Indeed! That's because they are PC's (I should imagine).

So ... what do the Gods of Risk Assessment have to say about all this?

How about ... for the sake of expediency, we now have electrically sub-standard non-medical equipment being introduced (in increasing numbers) into the very area that us old-school biomeds have regarded on a par with hallowed ground since time (on the biomed scale that is) began! frown

And (by the way) what do these toys do to the LIM's (in cases of isolation power systems being used)? My guess is that they set them off at "half cock" straight away. Not good, in my opinion.

The "latest code" you're thinking of is most likely IEC-62353, I should imagine.


If you don't inspect ... don't expect.
