Establishing Potential Equalization; Connecting The Potential Equalization Cable - Dräger Primus Infinity Empowered Instructions For Use Manual

WARNING
Risk of electric shock
Connecting devices to the auxiliary outlets of
the anesthesia machine can cause an in-
crease in leakage current beyond permissible
values if the protective conductor of a device
fails.
Check the leakage current when connecting
devices to the auxiliary outlets. If connecting
a device (or devices) increases the leakage
current to a value which exceeds the permis-
sible value, do not use the auxiliary outlets of
the anesthesia machine; use a separate wall
socket instead.
The system must fulfill the requirements for
medical electrical equipment in accordance
with the relevant standards, see the chapter
"Technical Data", page 270.

Establishing potential equalization

e.g., for intracardiac or intracranial surgery.
Differences in electrical potential between devices
can be reduced by potential equalization.
Potential equalization does not replace the protec-
tive ground connection.
During operation, the potential equalization con-
nectors must be readily accessible and the connec-
tion must be able to be disconnected without the
use of tools.
Connecting the potential equalization
cable
A
1 Connect the potential equalization cable to the
potential equalization pin (A).
2 Connect the potential equalization cable to a
potential equalization connector of the hospital
(e. g. wall, ceiling supply unit, operating table).
3 Establish potential equalization to additional de-
vices using the potential equalization pin (B).
