Procedure; Training; Operation - Noraxon TeleMyo DTS Operating Document

3. Procedure

Whether the device will be used with the Noraxon data collection package or with
the Vicon system, the basic principles regarding the use of the device are the same.
Outlined in this section are instruction on operating the EMG probes, electrode
recommendations and an overview of principles regarding EMG.

3.1 Training

All users must read and sign this POD to receive the proper training in
applications and instrumentation. Users should never modify the equipment.

3.2 Operation

The EMG sensors require minimal attention on the part of the user. Because there
are multiple DTS EMG Transmitters, each transmitter has a unique 4 character serial
number consisting of a mix of digits 0-9 and letters A through F, which provides a
simplified means of identifying one sensor from another. This serial number appears on
each DTS EMG Transmitter (adjacent to its charging contacts).
The sensor's green STATUS indicator provides a means of communicating its
operational state. In the idle state the STATUS indicator will flash at a low, once per
second rate. When the sensor is actively measuring an EMG signal the STATUS indicator
will flash recognizably faster. If the STATUS indicator is not flashing at all, the EMG
Transmitter must be placed in the Charging Dock to be recharged. This could be due to a
depleted sensor battery or if the sensor has been deliberately placed in a special shut
down mode. The Charge LED on an EMG Transmitter is solid orange when charging in
the Charging Dock. The solid orange LED of an EMG Transmitter will turn off when it is
fully charged.
For proper operation, the EMG Transmitter must be applied to the measurement
site so that the reference electrode pad on the bottom side is in direct contact with bare
