Hi Ron, I think I am using the same part. Is it the isoloop part? That part is good for 2.5 kV for one minute. We plan to do humidity soak and dielectric tests to show that the basic insulation of the part is adequate for 601-1. I have also talked to the vendor to get the part UL2601 listed. There are several other medical customers using the part. The device is built to the same requirements/specs as the opto isolators so I have good feeling it is OK for our application (60601-1). Just be aware that some of the parts don't quite meet the 30 kV/uS transient immunity spec. and they do not spec the magnetic immunity. As you know, 3 A/m is required by 601. They jitter like crazy when you bring a 50/60 Hz field next to them. What freq. will you be running them at? They have higher immunity at 5 Volts supply voltages.

I plan on using a digital isolator, but the component does not have IEC601 approval. The component does have 2500V isolation and 8 mm creepage. Questions: 1) When our product is submitted for IEC601 certification, how does the use of the non 601 approved part affect the investigation? 2) Does the investigator need the schematic for that component? What if the schematic is not available? 3) If the component already has other approvals (UL1950 or UL1577). How does this affect the approval process? Thanks in advance.
