•
Avoid
physical impact or extreme direct pressure to the
eye. This could cause injury to your eye, movement of
the implant in your eye, or damage to the implant. If this
occurs, contact your physician.
•
Avoid
rubbing your implanted eye. This may dislodge
the implant or cause eye irritation.
•
Do not
rely on the Argus 2s system as your only aid
when walking. The Argus 2s system will not provide you
with enough vision to walk safely without any other aids.
Even though you have the Argus II Implant, continue to
use your other mobility aids (for example, canes, dogs)
at all times.
•
Do not
use the Argus 2s system during pregnancy or
when nursing a baby. Second Sight has not evaluated
the use of the Argus 2s system by women who are
pregnant or who are nursing a child.
•
Keep the device away
from children, pets or pests.
Electromagnetic Interference (EMI)
Electromagnetic interference is a field of energy (electrical,
magnetic, or both) created by equipment found in public
environments that may be strong enough to interfere with the
normal operation of your Argus 2s system.
The Argus 2s system meets international standards for
electromagnetic compatibility (See Chapter 8, page 107, for
more information). The Argus 2s system continues to
operate in a “safe mode” in the presence of any
electromagnetic interference that you would come across
during your normal everyday activity.
