Hi Amal, Michael has provided the following feedback directly from the IEC 60601-1 guidance: "If ME EQUIPMENT has an ENCLOSURE or a part of the ENCLOSURE made of insulating material, metal foil of maximum 20 cm x 10 cm is applied in intimate contact with the ENCLOSURE or relevant part of the ENCLOSURE. "The metal foil is shifted, if possible, to determine the highest value of the TOUCH CURRENT. The metal foil should not touch any metal parts of the ENCLOSURE that are possibly PROTECTIVELY EARTHED; however, metal parts of the ENCLOSURE that are not PROTECTIVELY EARTHED can be covered partly or totally by the metal foil. "Where it is intended to measure the TOUCH CURRENT in the SINGLE FAULT CONDITION of interruption of a PROTECTIVE EARTH CONDUCTOR, the metal foil is arranged to contact parts of the ENCLOSURE that are normally PROTECTIVELY EARTHED. "Where the surface of the ENCLOSURE contacted by the PATIENT or OPERATOR is larger than 20 cm x 10 cm, the size of the foil is increased corresponding to the area of contact. " We hope this helps. Thank you.
Good presentation! The analyzer is very friendly. Thank you!

Hey, why'd you pick class 1 cf? Is class 1 bf for ECG right? Am I wrong?
How did you performed the enclosure leakage test without connecting to any exposed conductive part?

@@SeawardElectronic im studying the iec 62353 and 60601, where is the metal foil located in the presentation?
Thanks, great presentation
Ottimo video, esposizione semplice e lineare, ottimo strumento.
