Read, understand, and practice the precautionary operating
instructions. Know the limitations and hazards associated with using
any shortwave device. Observe the precautionary and operational
decals placed on the unit.
•
DO NOT operate the Intelect Shortwave 400 in conjuction with any
other devices.
•
DO NOT operate this unit in an environment where other devices
are being used that intentionally radiate electromagnetic energy
in an unshielded manner. Portable and mobile RF communications
equipment can affect Medical Electrical Equipment.
•
Other equipment, including patient connected devices, may be
adversely affected when in close proximity to shortwave therapy
equipment.
•
The unit should be routinely checked before each use to determine
that all controls function normally, especially that the output control
does properly adjust the intensity of the shortwave power output
in a stable manner. Also, determine that the treatment time control
does actually terminate shortwave power output when the timer
reaches zero.
•
DO NOT use sharp objects such as a pencil point or ballpoint pen
to operate the buttons on the control panel as damage may result.
•
This unit should be transported and stored in temperatures
between -40°C and 70°C (-40°F and 158°F) to prevent damage to
the unit or its components.
•
Handle shortwave accessories with care. Inappropriate handling of
the accessories may adversely affect their characteristics.
•
Inspect cables and associated connectors before each use.
•
Remove hearing aids prior to treatment.
•
Treatment should not be given through clothing, although it is
permissible to administer treatment through a dressing or plaster
in pulsed modes.
•
External conductive material should be removed from the
immediate treatment area.
•
Do not use accessories other than those supplied with the unit, or
recommended by DJO, LLC. The safety of other products has not
been established, and their use could result in injury to the patient
and degrade minimum safety.
•
Disconnect the power supply cord before removing covers on
this equipment. Refer the servicing of this unit to qualified service
personnel.
•
This equipment has an output that is capable of producing a
physiological effect.
•
This unit generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy
and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions,
may cause harmful interference to other devices in the vicinity.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in
a particular installation. 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, and
consult the factory field service technician for help.
