Re: IEC 61010 requirements
Hello Delphina, Laboratory equipment can be considered medical devices if you advertise them as such or claim that they can be used be physicians to form medical opinions. However, most laboratory equipment manufacturers get around this by claiming that their products are intended for research use only so they don't have to make pre-market approvals to regulatory agencies. How a hospital lab uses non-approved devices is not governed by pre-market approval regulations because the regulations are not intended to tell physicians how to practice medicine. Therefore, to answer your question concerning the use of an isolation transformer, this will depend on whether you need to conform to the leakage current requirements of IEC 61010-1 or 60101-1. I suggest that you purchase copies of both standards and understand their differences. However, based on your equipment description it appears that 61010-1 will be the safety standard you will need to use.

RE: IEC 61010 requirements
There are no requirements for using an isolation transformer as long as you can meet the requirements for touch current (leakage current) without one. These requirements are similiar to 950, and not as stringent as the medical requirement.

RE: RE02 cabling problem
All, I do not recommend that you use heavy filtering at the chamber egress wall to control emissions for a couple of reasons: 1) In good faith, you need to duplicate the actual *system* cabling and loading of the end-target platform equipment or user. With filtered connectors installed at the chamber egress wall, you certainly have isolated the exercise equipment emissions away from the Equipment-Under-Test) EUT, but that is not real world. While you may pass test limit line requirements, when the product is used in the final application it may either radiate or be susceptible. While you can always say you met the specification, it isn't worth losing a customer or degrading your reputation. 2) Filter Connectors can (depending on type and values), present a very low impedance at the chamber egress wall. This is undoubtedly NOT the end of the cable (cabling connected to exercise equipment in the Ante Room). This may cause unforeseen reflections on cables and shields creating worse emissions or degraded susceptibility (alternate return paths) during testing. One way to solve your problem is to specify shielded (overbraided) cabling if you have the ability to. This would have to be something agreed upon between you and your customer. Be careful of product safety concerns in some countries with ungrounded power cabling. The real way to solve the problem is to fix the common mode noise on the cable by source suppression. Sometimes a painful solution but often the best in the long run. This is painful if you are out of schedule (many do EMC testing at the end of their development schedule), working with a difficult OEM device, or cost is an issue. If you can't source suppress it, you're back to containing it with the shielded cabling. Be careful about cable shield pigtails or ferrules and wires. You will almost always have better success with 360 degree overbraid shielding to EMI backshells. Philip Ross Wellington Mgr.

Re: Swissair 111 - long winded even by my standards but an interesting article
Scary! I squirmed in my seat as I read the article. You see I did the electrical design part of a similar system. Our system had a critical design flaw. It was a mechanical error so I was not responsible for the error but it could have crashed the airplane. Luckily we did not use a contractor for certification. We submitted straight to the FAA. The FAA spotted the problem and it was soon fixed. It makes me wonder what would have happened if we used a contractor to certify. In another vein, did anyone else pick up the error in the article? It related to the disk drive. It probably was the reporter's error. I see errors of this kind so frequently when you have a journalist or English major writing about scientific issues. They are not equipped to do the job. Fred Townsend Ken Javor wrote: I drove from Huntsville, AL to Ft. Wayne, IN, today mostly because flying is such a pain these days.

RE: Satellite receiver
Rob I think that what you are experiencing is a fairly literal interpretation of the RTTED by the Turkish authorities (notably the Customs) - one of our own clients experienced similar problems with satellite equipment recently, although that did have an up-link transmitter included in the system. I suspect that the interpretation results from the fact the external network in question is your Virtual Private Network (VPN) since this may be interpreted as meaning that your receiver is NOT considered excluded from the RTTED under Item 4 of Annex I Equipment not covered by this Directive as referred to in Article 1 (4), i.e.: 4. Receive only radio equipment intended to be used solely for the reception of sound and TV broadcasting services. and because it's use falls with the scope of Article 3(3), (whereas a similar domestic receiver would be considered to be excluded). Nevertheless I think you might still be able your RTTED declaration using just the EMCD LVD evidence by virtue of the provisions of Article 3, notably Article 3(1). Our experience to-date suggests that you may also need the ANNEX II Technical Documentation files to back up your submission. Please contact me off-line if you need further assistance.

Northeast Product Safety Society Meeting Next Week on Wednesday, February 26
There will be a Northeast Product Safety Society meeting on Wednesday, February 26th, at EMC Corporation's Customer Briefing Center at 42 South Street in Hopkinton, MA. A social hour with light refreshments will begin at 7:00 PM and the technical meeting will start at 7:30 PM. David W. Simmerer, former Director of Product Reliability at Olson Manufacturing Company, will present this month’s topic on Failure Mode and Effects Analysis. David’s presentation will provide an overview of FMEA and it’s methodology with an example analysis using a Ford car door. He will illustrate FMEA application with past experiences such as brain shunts for JJ in Switzerland, Otis Elevator, and some actual hospital process FMEA's that have done to prevent patient mix-up of diagnosis and prescriptions and stealing of infants, etc. David will condense what is normally a two or three day seminar into 1 hour, and still leave time for QA and discussions afterwards. If you have never taken part in a FMEA this will be a new insight for you, and if you have, then this can provide some refresher information. David W. Simmerer is a management consultant with over 40 years of experience in all areas of quality improvement. David is a former Director of Product Reliability and Human Resources at Olson Manufacturing Company. David studied mechanical engineering and graduated from the WPI School of Industrial Management. He is past chairperson of the American Society for Quality, Worcester Section. David, a certified quality engineer, teaches in the areas of quality improvement and management. Over the past years, David has conducted customized In-House Training for many National and International corporations. The 2003 NPSS meeting schedule is available on the NPSS website at http://www.nepss.org/meetings/NPSS2003Calendar.htm.
