3. PRODUCT INFORMATION AND USE AS PER REG ULATIONS
IntegraMouse Plus is an electronic co mput er dev i c e made using the latest technology. It
complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Details of this can be found in Chapter 17
"Declaration of Conformity".
IntegraMouse Plus is a fully adequate computer mouse that is operated with the mouth. For
the operation of computer games, a joystick mode and a cursor mode are prov i ded. This
allows persons who are no longer able to operate a traditional mouse to use a computer.
Possible users are persons with high-level paraplegia, with arms amputated on both sides or
advanced diseases such as muscular dystrophy, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis or multiple
sclerosis.
IntegraMouse Plus is connected to the computer by a USB cable and is Plug-and-Play
capable, i.e. it is recognized and installed completely automatically as a Human Interface
Device (HID). Power is also supplied via the USB cable. Alternatively the IntegraMouse Plus
can communicate with the computer via a wireless radio link connection in the 2.4 GHz ISM
Band. With this option, the power is supplied from the inbuilt battery or the power pack
included.
IntegraMouse Plus is mainly designed to be used in dry rooms, in stationary settings on a PC
or laptop. These include living rooms, clinics, rehabilitation centres, institutes, schools,
universities and similar. However, usage in dry outside areas i.e. on patios, is also possibl e .
The ambient temperatures during application must be between 50°F and 104°F. Avoid direct
sunlight.
The placing and positioning of the IntegraMouse Plus must not be changed during use (tilt
etc.) Also, the IntegraMouse Plus must not be influenced by external forces (for example,
accelerations).
The mouthpiece can be changed. Cleaning is possible according to Chapter 9 "Hygiene,
maintenance and testing". In clinical areas, the one-time use of the mouthpiece is strongly
recommended. Through this, hygiene and cleanliness are guaranteed, also during use by
several users (for example in public institutions) or during use in clinics and rehabilitations
centres, where the risk of an infection by more resistant germs is present.

4. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
As with every product, there are a few things that must be noted in order to
ensure the safe and smooth operation of the IntegraMouse Plus:
• Use this product only for the intended purpose according to these instructions for use.
Any other use is improper and therefore dangerous. The manufacturer cannot be held
responsible for damages which are caused by inappropriate or improper use.
• Good head control and mouth motor skills are required for the operation of the
IntegraMouse Plus. Therefore the IntegraMouse Plus must not be used by persons
who suffer from e.g. uncontrolled spasms, Tourette's syndrome or epilepsy.
• Only connect the device to sources of power as described in the instructions for use.
Otherwise dangers may occur.
• Do not expose the device to extreme tempera tur es and avoid direct sunlight. This can
cause damage, especiall y to the built-in battery. Do not expose the device to any
shaking (knocking, dropping) and protect it from dirt and damp. However, should the
device be exposed to these conditions, allow your contract partner to examine it in
order to ensure that it is safe and usable.
• If you do not use the device for extended periods of time, switch the device off and
store it according to Chapter 11 "Ambient conditions".
• Use within strong electromagnetic fields can cause the device to malfunction.
• The device must not be opened by the user as this would invalidate the manufacturer ' s
guarantee. Repairs may only be carried out by the manufacturer or its authorized
partners. Incorrect handling of the internal battery can especially lead to hazards.
• Persons who produce a large amount of saliva must not use the IntegraMouse Plus.
• The IntegraMouse Plus may be used in combination with the attached IntegraMouse
Plus silicon tube, only by such persons that are not in danger of swallowing such
objects.
• The IntegraMouse Plus must not be used on moving systems (e.g. wheelchairs) or on
systems with changes of position (e.g. changes of inclination).
• The IntegraMouse Plus must not be used for the operation of life-supporting or safety
devices such as emergency call installations, medication-dosing appar atus, m edic al
expert systems, etc.
• Children under 3 years of age are not permitted to operate the IntegraMouse Plus.
• The IntegraMouse Plus must not be used in connection with HF surgical units or
defibrillators.
• A combination with other devices than those described in Chapter 10 "Permissible
system" is not permissible. Any other combination with medical products or other
7
products leads to the system integrator becoming the system manufacturer and also
taking on responsibility for the product.
• During highly infectious diseases, the mouthpiece must only be used once. The
interval between changes of the mouthpiece must be determined by a doctor or an
expert advisor.
• Take regular breaks when you are working with computers. Physical signs of tiredness
include eye pain, neck stiffness and other accompanying signs. A ten-minute break
per hour of work is recommended.
• IntegraMouse Plus may only be operated with a properly applied and seal-tested
membrane.
• Do not immerse the IntegraMouse Plus in water. The mouthpiece may be immersed
but it has to be dismounted before cleaning. If you spill liquid over one or both parts,
dry it immediately with a soft, lint-free cloth.
• Do not clean the IntegraMouse Plus with abrasive or corrosive materials. They may
scratch the plastic parts and corrode the electronic circuits.
• Do not subject the IntegraMouse Plus to excessive force, shock, dust, temperature or
humidity, which may result in malfunction, shorter electronic life span and distorted
parts.
• Do not tamper with the IntegraMouse Plus internal components. Doing so will
invalidate the warranty on the IntegraMouse Plus and may cause unnecessary
damage. The IntegraMouse Plus contains no user-serviceable parts, apart the
mouthpiece and the membrane.
• If MagicArm® or an alternative stand, recommended by an IntegraMouse Plus dealer,
is not used with the IntegraMouse Plus, no liability or responsibility for damage to
equipment or persons is accepted.
• Always read the user´s instructions thoroughly before operating the unit.
The manufacturer assumes responsibility for safety, reliability and performance of
IntegraMouse Plus only if:
• installation and operation conform to the instructions set out in this manual,
• no alterations, changes or repairs are made (except by the manufacturer),
• the instructions concerning the cleaning of the mouthpiece set out in this manual are
observed,
• the membrane is replaced at the recommended intervals,
• the device is used with original accessories only,
• the device is not used when one or more parts are damaged,
• the device is mounted to a stand recommended by an authorized IntegraMouse Plus
dealer

The membrane is necessary for the sipping/puffing function of the IntegraMouse Plus and
also functions as a mechanical protective barrier to the electronics. The membrane should
regularly be checked for damage and replaced.

If you prefer a soft surface on the mouthpiece, the silicon tube can be placed over the
mouthpiece. This can make it more comfortable to use. Pay attention to the instructions for
safe use of the silicon tube in Chapter
IntegraMouse Plus silicon tube
7.5. "Using the IntegraMouse Plus silicon tube".
