Why should you conduct electrical safety tests on medical equipment?

Leakage current is the amount of electrical current which is always present in a piece of equipment or system.
Leakage current tests remove the protective ground to see how much current would flow through a person when the ground is disconnected.
If a piece of equipment is designed with improper grounding or the grounding is compromised, this will result in direct or indirect harm to high risk and other patients.
Normal use of portable, cord-connected equipment can lead to the risk of leakage current due to wear and tear on cords and plugs. Also, if a connection plug is incorrectly re-attached, exposure to leakage current will result.
These anticipated conditions and the resulting leakage current can cause cardiac arrest.

Studies on the effects of leakage current on humans show that leakage current will cause cardiac arrest in certain patients, especially for high-risk patients. However, everyone involved with patients or present in these areas is exposed.
For example, if a healthcare worker touches a piece of equipment with higher-than-safe leakage current and also touches the patient, the patient and the healthcare worker will be put at risk.
If a piece of equipment is worn or damaged, the likelihood of shock or energy hazard increases
