Bill, It seems to me that a hospital cannot avoid ITE-level equipment for most of its administrative functions, but MUST avoid this leakage where patient contact (i.e.: monitoring and therapy) is involved. A simple first-order precaution might be to run OTS electronics on isolation transformers. Cortland Richmond This message is from the IEEE Product Safety Engineering Society emc-pstc discussion list.
