This is a test instrument we used to check any electrical equipment that could be hooked to a patient such as a heart rate monitor. The "Upper range" of leakage current is 20 ma but I believe the "limit" was usually in the range of a couple hundred micro-amperes. This is a link to a book that discusses it. http://www.sencore.com/newsletter/June02/Electrical%20Safety%20Book.pdf This has drifted off topic but I post it for the curious.
