Vectra® Neo Clinical Therapy System

GENERAL WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS

WARNING

• The Vectra® Neo Clinical Therapy System may be susceptible to ElectroStatic 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.

WARNING

• 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.

• 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.

GENERAL WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS

DANGER

• Stimulus delivered by the TENS waveforms of this device, in certain configurations, will deliver a charge of 25 microcoulombs (μC) or greater per pulse and may be sufficient to cause electrocution. Electrical current of this magnitude must not flow through the thorax because it may cause a cardiac arrhythmia.

• Patients with an implanted neurostimulation device must not be treated with or be in close proximity to any shortwave diathermy, therapeutic ultrasound diathermy, or laser diathermy anywhere on their body. Energy from diathermy (shortwave, microwave, ultrasound, and laser) can be transferred through the implanted neurostimulation system, can cause tissue damage, and can result in severe injury or death. Injury, damage, or death can occur during diathermy therapy even if the implanted neurostimulation system is turned off.

• Handle, clean, and dispose of components and accessories that have come in contact with bodily fluids according to National, Local, and Facility rules, regulations, and procedures.

Vectra® Neo Clinical Therapy System

• This unit is considered to be a Class 3B Laser product and thus emits visible and invisible Laser radiation (IR). Avoid direct eye exposure to the Laser beam. The symbol to the left is located on the back of the applicator and indicates the active radiant surface (the area on the applicator that emits infrared Laser energy and the direction of the beam of light). When the unit is on, not all wavelengths are visible to the naked eye. Therefore, when performing any operational or functional check, always wear Chattanooga laser protective eyewear.

• The solvents of adhesives and flammable solutions used for cleaning and disinfecting should be allowed to evaporate before the unit is used.

• DO NOT connect the unit to an electrical supply without first verifying that the power supply is the correct voltage. Incorrect voltage may cause unit damage, malfunction, electrical shock, fire, or personal injury. Your unit was constructed to operate only on the electrical voltage specified on the Voltage Rating and Serial Number Plate. Contact your DJO dealer if the unit is not properly rated.

• Laser protective eyewear should be worn during laser treatment by the operator and patient to block infrared light energy from the eyes during treatment.

• DO NOT point the Laser beam directly into human or animal eyes. The lens of the eye does not detect the invisible, coherent Laser beams, potentially resulting in permanent retinal damage.

• Device is not designed to be used in oxygen rich environment. Explosion hazard if the device is used in the presence of flammable anesthetic mixture with air, oxygen, or nitrous oxide.
