STANDARDS AND IEC CLASSIFICATIONS
Class I Equipment (IEC 60601-1)
Accessible conductive parts cannot become live in the event of a basic insulation failure because of the way in which
they are connected to the protective earth conductor.
Type BF Equipment (IEC 60601-1) / Defibrillator Proof
The Aaron 950™ Electrosurgical Generator provides a high degree of protection against electric shock,
particularly regarding allowable leakage currents. It is type BF equipment. Patient connections are isolated
from earth and resist the effects of defibrillator discharge.
Drip Proof (IEC 60601-2-2)
The generator enclosure is constructed so that liquid spillage in normal use does not wet electrical insulation or other
components which, when wet, are likely to affect adversely the safety of the generator.
