Myo 200

1 SAFETY

1.1Purpose

The Myo 200 is intended solely for medical applications. You can use the Myo 200 for electrotherapy and re-education. For re-education the feedback signal is measured, if chosen in combination with an electrotherapy stimulation. The device is suited for continuous use.

1.2Safety instructions

1.2.1General

Only qualified people who are trained in the application of the therapies may use the appliance.

Only a technician authorised by GymnaUniphy N.V. may open the equipment or the accessories.

Follow the instructions and directions in these user instructions.

Place the device on a horizontal and stable base.

Keep the ventilation openings at the bottom and rear of the equipment free.

Do not place any objects on the equipment.

Do not place the equipment in the sun or above a heat source.

Do not use the equipment in a damp area.

Do not let any liquid flow into the equipment.

Do not disinfect or sterilise the equipment. Clean the equipment with a dry or moistened cloth. See §5.

Only treat patients with electrical implants (pacemaker) after obtaining medical advice.

The 'Directive on Medical Devices' from the European Commission (93/42/EEG) requires that safe devices are used. It is recommended to perform a yearly technical safety inspection. See §5.1.1.

For optimum treatment, a patient investigation must first be performed. On the basis of the findings of the investigation, a treatment plan with objectives will be formulated. Follow the treatment plan during the therapy. This will limit possible risks, related to the treatment, to a minimum.

Always keep these user instructions with the equipment.

7

Myo 200

1.2.2Electrical safety

Only use the equipment in an area with facilities that meet the applicable legal regulations.

Connect the equipment to an outlet with a protective earth terminal. The outlet must meet the locally applicable requirements for medical areas.

1.2.3Prevention of explosion

Do not use the equipment in an area where combustible gases or vapours are present.

Switch off the equipment when it is not used.

1.2.4Electro Magnetic Compatibility

Medical electrical equipment requires special precautions for Electro Magnetic Compatibility (EMC). Follow the instructions

for the installation of the equipment. See §2.

Do not use mobile telephones or other radio, shortwave, or microwave equipment in the vicinity of the equipment. This kind of equipment can cause disturbances.

Because the Myo200 is intended to measure extreme small potentials, its immunity level for electromagnetic radiation is lower then 3V/m. See §8.3.1 for detailed information.

Only use the accompanying accessories that are supplied by GymnaUniphy. See §7.6 and §7.7.

Other accessories can lead to an increased emission or a reduced immunity.

8

Myo 200

1.2.5Electrotherapy

Do not use the equipment simultaneously with high frequency surgical equipment. This combination can cause burning of

the skin under the electrodes.

Do not use adhesive electrodes with currents that have a galvanic component, such as galvanic, diadynamic, MF rectangular, pulsed rectangular and triangular currents. With these currents, etching of the skin can occur.

Application of electrodes near the thorax may increase the risk of cardiac fibrillation.

Check the electrode cables, the electrodes and the probes at least once a month. Check whether the insulation is still intact. See §5.1.

The safety standards for electrical stimulation advise not to exceed the current density of 2.0 mArms/cm2.

However, with iontophoresis treatments, we advise a maximum current density of 0.25 mÂ/cm2, because of using the MF rectangular current. Exceeding this value can result in skin irritation and burns.

Always use sterilised gauze with iontophoresis treatments.

1.3Medical Devices Directive

The device complies with the essential requirements of the Medical Device Directive of the European Committee (93/42/EEC) as most recently changed.

The device contains no human or animal tissue, no medical substances, and no blood or blood products from human or animal origin.

1.4Liability

The manufacturer cannot be held liable for injury to the therapist, the patient or third parties, or for damage to or by the equipment used, if for example:

an incorrect diagnosis is made;

the equipment or the accessories are used incorrectly;

the user instructions are wrongly interpreted or ignored;

the equipment is badly maintained;

maintenance or repairs are performed by people or organisations that are not authorised to do so by GymnaUniphy.

Neither the manufacturer nor the local GymnaUniphy dealer can be held liable, in any way whatsoever, for the transfer of infections via the vaginal, anal and rectal probes and/or other accessories.

