USER MANUAL
CLASS III SYMBOL
A Class III appliance is designed to be supplied from a separate/safety
extra-low voltage (SELV) power source. The voltage from a SELV supply is
low enough that, under normal conditions, a person can safely come into
contact, without the risk of electrical shock. The extra safety features built
into Class I and Class II appliances are, therefore, not required. For medical
devices, compliance with Class III is not considered sufcient protection,
and further, more-stringent regulations apply to such equipment.
