Dear List Members,
 
One of our suppliers inadvertently shipped us a power supply that was
certified to 60601 instead of 60950. About 200 of these medical grade power
supplies were installed into ITE equipment similar to a Server.
 
While we know this is a violation, we are all wondering about the following:
 
* What are the physical differences between the two types of pwr supplies (
60950 vs 60601)
 
* What safety events would most likely occur due to this error? 
 
* What specific components could fail and why.
 
We plan to recall and replace the power supplies but should this be a
methodical approach or a 911 approach informing the customers to immediately
shutdown the equipment.
 
So far, the equipment has been running for approximately 6 months with no
issues.
 
Thank you!
 
Christine
