Use only tables, stands, power cords and accessories that are specially
designed for the Triton traction unit. Do not use accessories manufactured

for any consequence resulting from using products manufactured by other

Do not apply electrodes over broken or compromised skin (e.g., sunburn, cuts,
acne) due to increased risk of skin reactions.

Do not plug lead wires into power outlets such as wall sockets and line cord
receptacles. Doing so could result in severe shock or burns whether or not the
lead wires are attached to the unit.
•
In the event that an Error message or Warning appears beginning with a 2
or 3, immediately stop all use of the system and contact the dealer or DJO,
LLC for service. Errors and Warnings in these categories indicate an internal
problem with the unit that must be tested by DJO, LLC or a Field Service

unit. Use of a unit that indicates an Error or Warning in these categories may
pose a risk of injury to the patient, user or extensive internal damage to the

•
Disconnect the traction unit from the power source before attempting any
maintenance, installation, removal, or replacement procedures to prevent
electrical shock and possible damage to the unit.
•
The traction unit should only be used by a qualified licensed practitioner in a
position of supervision during therapy. For that reason, do not attempt to put
yourself in traction with this unit.
