Cautions - natus Dantec Keypoint G4 User's And Service Manual

When connecting other equipment, attention must be paid to standard IEC 60601-1– Medical Electrical
Equipment Part 1: General requirements for basic safety and essential performance. Failure to comply with this
standard may result in safety risk.
The equipment should not be used adjacent or stacked with other equipment. If adjacent or stacked use is
necessary, the equipment should be observed to verify normal operation in the configuration in which it will be
used.
Dangerous physiological effects! The current stimulator may give off dangerous currents and voltage.
Use of accessories, transducers and cables other than those specified or provided by the manufacturer of this
equipment could result in increased electromagnetic emission or decreased electromagnetic immunity of this
equipment and result in improper operation.
Electric shock hazard. Do not remove the cover. Refer servicing to qualified service personnel.
This device is intended to be used by qualified medical personnel, knowledgeable in the field of neurophysiology
and neurophysiological assessment, as well as in the use of the product / Keypoint equipment.
Portable RF communications equipment (including peripherals such as antenna cables and external antennas)
should be used no closer than 30 cm (12 inches) to any part of the Keypoint system including cables specified by
the manufacturer. Otherwise, degradation of the performance of this equipment could result.
Portable and mobile RF communication equipment can affect electrical equipment for medical use.
Dangerous physiological effects! The current stimulator may give off dangerous currents and voltage.
Do not use cleaning detergents, or other cleaning agents based on alcohol, solvent, silicon-based, abrasive
and/or flammable substances to clean the equipment.
Avoid accidental contact between connected, but unapplied electrodes and other conductive parts - including
those connected to protective earth.
Always use shielded power line cables from Natus to avoid hum line interference, especially near the patient, or
the amplifier.

Cautions

Simultaneous connection of a patient to HF surgical equipment may result in burns at the site of the electrical
stimulation or recording electrodes, and possible damage to the electrical stimulator or the electrode input
amplifiers. Operation in close proximity (e.g., 1m) to short wave or microwave therapy equipment may produce
instability in the electrical stimulator output.
When connecting other equipment, qualified attention must be paid to the following excerpt from the medical
safety standard to which this system complies.
Use only optional devices specified by Natus in order to comply with IEC 60601-1.
Use only the 6-outlets safety power supply / isolating transformer unit for all devices of the complete system in
order to comply with the IEC 60601-1. See
Avoid electrical stimulation for an extended period of time.
It is strongly recommended to back up regularly. To back up the database, use the Admin Tool program.
To back up the directory containing archived studies, use the Windows Backup Tool.
Isolating Transformer for instructions for use.
