1 Introduction The device is powered by the Windows 10 Entreprise LTSB operating system. 1.1 Patents Submission number Country/Region 0601239 200680026807.6 11/922.812 06763845.2 EUROPE, DE, FR, UK 14/613.952 0753461 EP2008/052211 PCT (International) 08717066.8 EUROPE, FR 1258037 1.2 Use The device is a digital chrono-amperometric analyzer used for early identification and follow-up of peripheral autonomic neuropathies.
Carefully follow instructions in the corresponding manual to ensure correct installation. Complete installation should take no more than 15-20 minutes. Impeto Medical is able to provide a printed version of this user guide within 7 business days following the receipt of the request.
2 Start a scan When starting a scan, the first step is to determine if the patient is already in the database of the system, or if it’s his first exam. Note: For any additional help, please press the Help button (bottom right corner).
2.2.2 Start a scan for a patient that already exists in the system Once you are connected on the system, click on Patient History on the Home screen. Using filters, select the patient from the patient list. Click on the New Scan button. The patient’s demographic information shall already be set.
If the issue persists, please contact Impeto Medical Technical Support (ref. p27). Note: Smart Electrodes: Red LEDS on the docks indicates that the scan cannot be launched. If the issue persists after you followed the procedure above, please contact Impeto Medical Technical Support (ref. p27). 2.5 Results interpretation The device immediately populates results after a scan.
Selecting the Re-Scan button will prompt the current scan to be cancelled. The user will be returned to the scan page to start a new scan. If the issue persists, please contact Impeto Medical Technical Support (ref. p27).
3 Actions to perform 3.1 After each scan: Disinfecting the electrodes (all electrodes) IMMEDIATELY AFTER EACH SCAN, IT IS IMPORTANT TO CLEAN ALL SMART ELECTRODES WITH THE MANUFACTURER APPROVED CLEANING SOLUTION. This will not only disinfect but also neutralize the electrochemical reactions which have taken place on the electrodes during the scan.
Note: If an error occurs during normal use of the device, perform a Quality Check test. If the test indicates that the device passed and you are still encountering issues, please contact your distributor or Impeto Medical Technical support (ref. p27). It is important that no one stands on the electrodes while performing a Quality Check.
4 Replace the electrodes All options are not available in every region, please check with your distributor to which product is available in your region. 4.1 How to replace Smart Electrodes Please plan in advance when placing your replacement electrodes orders. Upon receiving a new order, a set of electrodes will be shipped to replace existing used electrodes once all scans have been used.

After the change of electrodes, return to the main program screen and then click the New Patient button. The number remaining of scans will be updated and displayed on the top right header of the screen. IF DOCKS HAVE BEEN DISCONNECTED FROM THE SYSTEM, PLEASE PLUG THEM IN AGAIN AND RESTART THE SYSTEM.
4.2 How to replace Standard Electrodes When the sensor plates have to be replaced, please follow these instructions to unplug the old sensor plates and plug in the new ones: Unscrew the sensor plates’ cable retention bracket, if installed. Grab the larger part of each plug and gently pull it backwards. When installing a new set of sensor plates, please ensure the plugs are correctly seated in the socket to ensure a proper connection.
