Leakage Testing and Ground Continuity Testing

this product is double insulated (Class II). It is constructed with two completely independent electrical insulation systems. the
power cord ground pin provided polarizes the plug; ie., normally, the plug can be inserted into a receptacle only in one direction.
It is not used to ground the unit. Grounding is not required. the unit shall not be modified to ground the unit.
arjoHuntleigh products certified as Double Insulated (Class II) meet the requirements of the medical electrical equipment
Standards (UL60601-1, IEC60601-1, and EN60601-1) and are labeled accordingly. Each box of the designation label (see Symbols
Used) symbolizes the two independent insulation systems.

Leakage Testing

Double Insulated electrical devices (normally ungrounded apparatus) must be tested differently than other electrical devices.
Per the Medical Electrical Equipment Standard (UL60601-1), the manufacturer, Underwriters Laboratories Inc. and other test
organizations, all parties interested in testing for current leakage shall use the methods identified for Double Insulation (Class II).
Refer to electrical standards UL60601-1, IEC 60601-1 or EN 60601-1, Clause 19 and ANSI/AAMI ES1:1993.

Ground Continuity Testing

Double Insulated products (normally ungrounded apparatus) rely on two independent electrical insulation systems that are
isolated from metal parts. Ground continuity is not required.
