Connecting the System (continued)
To avoid risk of fire, the system power must be supplied from a
separate, properly rated outlet. See ‘Before moving the system’
on page 1-24 for more information.
Under no circumstances should the AC power plug be altered,
changed, or adapted to a configuration rated less than
specified. Never use an extension cord or adapter plug.
To help assure grounding reliability, connect to a “hospital
grade” or “hospital only” grounded power outlet.
To ensure that the power cable does not disconnect during
system use.
If the system is accidentally unplugged, data may be lost.
Failure to provide an adequate earth circuit can cause electrical
shock, resulting in serious injury.
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.
Only connect Versana Essential and mains-operated
accessories to the appropriate wall outlet. DO NOT connect
them to a single or multiple socket outlets, an extension cord,
power strip or an adapter plug.
To avoid risk of electric shock, this equipment must only be
connected to a supply mains with protective earth.
