Warranty and Product Support
Fluke Biomedical warrants this instrument against defects in materials and workmanship for one year from the date of
original purchase OR two years if at the end of your first year you send the instrument to a Fluke Biomedical service center
for calibration. You will be charged our customary fee for such calibration. During the warranty period, we will repair or at our
option replace, at no charge, a product that proves to be defective, provided you return the product, shipping prepaid, to
Fluke Biomedical. This warranty covers the original purchaser only and is not transferable. The warranty does not apply if
the product has been damaged by accident or misuse or has been serviced or modified by anyone other than an authorized
Fluke Biomedical service facility. NO OTHER WARRANTIES, SUCH AS FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ARE
EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED. FLUKE SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL OR
CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OR LOSSES, INCLUDING LOSS OF DATA, ARISING FROM ANY CAUSE OR THEORY.
This warranty covers only serialized products and their accessory items that bear a distinct serial number tag. Recalibration
of instruments is not covered under the warranty.
This warranty gives you specific legal rights and you may also have other rights that vary in different jurisdictions. Since
some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of an implied warranty or of incidental or consequential damages,
this limitation of liability may not apply to you. If any provision of this warranty is held invalid or unenforceable by a court or
other decision-maker of competent jurisdiction, such holding will not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision.

Introduction
The Fluke Biomedical ESA620 Electrical Safety Analyzer
(hereafter the Analyzer) is a full-featured, compact,
portable analyzer, designed to verify the electrical safety
of medical devices. The Analyzer tests to international
(IEC 60601-1, EN62353, AN/NZS 3551, IEC61010, VDE
751) and domestic (ANSI/AAMI ES1, NFPA 99) electrical-
safety standards. The integrated ANSI/AAMI ES1,
IEC60601-1, and IEC61010 patient loads are easily
selectable.
The Analyzer performs the following tests:
•Mains (Line) voltage
•Protective Earth (or Ground Wire) Resistance
•Equipment current
•Insulation resistance
•Earth (Ground) leakage
•Enclosure (Chassis) leakage
•Patient (Lead to Ground) and patient auxiliary
(Lead to Lead) leakage
•Mains on applied parts leakage (Lead isolation)
•Differential leakage
•Direct equipment leakage
•Direct applied part leakage
•Alternative equipment leakage
•Alternative applied part patient leakage
•Accessible part leakage
•Accessible part voltage
•Point to point leakage, voltage, and resistance
•ECG simulation and performance waveforms

Safety Information
Safety Information
In this manual, a Warning identifies conditions and
procedures that are dangerous to the user. A Caution
identifies conditions and procedures that can cause
damage to the Product or the equipment under test.
 Warning
To prevent possible electrical shock or
personal injury:
•Use this Analyzer only in the manner
specified by the manufacturer or the
protection provided may be impaired.
•Read the Users Manual before operating
the Analyzer.
•Do not connect the Analyzer to a patient
or equipment connected to a patient. The
Analyzer is intended for equipment
evaluation only and should never be
used in diagnostics, treatment or in any
other capacity where the Analyzer would
come in contact with a patient.
•Do not use the product in wet locations,
around explosive gases or dust.
•Inspect the Analyzer before using it. Do
not use the Analyzer if abnormal
conditions of any sort are noted (such as
a faulty display, broken case, etc.)
•Inspect the test leads for damaged
insulation or exposed metal. Check test
lead continuity. Replace damaged leads
before using the Analyzer.
•When testing, always be sure to keep
your fingers behind the safety barriers
on the test leads.
•Never open the Analyzer's case.
Dangerous voltages are present. There
are no user replaceable parts in the
Analyzer.
•Have the Analyzer serviced only by
qualified personnel.
•Do not use the 15-20 A adapter to power
devices rated in excess of 15 A. Doing so
may overload the installation.

ESA620
Getting Started Manual
•The Analyzer must be properly earthed.
Only use a supply socket that has a
protective earth contact. If there is any
doubt as to the effectiveness of the
supply socket earth, do not connect the
Analyzer. Do not use a two-conductor
adapter or extension cord; this will break
the protective ground connection.
•Use extreme caution when working with
voltages above 30 volts.
•Use the proper terminals, functions and
ranges for the test being performed.
•Do not touch metal parts of the device
under test (DUT) during analysis. The
DUT should be considered an electrical
shock hazard when connected to the
Analyzer as some tests involve high
voltages, high currents, and/or the
removal of DUT earth bond.
Intended Use
The Analyzer is intended for use by trained service
technicians to perform periodic inspections on a wide
range of medical equipment. The testing procedures are
menu-driven, and simple to operate.
The Product is an electronic signal source and
measurement device for verifying the electrical safety of
medical devices. The Product also provides ECG
simulation and performance waveforms to verify patient
monitors are performing within their operating
specifications.
The Product provides the following function categories:
•ECG Functions
•ECG-Performance Testing
The intended user is a trained biomedical equipment
technician who performs periodic preventative
maintenance checks on patient monitors in service. Users
can be associated with hospitals, clinics, original
equipment manufacturers and independent service
companies that repair and service medical equipment.
