The stretcher is equipped with a standard protective connector. This connector is used for potential equalisation between the stret-
cher and any intravascular or intracardiac device connected to the patient to protect the patient from static electric shocks.

■ the patient is connected to any intravascular or intracardiac device.
Before connecting the patient to an intravascular/intracardiac device:
► Connect the ground wire of the device to the potential equalisation
connector on the stretcher on which the patient in question is lying.
► Use a standard hospital connector.
► Make sure that the connectors match.
► Make sure that there is no possibility for inadvertent disconnection.
Before moving the stretcher:
► Disconnect the patient from the intravascular or intracardiac device.
