WARNING
Using this unit for medical purposes
The connectors on this unit are not isolated.
Always use USB-compatible external hard drives and
USB memory devices that operate solely on the
power supplied by the unit.
Connecting a device that operates on an AC power
supply may result in an influx of leakage currents
from the connected device, which may in turn result
in electric shocks to the patient and operator.
If use of such devices cannot be avoided, be sure to
connect an isolation transformer to the power supply
of the connected device or connect an isolator
between the connection cables to isolate the power
supply, and verify that the risk of electric shock from
the system has been sufficiently reduced to levels that
conform to IEC60601-1 standards.
