Product Overview
The ZLT-P11 Cone Test Tool Probe is a specialized entrapment testing instrument produced by ZLTJC, engineered to comply with IEC 60601-2-52:2009 Figure 201.103a—the international standard for evaluating entrapment risks in medical equipment. Unlike cylinder-shaped test tools, its conical design is optimized to simulate the shape of human body parts (e.g., limbs, torso), making it ideal for testing larger gaps or curved surfaces in medical devices.
Crafted from high-grade aluminum, the ZLT-P11 balances lightweight handling with robust performance. Its total weight is precisely calibrated to 5.1 kg±0.05 kg—a critical specification defined by IEC 60601-2-52 to replicate realistic entrapment forces. The tool features a marked centre line for accurate alignment during tests, a surface roughness of 1.6 μm to reduce friction-related errors, and a drilling hole for weight adjustment (enabling customization for unique testing scenarios).
Manufactured in China, the ZLT-P11 is designed for ease of use and long-term reliability. It has an MOQ of 1 unit, accepts payment via T/T or D/P, and offers a lead time of 10 days from order confirmation, with shipments departing from Guangzhou port. This tool is essential for medical device manufacturers, labs, and inspectors seeking to ensure their products meet global safety standards and protect end-users from entrapment hazards.

Product Features
Conical Design for Realistic Testing: The cone shape simulates human body parts (e.g., limbs), making it ideal for testing larger gaps, curved surfaces, or irregular openings in medical equipment—complementing cylinder tools for comprehensive entrapment evaluation.
Strict IEC Compliance: Aligns with IEC 60601-2-52:2009 Figure 201.103a, ensuring test results are recognized for international medical device certifications (CE, FDA, CB).
Precision Weight Control: Total weight of 5.1 kg±0.05 kg meets IEC standards, guaranteeing that entrapment forces measured during tests reflect real-world risks.
Lightweight Aluminum Construction: Aluminum reduces the tool’s overall weight (compared to stainless steel) for easier handling, while maintaining durability and resistance to wear.
Accurate Alignment & Adjustment: The marked centre line simplifies precise positioning, and the weight adjustment hole allows for minor modifications to suit custom testing needs.
Application
The ZLT-P11 Cone Test Tool Probe is designed for scenarios where conical geometry better replicates human body parts, making it essential for:
Third-Party Certification Labs (e.g., SGS, BSI): Conducting compliance testing for medical devices seeking IEC 60601-2-52 certification. The cone design provides a more comprehensive assessment than cylinder tools alone.
Healthcare Facilities: Auditing medical equipment (e.g., pediatric beds, geriatric chairs) to verify safety for vulnerable populations, where entrapment risks are heightened.
R&D Departments: Developing new medical devices with complex shapes (e.g., wearable monitors, rehabilitation equipment). The ZLT-P11 helps engineers identify and resolve entrapment hazards early in the design process.
FAQ
How does the ZLT-P11 differ from the ZLT-P12 (cylinder test tool)?
The primary difference is shape and weight: the ZLT-P11 is a cone (simulating larger body parts like limbs) with a weight of 5.1 kg±0.05 kg, while the ZLT-P12 is a cylinder (for smaller gaps) with a weight of 3.34 kg±0.05 kg. Both comply with IEC 60601-2-52 but are used for complementary testing scenarios—cone tools for larger/curved gaps, cylinder tools for smaller openings.
Why is aluminum used instead of stainless steel for the ZLT-P11?
Aluminum is lighter than stainless steel, making the 5.1 kg cone tool easier to maneuver during tests (especially when evaluating tall or hard-to-reach areas of medical equipment). It also maintains sufficient durability and corrosion resistance for lab environments, ensuring long-term reliability.
What is the purpose of the marked centre line on the ZLT-P11?
The centre line ensures the tool is aligned correctly with the test area (e.g., a gap in a hospital bed rail). Proper alignment is critical for accurate entrapment force measurements, as misalignment can lead to false positives or negatives in test results.
Can the ZLT-P11 be used for non-medical equipment?
While the ZLT-P11 is designed for IEC 60601-2-52 (medical devices), it may be adapted for entrapment testing of other products (e.g., furniture, fitness equipment) if their safety standards require conical test tools. However, it is recommended to confirm compatibility with the specific standard for non-medical applications.
What is the lead time for the ZLT-P11?
The standard lead time is 10 days from order confirmation. ZLTJC ships from Guangzhou port, and delivery times vary by destination (e.g., 2-4 days for Hong Kong/Macau, 8-12 days for North America).
