The ForeSite SS System: Overview Thank you for purchasing the ForeSite SS Pressure Imaging System! The ForeSite SS sensor is embedded with thousands of sensor cells that continuously measure the level of pressure between two solid objects. For clinical purposes, this may be the level of pressure between a wheelchair and a client’s body surface.
Class I Medical Equipment √ Type B Applied Part. Only the sensor(s) touch the patient in normal use. The ForeSite SS is intended for use by healthcare professionals only. ForeSite SS must be installed and used as described in this user manual. Introduction...
