WARNING! The IT components are placed OUTSIDE the patient environment. IT
components placed INSIDE the patient environment (at least 1.5 m from the unit),
due to customer site requirements, must also conform to IEC 60601-1.
IEC 60601-1 defines the "Patient environment" as "any volume in which intentional or
unintentional contact can occur between a patient and parts of the ME Equipment or ME
System or between a Patient and other persons touching parts of the ME Equipment or
ME System."
For workstation hardware requirements, refer to the used imaging software
specifications. See
updated to reflect the changes. Consult the current sensor systems requirements before
you purchase any hardware.
NOTICE! Systems that meet only the minimum requirements may fail to deliver
a satisfactory experience. Systems with faster processors, more memory, and
bigger, faster hard drives will significantly enhance performance.

4.3 Workstation upgrades

NOTICE! Always make back-ups of your data and store it off-site. Before
assuming that your back-up efforts have been successful, make sure that you
understand the backup process and try the restore process at least once on a test
system. Verify that both the operating system and data have been preserved.
To protect patient records and other critical data, consider the following solutions:
• Purchase a new computer and run a parallel system on it.
• If you must upgrade your existing system, purchase an additional hard drive and copy
the existing hard drive to it.

4.4 Installing the sensor

The installation of the sensor consists of:
• Installing the imaging software. Refer to your software manual for instructions.
• Connecting the sensor to your computer. See instructions in
The sensor does not require any calibration or calibration file installation from a disc.

4.4.1 Connecting the sensor

1. Make sure the workstation to which you are connecting the sensor has a compatible
version of the software installed.
NOTICE! The sensor is a USB compliant device and shall be used with USB
compliant cables suitable for high speed/USB 2.0 cables. Such cables are
either marked "USB 2.0" or "USB high speed." USB certified hubs can be used
to extend the distance to the USB host/computer. The length of the cable
connection to the hub or between hubs shall not exceed 5 m.