4.2.2Set parameters

1.Select the desired parameters with after the therapy is selected. See §4.1. You can only change the outlined parameters. In the reeducation display the small outlined parameters disappear during treatment after a while to keep the overview on the screen. Press a random first to see the parameters.

2.Change the value of the parameter with and . The setting range of the parameter is shown at the bottom of the screen. You can change the parameter as long as the parameter has a black background.

4.2.3Temporary interruption of treatment

1.If the other channel has to pause: Select this channel with A B .

2.Press during the treatment. The treatment time of the selected channel is stopped. Pause appears on the screen. The parameter settings are retained.

3.Press on again to restart the treatment. The intensity now increases gradually to the set level and the treatment time continues again.

4.2.4Immediately stop treatment

1.Press . All active treatments are stopped immediately. Stop appears on the screen. The parameter settings are retained.

2.Set the intensity of the channel again to continue the treatment.

4.3Electrotherapy

4.3.1Performing electrotherapy with electrodes

1.Select the desired electrotherapy program. See §4.1.

2.Place the electrodes. See page 28: Placing rubber electrodes and page 28: Placing adhesive electrodes. With some treatments, the Electrode placing parameter refers to the number in the placing diagrams.

3.Rotate intensity knob A or B to start the electrotherapy and to set the desired intensity. See §4.1.2.

4.Check the patient's reaction. Repeat this check regularly during the treatment.

5.The equipment stops the treatment and indicates that the treatment is completed. Remove the electrodes.

Placing adhesive electrodes

Do not use adhesive electrodes with currents that have a galvanic component, such as galvanic, diadynamic, MF rectangular, pulsed rectangular and triangular currents. These currents can cause skin etching.

1.If possible, disinfect the parts of

the body where the adhesive electrodes are to be placed.

2. Place the electrodes on the part of the body that must be treated.

3. Connect the connectors of the adhesive electrodes to the two-ply EMG electrode cable (black and red connector).

4. Connect the two-ply EMG electrode cable to connector A or B of the Myo 200.

Placing rubber electrodes

1.Moisten two EL sponges. Use

water with a saline solution to improve the conductivity of the EL sponges.

2. Slide a rubber electrode into each sponge.

3.Place the sponges on the part of

the body that must be treated. 4. Fasten the sponges to the part of

the body with the elastic fixation straps.

5.Connect the red connector of the rubber electrode to the red connector of the two-ply (EMG) electrode cable (4 mm).

6.Connect the black connector of the rubber electrode to the black connector of the two-ply (EMG) electrode cable (4 mm).

7.Connect the two-ply (EMG) electrode cable to connector A or B of the Myo 200.

4.3.2Performing electrotherapy with a probe

Considering the hygiene and the very personal and intimate character of these treatments, a probe may only be used for

one patient.

Never disinfect the probes in an autoclave. The probes can be damaged by the extreme temperature.

1.Clean the probe carefully with soap and water. See §5.2.4.

2.Select the desired electrotherapy program.

3.Make sure the intensity is zero.

4.Place the probe. See page 29: Placing a vaginal or an anal probe and page 30: Placing a rectal probe.

5.Rotate intensity knob A or B to start the treatment and to set the desired intensity.

6.Check the patient's reaction. Repeat this check regularly during the treatment.

7.The equipment stops the treatment and indicates that the treatment is completed.

8.Make sure the intensity is zero.

9.Remove the probe.

10.Clean the probe. See §5.2.4.

Placing a vaginal or an anal probe

1.Connect the probe to the two-ply

EMG-incontinence electrode cable (white connectors).

2. Connect the two-ply EMGincontinence electrode cable to connector A or B of the Myo 200. The probe is immediately

detected by the equipment. To prevent unpleasant stimulations,

you can only set alternating currents with a Constant Voltage

(CV) setting, such as TENS, NMES, and 2-pole interferential currents.

3.Apply, if necessary, an antiseptic lubricant to the probe.

4.Place the probe.
