EXPLANATION OF THE SYMBOLS
The symbols which may be displayed on the ToFscan screen are recapitulated and explained at the
end of this section.
Any serious incident occurring in relation to the device must be notified to the manufacturer and the
competent authority of the Member State in which the user and/or patient is established.
Warning
Risk of explosion: do not use the ToFscan in a flammable environment or in places where
flammable anaesthetic products are accumulated.
The ToFscan is not designed to operate in an environment where there are SCANNERS, M.R.I.’s
or any other device creating large magnetic fields. The same applies for short-wave or
medium-wave treatment devices.
The electrode cables, electrodes and connections must not come into contact with any other
item, conductive or otherwise.
In order to reduce the risk of burns when using high-frequency surgical devices, do not place
the ToFscan stimulation electrodes between the surgical site and the electrode leading back to
the electrosurgical unit.
Simultaneously connecting a patient to a high-frequency surgical device may cause burns at
the contact points of the ToFscan electrodes and cause damage to the device.
Never use the ToFscan at the same time that defibrillation devices are being used.
Like all neuromuscular transmission monitor, the ToFscan must be connected to electrical
stimulation electrodes capable of supporting up to 300 volts with 60 mA current. The contact
surface of the electrodes must be greater than 1.8cm² (0,28in²).
