shocks, but also provides a means of connection to a protective earth system of facilities so
that metal parts that come into contact do not become conductive while the basic insulation is
in failure.
Degree of protection against electric shocks: Type B applied part
Type B applied part is the applied part complying with the specified requirements of the Stan-
dard IEC 60601-1 to provide protection against electric shock, particularly regarding allowable

ingress of water defined in IEC60529 is IPx0.)
Classification according to the method(s) of sterilization or disinfection rec-
ommended by the manufacturer: not applicable.
CV-5000 has no part to be sterilized or be disinfected.
Classification according to the degree of safety of application in the pres-
