2.2.4 General safety instructions
The application and operation of the system and also the evaluation of the measuring
data and their interpretation may only be carried out by trained qualified personnel. The
manufacturer assumes no liability for any injury to persons, damage to property, or loss
of data due to improper use of the software, the device or its component parts.
The patients’ data and measuring data may only be copied, moved, or deleted using the
data-base function provided by the zebris application programs. In the case of data be-
ing changed intentionally without using the database functions, the user alone bears the
full risks involved.
Measurement and analysis results should always be interpreted in the light of the clini-
cal history of the patient and in the context of other diagnostic tests by a trained person
proven and tested for their relevance.
Should any measures for treatment be taken on the basis of the measuring results, the
measuring system may only be implemented as a supplementary means for evaluation
by an expert. On no account can, or may invasive measures, or measures endangering
the patient be carried out solely on the basis of the measuring results without further
verification of the measuring data by additional methods.
Should there be any detectable damage to the device or component parts, they should
be returned to the manufacturer for a safety check. It is not permissible to continue us-
ing the device or its component parts, as severe damage and serious injuries - even le-
thal injuries - may result. The manufacturer or authorized sales partner must always be
contacted in all cases of fault or doubt.
If any fluids should penetrate the device, it is mandatory for the device to undergo a
technical, safety test. Damaged plug connections and leads are to be replaced by an
authorized service technician. The device must be put out of operation immediately,
marked as "Not working“ and prevented from being used by removing the mains cable.
Please refere to an authorized technician immediately.
The measuring system must be checked for a proper measuring function on a regular
basis. Please find more detailed information in chapter 7 of this user manual.
Be sure that all the mains and connection cables are laid safely and that they are pro-
tected against stepping on, so that nobody can trip over them. Check all the cables and
the connection plug regularly for any damage. Damaged power Supplys and cables
have to be replaced before further operation
Never insert any objects in the components of the measuring system.
A highly precise speedometer is integrated within the FDM-T System. This
device contains a laser of Class 2 (
ג
=650nm, P>1mW). It is strictly forbid-
den to remove all covers of the treadmill which are marked with the sym-
bol shown left as long as the measuring platform is connected to mains
supply (as long as the external power supply unit of the platform is
plugged to mains supply). Caution: If other procedures than those de-
scribed within this user manual are conducted, dangerous laser radiation
can be released. Direct eye contact with the laser beam may lead to seri-
ous injuries of the eye.
