communication that a VOCA often
brings
Although designed and manufactured
to be extremely robust and reliable, it is
possible to lose function due to power
loss or other technical issues. For this
reason, it should not;
• be used as a life supporting
device
• be relied upon for well-being.
• be relied upon as the user's only
way of making an
• emergency call or alarm
• be used to administer medicine
• be relied upon as the only method
of interaction with EC devices
It is also not intended to provide
information which is used to take
decisions with diagnosis or therapeutic
purposes.
When the device is working with other
equipment, there may be interference.
For this reason, Grid Pad should not be
used:
• in an MRI environment
• in an X-ray environment
• in a military environment
• in a harsh RF environment
Epilepsy warning
A very small percentage of people may
experience a seizure when exposed to
certain visual images, including flashing
lights or patterns that may appear
when viewing the track status.
Even people who have no history of
seizures or epilepsy may have an
undiagnosed condition that can cause
these "photosensitive epileptic seizures"
while using Antireflection compensation
built in to eye tracking technology.
Anti-reflection compensation changes
the behaviour of the Infrared LED's in the
camera from a constant illumination to a
strobing illumination.
This only occurs when the anti-reflection
setting is enabled in Grid 3, and is most
visible when viewing the live video mon-
itor of the camera. If you or anyone else
using the system experiences any issues
from either the infrared strobing or the
live video monitor please immediately
stop using the eye gaze camera and
consult a doctor.
Seizures may have a variety of
symptoms, including light
headedness, altered vision, eye or face
twitching, jerking or shaking of arms or
legs, disorientation,
confusion, or momentary loss of aware-
ness. Seizures may also cause loss of
consciousness or convulsions that can
lead to injury from falling down or striking
nearby objects.
You may reduce risk of
photosensitive epileptic seizures by
taking the following precautions:
• Use in a well-lit room.
• Do not use Anti-reflection mode if
the user is drowsy or fatigued
• If you or any of your relatives have
a history of seizures or epilepsy,
consult a doctor before using eye
tracking technology
