The Electrical Safety Manual 2015, authored by consultant Matt Baretich, outlines the key components of an electrical safety program for medical devices and how to implement such a program. It also provides an overview of important codes, standards, and regulations that affect medical devices.
The updated manual places an emphasis on ensuring that electrically powered devices are as free as possible from hazards. It notes that electrical safety has been enhanced over the years with improvements to the design of medical devices and stronger maintenance programs. Two big updates are the inclusion of material regarding facility-
related electrical safety – particularly information on isolated power systems – and the 2012 update to the National Fire Protection Association 99 Health Care Facilities Code.
