ISO-PUCK

Overview

Electrical Safety Standards to prevent Electric Shock

Over the past several years we have seen an increased national and international awareness of the potential hazard to humans of electrical shock from patient care equipment. This concern produced the third edition of the safety standard IEC60601-1:2005. In the US the equivalent safety standard is ANSI/AAMI ES60601-1:2005(R) 2012

ISO-PUCK medical grade isolation transformers prevent hazardous and possibly life threatening levels of leakage ( touch) current in medical devices and commercial grade electronics including computers, monitors, printers and other non-battery operated electrical equipment used in OR and patient care areas.

ISO-PUCK isolation transformers do not feature output Neutral to Ground Bond. They provide a true floating system (IT Earthing System) for maximum protection against excessive ground leakage current.

In the United States, the 2012 edition of NFPA 99 went through a major overhaul as it was changed from a standard to a code to reflect how the document is used and adopted. It is now a risk based document.  Maximum allowed level of leakage (touch) current is 100 micro amps in fixed equipment and 500 micro amps in portable equipment.

Power Strips (RPT’s Relocatable Power Taps)

NFPA 99 does not specify the safety standard to which a power strip (RPT) must be listed. There are two standards applicable to power strips in healthcare facilities. UL1363A for use in patient care areas and UL1363 for non-patient care areas.

Unless otherwise instructed by our customer we will always provide our ISO-PUCK with a power strip listed to UL1363A.

Wet Locations

Whenever an operating room is designated as a wet location, installing an isolation transformer like the ISO-PUCK rather than a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) avoids interruption of power during surgery.
