AK 98™ Dialysis Machine - AK 98™ Installation guide 35
Procedure
1) If a potential equalization connector is to be installed, follow local installation
procedures.
The AK 98 dialysis machine is in compliance with certain requirements concerning
patient leakage current from the dialysis fluid in accordance with international
standards and regulations.
NOTE!
A cable for the potential equalization socket may be ordered separately, order
no. K24670001. Please contact your local Gambro Service representative.
Figure 2-22. Potential equalization connector
WARNING!
To minimise the risk of arrhythmia due to leakage currents when a central venous
catheter is used, and the tip of the catheter is close to the heart, it is necessary to
connect the potential equalisation conductor between the AK 98 dialysis machine
and the potential equalisation busbar in the electrical installation.
WARNING!
To minimise the risk of arrhythmia due to leakage currents from other electrical
equipment when a central venous catheter is used, and the tip of the catheter is
close to the heart, any equipment within the patient area shall have leakage
current values below respective limit required by CF type applied parts.
CAUTION!
Potential equalization also has to be used when legal requirements of the
installation place requires it, e.g. in Germany according to DIN VDE 0100-710 in
rooms of application type 2.
