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.
Trigno Systems should be stored and operated between 5 and 40 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.

Spring Contact Adpater Overview The Trigno Spring Contact Adapter is an accessory to the Trigno EMG System for these Researchers wishing to detect EMG sig- nals with alternative methods to those provided by the Trigno standard contact approach. The main sensor body uses the 4 silver contacts to establish a local electrical reference from which to measure the EMG signals detected by the spring contacts.
Using the Sensors Charging the Sensors Connect the Trigno power supply to the circular DC jack lo- cated 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 appropriate 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” command in EMGworks. 1. Turn sensor on by depressing the sensor button.
Figure 5: The calibration can be auto-detected, or manually re- trieve.. Smart Sensor Features After pairing, the association of sensors to the Trigno System is retained 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”...

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 en- sure that no mechanical deterioration has occurred.

Do not submerge the sensors in any liquid under any cir- cumstance. 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 Spring Contact Adapter 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 sampled at 1926 kHz. Trigno EMG System...
