This research presents the development and application of a program for the verification of
short wave diathermy (SWD) equipment which included a diagnosis survey showing data
relative to the instruments, use conditions, visual inspection and analysis of accompanying
documents having as reference the requirements of brazilian standards NBR IEC 601-1 and
NBR IEC 601-2-3. The program also comprised the implementation of electrical safety tests
for the equipment and the environment (electrical installations) and the measurement of
electric fields emitted by the SWD instruments. The results showed that the manufacturers do
not completely follow the standards for the specifications of the instruments and
accompanying documents as well as for the installations. Also, the physiotherapists do not
have general knowledge on the standards. Concerning the electrical safety tests, the measured
values of leakage currents of the instruments were within the limits required by the standards
however for the electrical installations there were some failures. Considering the electric
fields, high values were measured (above the limit of 61 V/m) nearby the SWD instruments.
One can conclude that manufacturers and professionals (physiotherapists) must have more
knowledge regarding the requirements of the standards including the electrical safety and the
exposure to electromagnetic fields, in order to avoid risks for the patient and the
physiotherapists. |
