Connect only to Delsys-approved devices. Connecting a patient to high-frequency surgical equipment while using Delsys EMG systems may result in burns at the site of the EMG sensor contacts. Immediately discontinue device use if skin irritation or discomfort occurs.
Extended periods in the discharged state may damage the internal lithium polymer cell. Trigno™ Systems should be stored and operated between 5 and 40 degrees Celsius due to the presence of an internal Lithium Polymer rechargeable cell. Storing or operating the device, and consequently the cell, outside of this temperature range may compromise the in- tegrity and the safety features of the cell.

Snap Lead Sensor Overview Delsys recommends to use Snap Lead sensors with care as motion ar- tifact and cross-talk issues are commonly associated with these types of wire-lead electrode sensors. Also, please be aware that large inter- electrode distances may increase the EMG signal cross-talk from ad- jacent and underlying muscles and could possible obscure the surface EMG signal of inerest.
Using the Sensors Charging the Sensors Connect the Trigno™ power supply to the circular DC jack located on the side of the Trigno™ Base/Recharge Station. Energize the power supply by connecting it to a Mains outlet. Be sure to use the appro- priate plug adapter for your location.
Sensor Pairing Trigno™ sensors communicate with a custom wireless protocol that links each sensor to the active Trigno™ network This linking process is known as sensor “pairing”, and is initiated through the “Pair” com- mand in EMGworks®. 1. Turn sensor on by depressing the sensor button.
Smart Sensor Features After pairing, the association of sensors to the Trigno™ System is re- tained for all future uses. Any configuration in EMGworks® can be made to reflect the last paired set of sensors by clicking the “Refresh Smart Sensors”...
Please refer the Trigno™ EMG System User Guide for further details on system and sensor operation. Working with the Snap Lead Sensors As with all EMG sensor technolgoy, the Trigno Snap Lead sensors must be propoerly position above the muscle to to obtain a qualtiy EMG signal.

The dry cells will attach the tape’s adhesive when it is removed. Be sure to wipe with isopropyl alcohol to remove any adhesive residue that may remain. Trigno™ Snap Lead Sensor User’s Guide...
Maintenance and Care Trigno™ sensors are encased in a sealed polycarbonate enclosure. The following points should be kept in mind when handling the sensors. • All sensors should be visually inspected before each use to ensure that no mechanical deterioration has occurred.

Do not submerge the sensors in any liquid under any circum- stance. The sensors contain sensitive electronic circuitry. Static dis- charges and intense magnetic fields should be avoided to pre- vent the risk of irreparable damage to the sensors. Trigno™ Snap Lead Sensor User’s Guide...
Actual performance will vary depending on usage conditions. Operation beyond these temperature limits may damage the rechargeable battery. Input-referred noise is calculated as a root mean square over a 3 second window sam- pled at 1926 kHz. Trigno EMG System...
