Make sure that the value of the supply voltage corresponds to that indicated on the data plate of the device.
If you are using the device in connection with others, ensure that: all connections are made by skilled persons; all connections
comply with safety regulations; all other devices connected respond likewise to regulations. Non-compliance with these
regulations can cause physical harm to the patient connected and to the person operating the device. Should it be difficult to
