UIDELINES
—
PLEASE READ
—
It is very important to follow the electrode placement guidelines when connecting stimulator electrodes from the
BSLSTM to a subject.
The BSLSTM can output lethal levels of energy!
❖
Always set the
Level
to “0” Volts prior to connecting the stimulator electrodes to the subject.
❖
Increase the
Level
adjustment slowly until a response is noted.
❖
Never increase the
Level
more than necessary to obtain the desired response.
❖
The
BSLSTM
should only be used under direct supervision of an Instructor.
❖
Never place any stimulator leads in the mouth or any other body orifice.
❖
To prevent a “Ground loop,” the
Ground
of the stimulator electrode and the
Ground
of the measuring
electrode(s) must always be connected to the same location.
❖
Use the
HSTM01 Human Stimulation Electrode
for human stimulation.
❖
To prevent a current path that goes across or through the heart, the stimulator electrodes and the measuring
electrodes should always be in close proximity.
For example
, if making measurements on an arm, the stimulator electrodes and measuring electrodes —
including the ground electrodes — must be on the same arm. Any other electrodes or transducers that
make electrical contact with the body should not be connected while the stimulator is connected.
