Page: 64 / 86

Note 16:
The use of accessories and cables other than those specified in the Accessories list of this manual may result in increased
emissions or decreased immunity of the Chartr EP 200. The isolation station should not be placed on the floor.
Isolation Transformer (Powertronix Isolation Station)
Note 17:
The isolation station should not be placed on the floor.
Note 18:
The isolation station should be plugged directly into an outlet. Extension cords or power strips should not be used in com-
bination with the isolation station.
Note 19:
Only the ICS Chartr EP 200 (USB) power supply, laptop/computer power supply, and deskjet printer power supply should be
connected to the isolation station. Do not connect any other devices to the isolation station. Connecting other equipment
to the isolation station can overdrive the isolation station resulting in a blown fuse or damaging the isolation station bey-
ond repair.
Note 20:
Do not connect the ICS Chartr EP 200 (USB) system directly to the wall outlet. By not using the isolation station, you put
the patient at risk to be exposed to power surges or electrical shock.
Patient Care
Note 21:
Do not touch non-medical parts, such as the laptop/computer or printer and the patient at the same time.
Note 22:
Do not touch the output DC plug of the power supply, or any device connectors on Chartr EP 200 and the patient at the
same time.
Note 23:
Do not allow electrodes or electrode leads to contact conductive parts of the equipment or the earth.
Note 24:
While the patient who has a pacemaker or other implantable device is not at harm during testing, these devices may inter-
fere with the process of recording correct measurements.
Note 25:
Exposure to electromagnetic fields can result in interference with the process of recording correct measurements. The ICS
Chartr EP 200 amplifiers are sensitive to electrical disturbances. Avoid static discharges and electromagnetic fields.
Note 26:
Conductive parts with patient connection must not be in contact with other conductive parts at any time. No defibrillators
or high-frequency surgical equipment should be applied to the patient when connected to the Chartr EP 200 at any time.
Connecting a patient to high-frequency surgical equipment while using the Chartr EP 200 may result in burns at the site of
the electrode contacts.
Note 27:
Immediately discontinue device use if skin irritation or discomfort occurs.
