Symbols and Intended Use
Intended Use Statement
The BioMedix PADnet (or VEINnet) system is a non-invasive device used to assess the lower and upper extremity
arterial and venous circulatory systems in order to assist in the identification of vascular disease. To assess the arterial
system, the device uses pulse volume recording, arterial pulse contour analysis, and segmental systolic & diastolic
blood pressure measurements. To assess the venous valvular system, the device measures venous refilling time. For
identification of venous obstruction in the deep venous (below knee) system, the device measures venous outflow
rate. It is intended to be used by healthcare professionals in a hospital or clinic environment. The device is not intended
for pediatric or fetal use. It is also not intended for the use on or near non-intact skin.
Contraindications
The device is not intended for pediatric or fetal use. It is also not intended for use on or near non intact skin.
The device is not intended for use on patients with suspected Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT).

NOTE 2 These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic propagation is affected by absorption and reflection from structures,
objects and people.
a) Field strengths from fixed transmitters, such as base stations for radio (cellular/cordless) telephones and land mobile radios, amateur radio,
AM and FM radio broadcast and TV broadcast cannot be predicted theoretically with accuracy. To access the electromagnetic
environment due to fixed RF transmitters, an electromagnetic site survey should be considered. If the measured field strength in the
location in which BioMedix medical devices are used exceeds the applicable RF compliance level above, BioMedix
medical devices should be observed to verify normal operation. If abnormal performance is observed, additional measures
may be necessary, such as reorienting or relocating BioMedix medical devices.
b) Over the frequency range 150 KHz to 80 MHz, field strengths should be less than 3 V/m.
Recommended separation distances between portable and mobile RF communications equipment and BioMedix®medical devices.
BioMedix medical devices are intended for use in an electromagnetic environment in which radiated RF disturbances are
controlled. The customer or the user of BioMedix medical devices can help prevent electromagnetic interference by maintaining a minimum
distance between portable and mobile RF communications equipment (transmitters) and BioMedix medical devices as recommended
below, according to the maximum output power of the communications equipment.
