OK Mike, maybe my reply had been a bit "tongue in cheek"; and (to be honest) I had missed where Seadog had already mentioned that the kit was new (I had imagined something a bit older, and probably rougher, like ones I have come across in the past).
In my experience, the real electrical hazards were often to be found lurking in the "forgotten areas" (such as satellite clinics, hospital Outpatients Departments, secret cupboards on the wards and what-have-you) ... that is, rather than on modern equipment in the "high-tech" areas. I have in mind "traditional" items of electromedical equipment such as (for example) Bullnose Examination Lamps, ancient cautery sets ... and even colposcopes.
To return to the case in point, I would need to examine the item, and maybe get my multimeter out to run a few tests. As this is new equipment, if (during acceptance testing) I wasn't happy about the state of it, I would take it up with the supplier in the first instance; otherwise I would indeed be ready get the tools out again!
PS: we haven't yet learned the results of Seadog's EST checks.
