Equipotential Grounding
When connecting multiple devices, electrical potential difference may be generated between the devices. This may
result in electric shock to the patient connected to these devices. Pay special attention for use in Operating Room,
ICU, CCU, Cardiac Catheter Laboratory, and Cardiovascular X-ray room. To avoid such electrical potential
difference, use the ground cable to connect each device's potential equalization terminal to the same ground terminal.
This is called equipotential grounding.
The ground cable is connector shape which can be connected/disconnected manually without using tools.
