8.1 Potential Equalisation
The bed is equipped with a standard protective connector. This connector is used for potential equalisation
between the bed and any intravascular or intracardiac device connected to the patient to protect the patient from
static electric shocks.
Use equalisation connector if:
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 (Fig. 1) on the bed on which
the patient in question is lying.
Use a standard hospital connector (Fig. 2).
Make sure the connectors match.
Make sure there is no possibility of accidental disconnection.
Before moving the bed:
Disconnect the patient from the intravascular or intracardiac device.
Disconnect the potential equalisation connector.
