LOGIQ/Vivid/Voluson Ultrasound System Leakage Current Limits  
(continued)
*ISO and Mains Applied refers to the sink leakage test where 
mains (supply) voltage is applied to the applied part to 
determine the amount of current that will pass (or sink) to ground 
if a patient is in contact with mains voltage.
