I wouldn't use a generic laptop, just because that could be questioned. Is it not possible to use one of the manufacturer-designated laptops? That can't be reasonably questioned.

Hi,

 1. One of our customers manufactures a medical device that is
    connected to a USB port of a laptop/Personal Computer.
 2. The USB port provides both DC and communication to the device.
 3. The connected laptop/PC has no relation to the Basic Safety or
    Essential Performance of the device.
 4. The manufacturer requires end users to use only approved
    laptops/PC’s (not necessarily approved for the MDD).
 5. Testing will be performed using a generic laptop.
 6. Since the laptop/pc does not affect the basic safety or essential
    performance of the device, can all testing relating to the AC
    power of the laptop/pc (power lines conducted emissions,
    harmonics, flickers, EFFT/B, surges, conducted RF disturbances,
    and voltage dips And short interruptions) be omitted. Laptop/PC
    designated as auxiliary equipment.
 7. All opinions welcome.
