How to solve the problem of excessive leakage current in the healthcare industry

摘要

Individual hospital grade isolation transformers offer an inexpensive and quick solution to reduce excessive and harmful leakage (touch) current from aging medical devices and consumer-grade electronics in the operating room, patient care vicinities, and patient rooms. They allow purchase and use of consumer grade electronics while still be in full compliance with the NFPA 99. The emphasis in the 2012 edition of a risk-based approach to determine levels of patient and staff safety is a good reason to install such isolation transformers, an insurance to provide the ultimate protection.
