This User Guide introduces you to QTUG (Quantitative Timed Up and Go), and helps you quickly learn how to perform

a mobility assement or a falls risk assessment on a patient. For detailed information about the QTUG application, refer

to the application help-files, which you access through the QTUG Help Menu. The User Guide also contains useful

information about configuring QTUG, transferring data files from the tablet to a PC or microSD card for organizing your

QTUG patient files, and using all of the QTUG features.

Intended Use

QTUG is intended to measure gait and mobility parameters for automated, quantitative gait and mobility assessment

via a Timed Up and Go test, using body-worn inertial sensors.

Indications for Use

QTUG is indicated for use with patients who would benefit from assessment of mobility and falls risk.

Thank you for purchasing QTUG

Please read this user guide throroughly before using QTUG. This guide includes important safety information.

Please keep the user guide for future reference.

Read these safety messages carefully.

This device contains an RF transmitter. It is also an intentional RF receiver and even if other equipment complies with

CISPR emissions requirements, those devices may interfere with the operation of this device.

Radio Information Transmit Characteristics: 2.4GHz Bluetooth radio using GFSK, DQPSK, and 8DPSK modulation and

75kHz bandwidth. Frequency Range in MHz: 2400-2483.5. Output Power in dBm: 5-6.

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the EMC limits for the Medical Device Directive 93/42/EEC

(EN 55011 Class A and EN 60601-1-2).

These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a typical medical

installation. The equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in

accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to other devices in the vicinity. However, there is no

guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference

with other devices, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to

correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

Important Safety Information

WARNING

The use of portable and mobile radio frequency (RF) equipment may have an impact on this and other pieces of medical equipment.

• Reorient or relocate the receiving device.

• Increase the separation between the equipment.

• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the other device(s) is connected.

• Consult the manufacturer for help.

The use of portable and mobile RF equipment may have an impact on this and other pieces of medical equipment.

The use of accessories, cables, or transducers other than those specified in this manual can significantly increase

emissions performance and degrade immunity performance of the product. Also, by using an accessory, transducer,

or cable with the product, other than those specified in this manual, it becomes the responsibility of the third-party

supplier or the user of the product, to determine compliance with the requirements of IEC 60601-1-2 when using this

item.

CAUTION

It is prudent to separate all electrical equipment that is very close in distance to the QTUG system. If it is essential to use the QTUG

system very close to other electrical equipment, it is prudent to determine, by observation, if the performance of either product is

affected by unintended electromagnetic coupling.

WARNING

It is advised not to use equipment other than the following devices listed by manufacturer (Kinesis QTUG sensors with Bluetooth

radio) stacked on or near the product, but if it is required for your location to stack or use equipment that is adjacent to the product, all

must be verified to work and verification shall occur to ensure the product operates properly before conducting any procedures.

WARNING

No modification of this equipment is allowed.

Glossary

Term Definition

Inertial sensor Wireless sensors including tri-axial accelerometer and tri-axial gyroscope daughter board

Timed Up and Go (TUG) test

Standard mobility assessment commonly used to assess mobility and risk of falls.

Longer completion times are thought to indicate higher risk of falling.
