XLTEK EEG32U Amplifier
User and Service Manual
18
Do not use the EEG32U amplifier in the vicinity of MRI or CT systems.
Do not use the EEG32U amplifier with HF surgical equipment.
Do not allow loose electrodes to contact metal parts.
The
patient event switch
attached to or on the
EEG32U
or other XLTEK device is
not intended for critical patient-safety-related incidents.
Do
NOT
use the XLDetect montage with custom channel labels.
As with all medical equipment, carefully route patient cabling to reduce the possibility
of patient entanglement or strangulation.
Transportation Warnings
Make sure that any platform, table, cart, or other surface used during the operation,
transport, or temporary or permanent storage of the system and its components is
adequate, sturdy, and safe. Natus is not responsible for any injury or damage that
may result from inadequate, poorly constructed, or unapproved transports, carts, or
operating surfaces. Natus is not responsible for any injury or damage that may
result from improper cable storage during transport.
TIPPING HAZARD:
During transport, the user should guide the cart using both
hands, ensuring the wheel base is aligned so that a single caster leads in the
direction of motion. Failure to lead the cart with one wheel could result in a tipping
hazard when ascending or descending steps or thresholds.
Conducted Immunity Warnings
In environments where parasitic electrical noise interferes with the electrical biologic signal,
there is no risk of misinterpretation of EEG waveforms or ancillary data. Any abnormal
pattern or out of range value is confirmed by trained medical professionals performing the
test. In addition to ancillary data, the accompanying EEG (Electroencephalograph)
amplifier’s signals will also be contaminated past the point where any clinical signal
interpretation is possible. Trained electroencephalographers and technologists are well
equipped to identify and disregard signals that are obscured by environmental noise.
