GENERAL WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS

INTELECT

RPW 2 USER MANUAL

WARNING

• This equipment is not designed to prevent the ingress of water or liquids. Ingress of water or liquids could cause

malfunction of internal components of the system and therefore create a risk of injury to the patient.

•  This device should be used only by a physician or licensed practitioner.
•  Contaminated transmitters, and gel can lead to infection. Disinfect the handpiece after each treatment.
•  DO NOT use the Intelect RPW 2 in water (Bath, Shower, etc.) that could cause electronic failure
•  DO NOT operate the Intelect RPW 2 within the vicinity or environment of any microwave and RF shortwave diathermy

system.

• DO NOT operate this device in an environment where other devices are being used that intentionally radiate

electromagnetic energy in an unshielded manner.

•  To avoid the risk of electric shock, this equipment must only be connected to a supply mains with protective earth.
•  DO NOT apply more than 300 shocks to the same spot during treatment
•   Avoid excessive pressure of the shock transmitter to the patient’s skin.
•  DO NOT trigger pulses unless the pulse transmitter is in contact with the treatment zone.
•  Portable RF communications equipment should be used no closer than 30 cm (12 inches) to any part of the Intelect RPW

2, including cables specified by the manufacturer. Otherwise, degradation of the performance of this equipment could
result.

• Use of accessories, handpieces and transmitters other than those specified or provided by the manufacturer of

this equipment could result in increased electromagnetic emissions or decreased electromagnetic immunity of this
equipment and result in improper operation.

• Device is designed to comply with electromagnetic safety standards. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate

radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with instructions for use, may cause harmful
interference to other devices in the vicinity. Harmful interference to other devices can be determined by turning this
equipment on and off. Try to correct the interference using one or more of the following:

    » Reorient or relocate the receiving device
    » Increase the separation between the equipment
    » Connect the equipment to an outlet on a different circuit from that to which the other device(s)
      are connected
    » Consult your authorized DJO dealer for help.
•  No modification of this equipment is allowed
•  The Intelect

RPW 2 may be susceptible to Electro-Static Discharge (ESD) at greater than ±8 kV when first grasping

either the Falcon or V actor hand piece. In the event of such a discharge, the Intelect

RPW 2 may experience

communication loss. The Intelect

RPW 2 will terminate all active outputs, automatically place the device in a safe state.

• To prevent Electro-Static Discharge (ESD) at greater than ±8 kV:

Grasp and hold the hand piece prior to starting treatment. If the applicator must be put down prior to completion

of treatment, stop the current treatment first and then place the applicator in the holder.

Maintain humidity in the use environment to at least 35% relative humidity.

Floors should be wood, concrete, or ceramic tile. If floors are covered with synthetic material, DJO recommends

implementing additional controls to maintain relative humidity to at least 35%.

Communicate these ESD-precautionary procedures to healthcare staff, contractors, visitors, and patients.

• DO NOT block the device's vents.
• Potential electromagnetic or other interference could occur to thsi or other equipment. Try to minimize this interference

by not using other equipment in conjunction with it.
