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.

Make sure that during operation, the instrument is free of condensation. Condensation can form when
equipment is moved from one building to another, thus being exposed to moisture and differences in
temperature.
