5.5 Computer Virus Protection
Each computer purchased from LABORIE is verified to be virus-free prior to shipment and is
installed with an antivirus program. It is the customer’s responsibility to correctly use and
maintain the antivirus program. Customers may use an alternative antivirus program at
their own risk. LABORIE
does not
certify alternative antivirus programs for use with the
NXT System. LABORIE is not responsible for any virus-related computer problems after
delivery of the computer to the customer.
5.6 Disposing of Product After Use
The NXT System equipment and disposables should be disposed of in the following manner:
•
Contaminated single-use disposables: Discard these products according to the
standard operating procedures on medical waste handling at the institution of
use.
•
Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE): Ensure any waste electrical
and electronic equipment is collected separately and returned to the locally
designated recycling service for these types of products.
•
Batteries: Dispose of any end-of-life batteries according to local regulations.
•
Packaging waste: Ensure any packaging waste is collected separately for
available national packaging collection and recycling services. Packaging is 80%
recyclable/renewable by weight.
5.7 Environmental Consideration of Waste
Disposal
The NXT System is designed to perform Urodynamics. LABORIE recommends disposing of
waste generated from these studies, such as urine, properly to prevent environmental
pollution. The waste should be disposed of in such a way that it will not pollute the fresh
water supply system, especially the drinking water system. In areas that have sewage
systems with water treatment procedures, the most convenient means of disposal is to use
these sewage systems.
5.8 Backups
Synergy software automatically backs up data to its database at regular intervals. The user
can also archive patient data to an external hard drive. For information on archiving patient
data, refer to the
