Class II equipment (medical or otherwise) is designed to fail safe ...
Especially when it's "protected" by the C.E. mark? Again, yeah, right.
And "user checks"? Don't make me laugh!
But you're right about where the more obvious electrical hazards lie, Sean, but that doesn't mean that biomeds should let their guard down, so to speak.
Once you've dragged your test trolley into a ward, you may as well test the whole lot of it (that is, everything you find with a mains plug hanging on - or off - it), I would have thought.
From what you're saying there it sounds like you are keen to visit the wards (wherever) more often than needed:- now and again for Class I kit, and then once in a Blue Moon to check out Class II. Where's the sense in that?
Come on Sean, you're making it sound like you're trying to make a case for
not doing things in the time-honoured, but well-proven ("customary", "anecdotal"?) fashion.
