Going to start off by saying that I fully understand the requirements of NFPA 99's electrical safety testing. But is it wrong of me to think that doing an electrical safety test on medical equipment that is brought in for a single operation, is a lot of unnecessary liability for the hospital biomed? I'm talking about equipment that gets brought in by the company for a single case or for a single doctor and leaves the facility usually by the next day or when the case ends. The responsibility should lie on the company that brings it and takes it away. For an in-house biomed to do a quick safety check on a piece of equipment that is not brand new and is exposed to much more wear and tear (transportation) seems like a liability to me.
