Vectra® Neo Clinical Therapy System
• The Vectra® Neo Clinical Therapy System may be susceptible to Electro-
Static Discharge (ESD) at greater than ±4 kV when first grasping either
the Ultrasound or Laser Applicator. In the event of such a discharge,
the Vectra® Neo Clinical Therapy System may experience
communication loss with the installed modules. The Vectra® Neo
Clinical Therapy System will terminate all active outputs (stim,
ultrasound, laser), automatically place the unit in a safe state, and
issue an error message 301 or 307.
- To recover from an error message 301 or 307, turn the unit off and
on using the ON/OFF switch located at the top of the display. Once
the system restarts, re-initiate all treatments that were
interrupted.
• To prevent Electro-Static Discharge (ESD) at greater than ±4 kV:
- Grasp and hold the Ultrasound or Laser Applicator prior to starting
treatment. If the applicator must be put down prior to completion
of treatment, stop the current treatment first and then place the
applicator in the holder.
- Maintain humidity in the use environment to at least 50% relative
humidity.
- Floors should be wood, concrete, or ceramic tile. If floors are
covered with synthetic material, DJO recommends implementing
additional controls to maintain relative humidity to at least 50%.
- Communicate these ESD-precautionary procedures to healthcare
staff, contractors, visitors, and patients.
• Long term effects of chronic electrical stimulation are unknown.
• Stimulation should not be applied over the anterior neck or mouth.
Severe spasm of the laryngeal and pharyngeal muscles may occur and
the contractions may be strong enough to close the airway or cause
difficulty in breathing.
• Stimulation should not be applied transthoracically in that the
introduction of electrical current into the heart may cause cardiac
arrhythmia.
• Stimulation should not be applied over swollen, infected, and
inflamed areas or skin eruptions, e.g., phlebitis, thrombophlebitis,
varicose veins, etc.
• Stimulation should not be applied over, or in proximity
to, cancerous lesions.
• Electrotherapy output current density is related to electrode size.
Improper application may result in patient injury. If any question
arises as to the proper electrode size, consult a licensed practitioner
prior to therapy session.
• The Vectra® Neo Clinical Therapy System optional modules and
associated accessories are designed for use only with the Vectra® Neo
Clinical Therapy System.
• Remove the Ultrasound or Laser Applicator by pulling the cable
connector only. DO NOT remove by pulling the cable.
• Output current density is related to electrode size. Improper
application may result in patient injury. If any question arises as to the
proper electrode size, consult a licensed practitioner prior to therapy
session.
• Do not apply the Ultrasound Applicator to the patient during the Head
Warming period. Applicator must remain in Applicator Hook during the
Head Warming period.
• Some patients are more sensitive to Laser output (i.e., patients taking
medications that increase sensitivity to light) and may experience a
reaction similar to a heat rash.
• Before each Laser use, clean the plastic lens with a clean cloth. Make
certain to apply with a clean cloth. Failure to clean the lens between
patient therapy sessions could cause beam fragmentation, which may
reduce the effectiveness of the treatment.
• Medical electrical equipment needs special precautions regarding EMC.
Portable and mobile RF communication equipment can be affected by
other medical electrical devices. If you believe interference is
occurring, please consult the ELECTROMAGNETIC COMPATIBILITY (EMC)
section on page 73, to assist in removing the interference.
• Common RF emitting devices (e.g., RFID) and electromagnetic security
systems (e.g., metal detectors) may interfere with the operation of the
Vectra® Neo Clinical Therapy System. The Vectra® Neo Clinical Therapy
System has been tested in the presence of these types of devices and
while no adverse event occurred, the device should not be operated
within the vicinity or environment as another RF emitting device.
