Trigno
TM
EMG System
Maintenance and Care
Trigno sensors are encased in a sealed polycarbonate enclosure.
The following points should be kept in mind when handling the
sensors.
•
All sensors should be visually inspected before each use to en-
sure that no mechanical deterioration has occurred.
•
The sensors can be cleaned with 70% isopropyl alcohol swabs.
Ensure that the sensor contacts remain clean at all times for
proper operation.
•
The sensors are not waterproof and should not be submerged
in any liquids under any circumstance. The ingress of liquids
may compromise the safety features of the device. These devic-
es are not intended for use under high-sweat conditions, where
the accumulation or the entrapment of sweat can expose the
sensor to sustained levels of dampness.
•
The sensor contacts are made of pure silver and are quite soft.
Care should be taken to preserve the integrity of these con-
tacts. Do not scrape or dent these contacts.
•
Handle the sensors with care: do not drop them on the ground
or step on them.
•
The cable connecting the MiniHead sensing element to the
sensor body is designed to be supple and unobtrusive while
being worn. Take care to never pull device by the cable, or
excessively stress this cable as this may result in cable damage.
Inspect the device prior to each use to ensure that not deterio-
ration has occurred.
•
Battery duration is a function of battery age and charge/dis-
charge conditions. Optimal battery performance is obtained
when the device is operated at room temperature. Excessive
heating (above 40 deg. C) or excessive cooling (below 5 deg.
C) may damage the internal battery. Contact Delsys Techni-
cal support if the device is exposed to temperatures outside of
these limits.
•
The device battery capacity is typically expected to decrease to
80% of it’s original capacity after 300 charge/discharge cycles.
