Connect the grounding wire to the equipotential grounding terminal on the main system. If it is not evident
from the instrument specifications whether a particular instrument combination is hazardous or not,
for example due to summation of leakage currents, the user should consult the manufacturers concerned
or else an expert in the field, to ensure that the necessary safety of all instruments concerned will not be
impaired by the proposed combination.
Equipotential Grounding
Protection class 1 instruments are already included in the protective grounding (protective earth) system
of the room by way of grounding contacts in the power plug. For internal examinations on the heart or the
brain, the Monitor must have a separate connection to the equipotential grounding system. One end of the
equipotential grounding cable (potential equalization conductor) is connected to the equipotential grounding
terminal on the instrument rear panel and the other end to one point of the equipotential grounding system.
The equipotential grounding system assumes the safety function of the protective grounding conductor if
ever there is a break in the protective grounding system. Examinations in or on the heart (or brain) should
only be carried out in medically used rooms incorporating an equipotential grounding system. Check each
time before use that the instrument is in perfect working order. The cable connecting the patient to the
instrument must be free of electrolyte.
Warning
If the protective grounding (protective earth) system is doubtful, the monitor must be supplied by inner
power only.
Condensation
Make sure that during operation, the instrument is free of condensation. Condensation can form when equip-
ment is moved from one building to another, thus being exposed to moisture and differences in
temperature.
Warning
Possible explosion hazard if used in the presence of flammable anesthetics.
Explanation of Symbols in the Monitor
This symbol means Refer to instruction manual/booklet
Hazard or Warning - pay close attention
This symbol indicates that the instrument is IEC 60601-1 Type CF equipment. The unit
displaying this symbol contains an F-Type isolated (floating) patient applied part providing
a high degree of protection against shock, and is suitable for use during defibrillation.
