medical electrical system resources?

Oct 05, 2008 1 Replies

Where can I find resources related to medical electrical system (for usa)? It is a more stringent than home electrical system.



Some questions I have:



Where can you find electricians trained in medical electrical? Do they have a different certification than regular electricians?



What government agency is responsible for inspecting medical electrical system? How often do you need the inspection? Everytime the clinic install a new piece of electrical equipment?



Any forum similar to this one except geared towards medical electrical issues?



Where to find brief summary of the current standard (IEC 60601-1) useful for end users (doctors, nurse, electricians who works in clinics or hospitals)?


Try UL 60601 series of standards.
