“Equipotentiality” indicates the terminal to be used for connecting 
equipotential conductors when interconnecting (grounding) with 
other equipment.
Connection of additional protective earth conductors or potential 
equalization conductors is not necessary in most cases and is only 
recommended for situations involving multiple equipment in a high-
risk patient environment to provide assurance that all equipment is at 
the same potential and operates within acceptable leakage current 
limits. An example of a high-risk patient would be a special procedure 
where the patient has an accessible conductive path to the heart 
such as exposed cardiac pacing leads.

disposed of in accordance with local or country laws. The letters 
below the separate collection symbol indicate whether certain 
elements (Pb=Lead, Cd=Cadmium, Hg=Mercury) are contained in 
the battery. To minimize potential effects on the environment and 
human health, it is important that all marked batteries that you 
remove from the product are properly recycled or disposed. For
