Environment
Dopplex Ability is suitable for use in hospital, primary care and community
settings. It must not be used outdoors, or in any environment where it may
come into contact with water.
A couch, or similar level support surface is required for the patient to lie on, and
the main unit requires a table or similar for support. Alternatively, a roll stand is
available as an accessory, part number ACC-VAS-013.
WARNING: It is important for safety that the use environment is
well-lit to reduce the risk of persons tripping over the cables and
tubes. Use is not recommended in areas that are used as access
walkways.
Use in strong sunlight should be avoided as display visibility is greatly reduced.
The patient support surface must be wide enough for the patient to be able to
allow their arms to lie comfortably at their sides. The patient’s arms must be
completely relaxed during the test and not pulled tight against the body. The
couch should be separated from adjacent walls etc. as pressure on the arms or
cuffs must be avoided. The patients heels must be supported on the couch and
not be allowed to overhang the end.
The test environment should be reasonably quiet, as excessive ambient noise
may prevent the patient from relaxing; an important test requirement.
