The ActiGait® is radio controlled and may be disturbed by interfering devices;
consequently, the effectiveness of the ActiGait® can be disturbed. In this situa
-
tion you should move away from the source of the disturbance or turn off your
ActiGait®.
• The external parts of the ActiGait® must be turned off on airplanes during a
flight, as the radio transmission may interfere with other devices. Because the
Heel Switch cannot be turned off it should be taken off and removed from the
body during the flight to avoid activation of the switch.
•
The ActiGait® may only be used at an atmospheric pressure between 700 hPa to
1060 hPa.
•
Magnetic cards, such as bank or credit cards, should not be kept near the Control
Unit, the Antenna plug, the Charger Cable, the Clinical Interface, the Body Clip,
Belt Clip and Belt Loop at any time, as these devices contain magnets that may
demagnetize a magnetic card.
•
Magnetic cards, such as bank or credit cards, should not be kept near the Anten-
na while the ActiGait® is in use, as the card may become demagnetized.
•
Wireless communication equipment such as wireless home network devices, mo-
bile phones, DECT telephones and their base stations, Bluetooth devices etc. may
disturb the ActiGait® during its use. These devices should be kept at a distance
from the ActiGait® according to the table below.
•
The Control Unit should be removed from the patient’s body while charging the
Control Unit or when the Control Unit is connected to a PC with the Clinical Inter-
face to eliminate the risk of the patient being exposed to electrical shock.
• The ActiGait® should never be connected to other cables, e.g. extension cables,
than the ones supplied with the ActiGait®. If another cable is used and this cable
is defect there will be a risk of electrical shock or overheating of the equipment.
•
Only the ActiGait® Charger and ActiGait® Charger Cable should be used for charg-
ing the ActiGait®. Further, the ActiGait® Charger and ActiGait® Charger Cable
should not be used for charging other equipment than the ActiGait®. In such a
case, the manufacturer will not be liable for any damages.
