SYNCHRONY™ and OMNIsEMG™ Introduction

Synchrony™ incorporates a virtual reality augmented biofeedback rehabilitation unit called the OMNIsEMG™
(sEMG) which has been specifically designed to accommodate patients with difficulty swallowing as a result of oral
or pharyngeal muscle dysfunction. Synchrony™ provides real time swallowing data and interactive exercise
activities that are displayed on a color monitor using specialized computer software. Research supports the use of
virtual reality augmented sEMG biofeedback in conjunction with traditional Speech and Language Pathologist
(SLP) therapy techniques. Specifically, patients appear to benefit from what is referred to as the “virtuous cycle”,
where patients perform more exercise repetitions when they are motivated by the positive feedback provided in an
interactive “virtual reality” based environment.

Delivery of Synchrony™ and OMNIsEMG™

Upon receipt of Synchrony™, inspect the shipping container and contents for any obvious or concealed damage. All
ACP products are packaged carefully for rapid, safe delivery. We guarantee delivery in perfect condition to the
postal or delivery services. However, any damage or loss incurred during transportation or delivery is the postal or
Delivery Company’s responsibility. If damage or loss to the product and/or container is obvious or suspected,
appropriate notation must be made on the signed freight bill at the time of delivery. All damage claims should be
promptly filed with the delivering carrier and must be initiated by the addressee where the package was to be
delivered. Retain the original shipping container and inserts for validation of damage claim or use at a later date.
Please contact your ACP Clinical Program Consultant or call ACP Customer Service at 800-350-1100 to report any
damage.

As part of the installation process, an ACP Clinical Program Consultant or other ACP Representative will be onsite
to unpack and install your new Synchrony™. They will verify that all equipment and accessories are present and
working properly. A list of enclosed accessories is provided with each unit to assist you in identification of the type
and number of accessories provided.
