14. Operation of the ECG monitor may be temporarily interrupted after application of the
treatment, such as after defibrillator discharge. If ECG signal monitoring is planned for
patient safety reasons, verify proper monitoring of the ECG signal before and after
application of the treatment. For monitoring heart signals, use only devices that are
protected against defibrillator discharges.
15. Before beginning the treatment, always activate wheel locking levers and take the
appropriate precautions to avoid device accidental movement or handle cable yanking
during the treatment. Unexpected movements of the electrode could cause harm to the
patient.
16. As indicated in section 8.1, it is advisable to carry out scheduled electrical safety tests and
periodically check for correct operation of the device.
17. Use only protection fuses as specified in section 9.2and as indicated on the data plate on
the rear panel.
18. The present User Manual is a fundamental part of the C L I N I P O R A T O R device and
should always accompany the device. The operator must refer to this manual for the correct
use of the equipment.
19. Make sure that the equipment connected to the patient and located next to the treatment
area is protected from defibrillator discharge.

3.2 Cautions

1. Read thoroughly this Manual before operating the device. Contact the local supplier or
manufacturer in case of doubt on the correct usage of the equipment.
2. Wear surgical gloves made of insulating material when delivering pulses and while holding
the electrodes.
3. Do not use the handle without the electrode. Do not touch the electrode or the bushes of the
handle with your fingers during the treatment.
4. The electrode connected to the device must always correspond to the code entered through
the software interface. Disregarding this warning may result in undesirable effects including:
ineffective treatment, unnecessary discomfort for the patient and possible slight
complications in the healing of the treated area.
5. The safety and effectiveness of the treatment are not guaranteed if electrodes different from
the ones approved and supplied by IGEA manufacturer or by an authorised dealer are used.
6. Unless there is a reasonable doubt that an area has been treated ineffectively, repeating a
treatment on the same area is not advisable since it is not believed to increase treatment
effectiveness. On the contrary, repeating the treatment on the same area would bring
unnecessary discomfort to the patient and increase the risk of possible slight complications
in the healing of the treated area.
7. Avoid short circuiting the electrodes when delivering treatment pulses.
8. Do not use worn out handles or handles whose cord, grip, pulse generator connector or
electrode connector are damaged, or handles that have been tampered with.
9. Make sure that the mains power supply meets the instructions on the data plate on the rear
panel and is able to supply the required power.
10. In case of suspected failure, do not use C L I N I P O R A T O R and contact the manufacturer
or the authorised supplier.
11. The PC Panel accepts only USB pen drive. Do not force the USB pen drive into the
connector, rather check if it has been inserted properly.
12. Do not let the device get wet. Do not pour liquid on the unit.
13. Store C L I N I P O R A T O R away from direct sunlight, heat sources or dust; in particular, do
not expose the LCD display to direct sunlight for a long time.
14. Respect the operating and storing conditions as specified in section 9.3.
15. Do not block the aeration grids on the rear panel of the device. Periodically check that
nothing is blocking the grids in order to have a correct ventilation of the internal circuits.
16. Do not hold the equipment with wet hands.
