Safety Warnings 

1.4.1

 

Personal Injury Risks 

 

WARNING:

  

Drop hazard.

 Maintain a solid grip on the GeoScan handheld scanner while scanning 

the subject. 

Cable entanglement hazard.

 Ensure that all cables are managed such that neither 

you nor your subject can be entangled in them.  

Maintain subject isolation within the subject environment.

  

The power supply must be located outside of the subject environment under all 
operating conditions. 

Never simultaneously touch the subject and any component outside of the subject 
area and never let subjects touch any component, other than the GSN that is being 
worn, inside or outside of the subject area. 

For EGI systems, the 

nonsubject environment

 is the area where non-safe items are 

out of the subject’s reach (1.8 m [6 ft]).
