equipotential connector on the C-arm system. This will ensure that the
ARCADIS Varic has the same electrical potential as other units connected to the
same protective earth terminal.
When performing cardiac examinations or examinations of the open skull, an addi-
tional grounding cable according to DIN 57107/VDE107 must be routed in rooms of
Application Group 2.

Clamp the grounding cable to the front face of the C-arm system (arrow) and
to an equipotential bonding point in the patient vicinity.
– Equipotential bonding is established.
