Vectra Genisys® Therapy System
SAFETY PrECAuTiONS
3
Read, understand, and practice the precautionary and operating
•
instructions . Know the limitations and hazards associated with
using any electrical stimulation or ultrasound device . Observe the
precautionary and operational decals placed on the unit .
DO NOT operate this unit in an environment where other devices
•
are being used that intentionally radiate electromagnetic energy in
an unshielded manner .
Ultrasound should be routinely checked before each use to
•
determine that all controls function normally, especially that
the intensity control does properly adjust the intensity of the
ultrasonic power output in a stable manner . Also, determine that
the treatment time control does actually terminate ultrasonic power
output when the timer reaches zero .
DO NOT use sharp objects such as a pencil point or ballpoint pen to
•
operate the buttons on the control panel .
This unit should be operated, transported and stored in
•
temperatures between 59° F and 104° F (15° C and 40° C), with
Relative Humidity ranging from 30%-60% .
Handle Ultrasound Applicator with care . Inappropriate handling of
•
the Ultrasound Applicator may adversely affect its characteristics .
Before each use, inspect Ultrasound Applicator for cracks, which
•
may allow the ingress of conductive fluid .
Inspect Applicator cables and associated connectors before
•
each use .
The Vectra Genisys Therapy System is not designed to prevent the
•
ingress of water or liquids . Ingress of water or liquids could cause
malfunction of internal components of the system and therefore
create a risk of injury to the patient .
This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency
•
energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the
instructions, may cause harmful interference to other devices in
the vicinity . However, there is no guarantee that interference will
not occur in a particular installation . Harmful interference to other
devices can be determined by turning this equipment on and off .
Try to correct the interference using one or more of the following:
reorient or relocate the receiving device, increase the separation
between the equipment, connect the equipment to an outlet on a
different circuit from that to which the other device(s) are connected
and consult the factory field service technician for help .
Nylatex® Wraps contain dry natural rubber and may cause allergic
•
reactions in patients with allergies to latex .
Use of parts or materials other than Chattanooga's can degrade
•
minimum safety .
