Essential safety features of an EMG/medical grade device?
EMG consists of an electrode gel skin interface, op-amps with a certain gain and an ADC. Question is in the context of passive electrodes.
What are the essential safety features of such types of hardware?
One option to make such hardware safer is to make it battery powered. What other safety features are generally recommended?

The answer to these questions are in the IEC 60601 standard. If you are involved in electrical design of a medical device (or anything that has a hint of medical device), then at a minimum you should familiarize yourself with section 8 of the IEC 60601-1.
I also recommend finding an experienced medical device electrical engineer as a reviewer.
