Polaris Vicra System Operating Environment
In order for the Polaris Vicra System to operate correctly, the system must be set up in an
environment that meets the following criteria:
Warnings
Read the following warnings before using the Polaris Vicra System, to avoid the risk of personal
Warning!
injury.
1. Do not use the Polaris Vicra System in the presence of flammable materials such as
anaesthetics, solvents, cleaning agents, and endogenous gases. Flammable materials may
ignite, causing personal injury or death.
2. Do not protect or shield either the Position Sensor or tools with methods not approved by
NDI. Non-approved methods will interrupt the optical path and degrade the performance
of the system. Reliance on data provided by a Position Sensor without an uninterrupted
optical path may lead to inaccurate conclusions. If your application involves personal
safety, inaccurate conclusions increase the possibility of personal injury.
3. Radio frequency communications equipment, including portable and mobile devices, may
affect the Polaris Vicra System and result in personal injury.
4. Do not use cables or accessories, other than those listed in this guide. The use of other
cables or accessories may result in increased emissions and/or decreased immunity of the
Polaris Vicra System and may result in personal injury.
5. Do not incorporate non-NDI components with the Polaris Vicra System. The accuracy of
results produced by applications that incorporate non-NDI components with the Polaris
Vicra System is unknown. If your application involves personal safety, reliance on these
results may increase the possibility of personal injury.
6. Do not attempt to bypass the grounding prong on the power cord by using a three-prong to
two-prong adapter. The system must be properly grounded to ensure safe operation.
Failure to do so presents an electric shock hazard.
