Inspecting electrical instruments for insulation failure

[...]of this incident our safety officer and risk manager have been conducting inspections of everything, including the cleaning and maintenance of any electrical patient care equipment used in the OR and during surgical procedures. There was no issue found with the piece of equipment the nurse got the minor shock from. Since we have never had such a complaint in the past, I believe that this incident was a fluke and surely unrelated to how things are done in SPD. [...]when reprocessing insulation instrumentation, medical devices and their accessories such as, cords, wires and attachments, it is imperative that the manufacturers' IFUs be precisely followed, and that the insulation be visually inspected and tested with an insulation testing device (see figure 1).
