Turning the Provizio SEM Scanner ON
The Provizio SEM Scanner should be cleaned and disinfected properly according to the
instructions provided in this document after it is used on a patient to prevent the spread
of infection.
Use a new, unopened single-use sensor per patient, per session to prevent cross-
contamination of patients. Multiple anatomic locations may be scanned using the same
sensor in one session. Make sure, however, that a new sensor is used for each new
session. A session is defined as scanning the sacrum, left heel and the right heel for the
same patient.
Do not attempt to clean or disinfect a contaminated single-use sensor.
Follow the steps below to start a session with either version of the Provizio SEM Scanner:
1.
Do not touch the sensor area (Figure 9) of the scanner during start up as the scanner is
performing a self-calibration and touching the sensor could invalidate the results. There
is no danger of electric shock or damage to the scanner. Restart the scanner by turning it
off and on again if the sensor has been touched during start up.
