SAFETY CAUTIONS AND OTHER WARNINGS
The use of the multichannel amplifier quattro is absolutely forbidden in the following conditions:
•
While other monitoring devices are in use with the patient.
•
While electro surgery equipment, short waves or microwaves therapy devices are used.
•
By mentally impaired people.
•
Whenever the equipment is damaged.
•
In proximity of inflammable substances (especially inflammable liquids and gases) or in environments with high concentration
of oxygen.
•
On patients carrying life-supporting equipment that might be adversely affected by electromagnetic interferences, such as
pacemakers, etc.
The following cautions should be observed:
•
Only use electrodes supplied by the manufacturer: quattro is guaranteed to achieve tested performance only if used with
electrodes supplied by the manufacturer.
•
Contact the manufacturer immediately if extraneous materials permeate into the device (liquids, powders, etc.). In case of
hard shocks suffered by the quattro (like a drop to the floor, etc.), verify that no crack or any other kind of damage of the
box resulted from the shock. In case of doubt, please contact the manufacturer.
•
The quattro is subject to electromagnetic interference that is not dangerous for the patient (such as electrostatic or
electromagnetic interference generated by electrical motors and other sources). This interference may affect the
measurements of the physiological variables derived from the EMG or EEG signals. These measurements are not meant to
be used for diagnostic purposes, and thus these signal alterations cannot be dangerous for the patient, please always take
into account the presence of noise in your signal processing tasks and evaluations.
