulder.
LL placement: on the left lower abdomen.
7-2
Electrode Placement for Surgical Patients
The surgical site should be taken into consideration when placing electrodes on a surgical patient, e.g. for open-chest
surgery, the chest electrodes can be placed on the lateral chest or back. To reduce artifacts and interference from
electrosurgical units, you can place the limb electrodes close to the shoulders and lower abdomen and the chest
electrodes on the left side of the mid-chest. Do not place the electrodes on the upper arm. Otherwise, the ECG
waveform will be very small.
WARNING
When using electrosurgical units (ESU), place ECG electrodes between the ESU and its grounding plate to
prevent unwanted burns. Never entangle ESU cable and ECG cable together.
When using electrosurgical units (ESU), never place ECG electrodes near to the grounding plate of the ESU,
as this can cause a lot of interference on the ECG signal.
7.4.2 ECG Monitoring with Pads
1. Prepare the patient’s skin.
2. Apply pads according to the instructions for use indicated on pads package. Use anterior-lateral placement.
3. Connect the pads cable with the equipment if not pre-connected.
Pads placement for Adult Patient
1. Place the RA pad on the patient’s upper right torso, lateral to the sternum and below the clavicle, as shown below.
2. Place the LL pad to the patient’s left nipple in the midaxillary line, with the center of the electrode in the midaxillary
line, if possible. See the figure below.

10 Battery
10.1 Introduction
The equipment is designed to operate on battery power. There are two types of batteries supplied, rechargeable and
disposable respectively. We recommend you to check the remaining battery charge periodically to ensure enough
power for defibrillation at any time.
The equipment is configured with one battery which is free of maintenance.
On-screen battery symbol indicates the current battery status:
Indicates that the battery has low charge level and needs to be replaced.
You can check the status of rechargeable battery by pressing the fuel gauge button on the battery to illuminate the
battery gauge. The fuel gauge consisting of 5 LEDs, each LED represents a charge of approximately 20% of capacity.
If the battery charge is too low, a technical alarm will be triggered and the “Low Battery” message displayed in the alarm
area. At this moment, change the battery.
Indicates that battery works correctly. The solid green portion represents the current battery charge level.
Each block represent a charge of approximately 20% capacity.
Indicates that the battery is almost depleted and needs to be replaced immediately.
WARNING
Keep the batteries out of children’s reach.
Use only specified batteries.
The batteries should only be charged in Mindray BatteryFeed20 charger station.
Never charge the disposable battery in any case.
NOTE
Remote upgrade might take a long time and greatly reduce the charge of the installed battery. Please
check the battery status after each upgrade.
After long term use, the power charge indicated by the battery symbol may be different from the actual
charge. Always observe the alarm information displayed on the screen.
10-1
10.2 Battery Alarms
10.2.1 Low Battery Alarm
If the battery charge is low, a technical alarm “Low Battery” will be triggered. In this case, replace the battery with a fully
charged rechargeable battery or a new disposable battery on immediately.
If the battery is almost depleted, a prompt “Battery Depleted! Replace Battery Now.” pops up and alarm tones are
provided. In this case, replace the battery immediately. This prompt will not disappear until the battery is replaced. The
equipment automatically shuts down if no action is taken in 3 minutes.
NOTE
The Low Battery alarm means that the battery is beginning to weaken and should be replaced at the first
opportunity. At least 20 minutes of monitoring and 10 200J shocks can be performed when the Low
Battery alarm is activated. Replace the battery as soon as possible.
10.2.2 Battery Aged Alarm
If the battery runtime is significantly shorter than the specification, a low level technological alarm “Battery Aged” will be
presented. We recommend you to contact our company and replace it with a new one.
10.2.3 Battery Error Alarm
In the situation that the battery has a failure, a high level technological alarm “Battery Err” will be presented. In this case,
replace the battery or contact your service personnel.
10-2
10.3 Replacing Batteries
If the battery is depleted or malfunction is detected, you need to replace the battery. Follow the procedure below:
1. Press down the release button and slide the battery door to the right as indicated to remove the battery door.
2. Pinch the latch on the battery with strength, slide the battery rightward, and lift the battery as indicated below:
3. Make sure the battery to be installed is intact. For rechargeable batteries, make sure the charge is sufficient for use.
4. Align the battery pins, slide the battery into the battery compartment, and press until you hear it click into the
place.
5. Cover the battery door on the compartment, and slide to the left until you hear it click into the place.
NOTE
Check the expiration date displayed on the disposable battery. Remove from use if the battery is expired.
Never remove the battery unless the equipment indicates to do so.
Make sure the battery door is reinstalled properly to protect the equipment and battery.
10.4 Charging Batteries
The rechargeable batteries can be charged only using Mindray BatteryFeed20 charger station. At a temperature of 25°C
(77 °F), a completely discharged battery charges to 90% of its capacity in approximately 2.5 hours, and to 100% of its
capacity in approximately 3 hours.
Batteries should be charged at temperatures between 0 °C (32 °F) to 45 °C (113 °F). To optimize performance, a fully (or
nearly fully) discharged battery should be charged as soon as possible.
For details about the charging of rechargeable batteries, refer to the Instructions for Use of BatteryFeed20 (P/N:
H-046-001947-00).
10-3
10.5 Storing Batteries
When storing batteries, make sure that the battery terminals do not come into contact with metallic objects. If batteries
are stored for an extended period of time, they should be placed in a cool place with a partial charge of 40% to 60%
capacity (3 LEDs illuminated for rechargeable batteries). Storing batteries in a cool place slows the aging process. The
idea storage temperature is 15 °C (60 °F). Batteries should not be stored at temperature outside the range of -20°C (-4 °F)
to 60 °C (140 °F).
NOTE
Storing batteries at temperature above 38 °C (100 °F) for an extended period of time significantly shorten
the life expectancy of a battery.
10.6 Recycling the Batteries
A battery should be discarded if there are visual signs of damage, the battery fails, the battery aged alarm is presented,
the disposable batteries has been used for more than four years, or the rechargeable batteries been used for over two
years. Properly dispose of batteries according to local regulations.
WARNING
Do not disassemble, puncture or incinerate batteries. Do not short the battery terminals. They may ignite,
explode, or leak, causing personal injury.

E Electrical Safety Inspection
The following electrical safety tests are recommended as part of a comprehensive preventive maintenance program.
They are a proven means of detecting abnormalities that, if undetected, could prove dangerous to either the patient or
the operator. Additional tests may be required according to local regulations.
All tests can be performed by using commercially available safety analyzer test equipment. These procedures assume
the use of a 601PROXL International Safety Analyzer or equivalent safety analyzer. Other popular testers complying with
IEC 60601-1 used in Europe, such as Fluke, Metron or Gerb, may require modifications to the procedure. Please follow the
instructions of the analyzer manufacturer.
The electrical safety inspection should be periodically performed per year. The safety analyzer also proves to be an
excellent troubleshooting tool to detect abnormalities of line voltage and grounding, as well as total current loads.
