Caring for your
ACTIVATOR
Your
ACTIVATOR
should not be allowed to get wet or be left in excessive sunlight. It may be
cleaned regularly using a soft cloth, lightly dampened in soapy water. Do not allow the
interior of the
ACTIVATOR
to become wet. Do not use detergents, alcohol, spray aerosols or
strong solvents on the
ACTIVATOR
.
Access to the interior of the
ACTIVATOR
is not required for maintenance purposes.
If your
ACTIVATOR
is damaged, you should not use it, but should return it to
BMR
or your local
retailer for replacement or repair. Repairs, service and modifications may not be carried
out by anyone other than qualified service personnel authorized by
BMR
.
IMPORTANT
:
Under no circumstance should anything other than the correct type of batteries
- (rechargeable batteries 3.6V NiMH) be used with your
ACTIVATOR
. These can be purchased
from the Careline.
Disposing of the GelPads and batteries
Used GelPads and batteries must never be disposed of in a fire but in accordance with
national or state laws governing the disposal of such items.
NOTE
:
The signal gradually increases to a peak intensity level at the start of the contraction
phase (i.e. ramp up) and gradually decreases to nothing at the start of the relaxation phase
(i.e. ramp down). When the symbol is flashing, the stimulus is significantly reduced.

technical specifications
Description of your
ACTIVATOR
’s symbols:
There are a number of technical markings on your
ACTIVATOR
. These can be explained as follows:
The
ACTIVATOR
and garments are manufactured for Bio-Medical Research Ltd, Parkmore
Business Park West, Galway, Ireland.
The
ACTIVATOR
requires 1 x 3.6 volt (NiMH) DC battery pack DC is indicated by the symbol:
The Output Frequency indicates the number of pulses per second transmitted by the
ACTIVATOR
.
This is measured in hertz, which is indicated by “Hz”.
Output (RMSA) means the maximum output root mean square current for each channel.
Output (RMSV) means the maximum output root mean square voltage for each channel.
This symbol means “Attention, consult the accompanying documents”.
This symbol means type BF applied parts.
This symbol on your
ACTIVATOR
is to indicate conformity to the requirements of the
Medical Device Directive (93/ 42/EEC). 0366 is the number of the notified body (VDE).
Conforms to UL STD 60601-1.
Certified to CAN/CSA.
STD C22.2 NO 601.1
SN stands for ‘serial number’. Inside the box, on the back of the
ACTIVATOR
is the serial number
specific to this
ACTIVATOR
. The letter preceding the number indicates the year of manufacture,
where “P” denotes 2010, “Q” denotes 2011 etc.
The garments’ batch number is represented on their packaging, by the number corresponding
with the LOT symbol.
