Auditory Stimulation
Use of improper auditory transducer or setting high stimulation levels could cause excess stimulation and
hearing damage.
Use of high level or prolonged sound pressure levels may cause permanent hearing loss.
Pacemakers and Defibrillation
Using electrical stimulation on a patient with a cardiac pacemaker or implanted defibrillator may disrupt the
proper functioning of these devices leading to patient injury.
•
Use caution when stimulating upper extremities near a pacemaker or implanted defibrillator.
•
Electrical stimulation is not recommended on a patient with external wires terminating in or near the heart.
This system is not protected against defibrillation. Remove the patient connections to the system prior to
defibrillation. If defibrillation is applied to the patient while still connected to this system, you may damage the
system. Always test system operation and leakage current after defibrillating your patient.
Emissions, EMC, EMI
ESD discharges to the equipment could lead to patient harm.
Use of accessories, transducers and cables other than those specified or provided by the manufacturer of this
equipment could result in increased electromagnetic emissions or decreased electromagnetic immunity of this
equipment and result in improper operation.
Use of this equipment adjacent to or stacked with other equipment should be avoided because it could result in
improper operation. If such use is necessary, this equipment and the other equipment should be observed to
verify that they are operating normally.
EMI by nature can be a possible source of disturbance to electronic equipment. This device should be used in an
environment free* of other equipment that could be affected by interference
Be careful using the equipment in locations disturbed by strong magnetic fields. The equipment is compliant
with the EMC requirements (Electromagnetic Compatibility) according to what is specified by the IEC / EN
60601-1-2 standard. It is recommended that the equipment be kept away from disturbance sources and induced
electromagnetic fields surpassing the values prescribed by the standard in order to avoid any possible
instabilities and malfunctioning of the equipment.
Amplifier Arm
Take care when removing the amplifier arm tie wrap. The amplifier arm is spring-loaded and may snap open
possibly causing injury.
When using the amplifier arm, take care not to swing it into the monitor screen. The screen is fragile and may
break.
