2.2 Technical safety
Before using the device for the first time, check it for any transportation damage. Before connecting and starting
up the SwayStar™ it is imperative to read the manual in order to avoid faulty installation. Please carry out the
instructions carefully to be able to use SwayStar™ without any problems.
Please notice, that the device has an active power source (lithium-ion-battery). To recharge the battery, use the
cables provided with the device.
Do not open the device or one of its components!
When you have a problem with the device or one of its components, please contact your supplier or technical
contact person.
As a power source (in Europe) you should use a properly installed power socket (220 / 230 Volt, 50 Hz). The
power cord is only to be removed from the power socket by grasping and pulling out the plug. Do not touch the
plug with wet hands. Do not loop or bend the power cord or connecting cable around sharp edges. In general;
protect the connecting cable and power cord against any mechanical damage. Lay the cables from the device
avoiding the risk of compressing the cables and do not place anything on the power cord.
Following DIN EN 60601-1-2 you should notice that for the SwayStar™ device special precautions
should be taken conceerning electromagnetic (EM) exposure. The device was tested according to
EM-guidelines and is safe for use under normal circumstances. Portable and mobile HF-equipment
can influence the function of the device, but not its safety.

2.3 Instructions for use
General instruction: Handle your device with care! Always store the device properly in the suitcase and hold it
safely in your hands when manipulating it. This will prevent the device from being dropped and therefore damage
to the device. Always check the attachment of the device to the belt, to prevent unintended detachment or
dropping of the device from the belt.
Only use the accessories (Bluetooth® Adaptor, power supply, power cord etc.) that were provided to
you with the SwayStar™ device. You cannot perform a measurement while the device is connected
with the power cord. The device recognizes connection to the power cord and will only allow
measurements when the battery has been charged (notice chapter 8 „Charging the battery“!). You
can check the power-status by looking at the control-LED (see chapter 9 „Lower LED (control-LED)“).
The device should be shut down after use, by switching it off at the main switch (see left), because
the device remains active when turned on until the battery is empty. Please check the control-LED
(see chapter 9) and the position of the switch, so that you do not have to recharge the battery
between measurements; this will save you time.
The device should not be exposed to temperatures under +20°C and over +40°C during
measurements but also when the device is stored. In lower or higher temperatures, safe use of the
device is not possible; moreover it can influence the measurement results.
The SwayStar™ device is not protected against water sprays. To guarantee that it functions safely, it
should not be used in bath or simming rooms, nor should it be exposed to high humidity. Optimal use
is warranted in dry rooms. The device should not be used outside and should be kept (especially
when operating) far from water sources, e.g. bassins or filled waterbuckets.
The use of the device with patients is only allowed by specialized medical staff. During
measurements, an assistant should be present to help the patients with the tasks and prevent falling
in case of balance loss. This warrants a safe use of SwayStar™ .
The SwayStar™ system (device and accessories) should only be transported and stored in the
suitcase that is delivered with the device. The suitcase has been specially developed, so that the
system and its accessories can be stored in a safe manner.

4 Description of SwayStar™
4.1 The System
SwayStar™ is an easy to use and precise measuring system of body movements during standing and gait, or
during other movements. It is designed for use with patients that have balance or orthopaedic problems, which
could be caused especially by ageing, neurological deficits, whiplash injuries or hip joint problems.
SwayStar™ consists of a measuring device, which is held in place on the upper part of the patient’s back with
the help of a belt. Its very sensitive sensors measure angle and angular velocity of the trunk. The connection to
the PC, in which the movements of the patients are recorded, is established using a wireless radio communication
(Bluetooth®). By means of a proprietary SwayStar™ software program, the different variables are processed,
recorded and calculated. The level of accuracy is extremely high (<0,01 °/s).
4.2 Applications
The device and its software can be used for the following purposes:
Clinical examinations of balance and other motor dysfunctions
Checking the progress of a treatment or a surgical operation
Scientific studies on standing and walking capacities in humans
Use for other applications should be communicated in written form to etp and BII.
