    Important Information Intended Use The Trigno Wireless EMG Systems are designed for research, investigational and scholarship purposes only. Delsys® products are not intended for measurement purposes or for use in the treat- mentand diagnosis of humans. Rx ONLY Contraindications DO NOT USE on Patients with implanted electronic devices of any kind, including cardiac pace-makers or similar assistive devices, electronic infusion pumps, and implanted stimulators.
  • Page 4: Warning And Precautions

    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 discom- fort occurs.
  • Page 5: Device Information

    Recharge only with the approved power supply and recharger. Trigno Systems should be stored and operated between 5 and 50 degrees Celsius due to the presence of an internal Lithium Poly- mer rechargeable cell. Storing or operating the device, and conse- quently the cell, outside of this temperature range may compro- mise the integrity and the safety features of the cell.
  • Page 6 Pursuant to Part 15.21 of the FCC Rules, any changes or modi- fications to this product not expressly approved by Delsys Inc. might cause harmful interference and void the FCC authoriza- tion to operate this product.
  • Page 7: Disclaimer

    Operation of this device outside specifications determined by DELSYS INC. or use with any other input devices other than DELSYS INC. sensors constitute an invalidation of this limited warranty. This warranty is not transferable.

    EMGworks . The ® unit is capable of communicating with 16 Trigno sensors (resulting in 64 data channels), as well as logging GPS information and internal 3 DOF accelerometer data which has 4 selectable ranges (±1.5g, ±4g, ±6g, ±12g).
  • Page 9 Wireless EMG Sensor Features Trigno Sensors are equipped with the following features: • transmission range of 40m • no inter-sensor latency (< 1 sample period) • self-contained rechargeable battery • EMG signal bandwidth 20- 450 Hz • EMG signal sampling rate of 2000 samples/sec •...
  • Page 10 Personal Monitor Features The Trigno Personal Monitor is equipped with the following fea- tures: • support for 16 Trigno sensors (16 EMG, 48 Accelerometer) • internal 3DOF acceerometer (±1.5g, ±4g, ±6g, ±12g) • GPS capable • 16 GB memory for data storage •...
  • Page 11 Getting Started with the Personal Monitor Charging the Trigno Sensors Connect the Trigno power supply to the circular DC jack located on the side of the Recharge Station. Energize the power supply by connecting it to a Mains outlet. Be sure to use the appropriate plug adapter for your locations (Figure XX).

  • Page 14 Setting the Time In order to guarantee data integrity and proper file synchronization with EMG- works, it is fundamentallly important that the Personal Monitor retain accu- rate time settings during operation. The internal clock is automallicatly synchro- nized by EMGworks when the device is connected to a PC.
  • Page 15 Using the Wireless EMG Sensors Orienting the Sensors on the Skin Trigno EMG Sensors are fitted with 4 silver bar contacts for detectinUg the EMG signal at the skin surface. It is crucial that the orientation of these bars be perpendicular to the muscle fibers for maximum signal detection.
  • Page 16 Discard after using. Reseal storage bag to main- tain freshnes Sensor Pairing Trigno sensors communicate with a custom wireless protocol that links each sensor to a Personal Monitor. This linking process is known as sensor “pairing”, and is initiated through the “Pair” command.
  • Page 17 Figure 11. Pushing the sensor button to complete the pairing process.. Trigno systems are shipped with all sensors appropriately paired. Sen- sor pairing is typically needed if sensors are being replaced within the network group, when the communication frequency sets are changed, and after a firmware upgrade is performed.
  • Page 18 Sensor Modes Each Trigno sensor can operate in one of 4 possible data collection modes, which determines the type of data being collected. When using EMGworks, the sensor mode can be set on the sensor settings pane for each sensor.
  • Page 19 Maintenace and Care Smart Sensors Trigno sensor 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.
