Additional safety measures are:

Additional protective earth connection between the two
devices, or a safety insulation mains transformer for the
auxiliary device.

Do not connect a multiple-socket outlet or extension cord to
MyLab
.

Avoid touching the patient and the auxiliary device
simultaneously.
Additionally the IEC60601 requires control measurement of leakage currents.
The system integrator (any person connecting the medical device to other
devices) is responsible that the connections are safe.
WARNING
The system must be powered so to satisfy the electrical safety requirements,
as specified in the “Safety and Standards” manual. Esaote recommends
running a current leakage (patient and environment) test when installing in
order to check whether the applicable limits of standard EN60601-1 are not
being surpassed.
