2. WARNINGS & PRECAUTIONS Intelect® Transport 2 Ultrasound and Combo Therapy System
5
Transport 2 devices generate, use, and can
radiate radio frequency energy and, if not
installed and used in accordance with
instructions for use, may cause harmful
interference to other devices in the vicinity.
Harmful interference to other devices can be
determined by turning this equipment on and
off. Try to correct the interference using one or
more of the following:
» Reorient or relocate the receiving device
» Increase the separation between the
equipment
» Connect the equipment to an outlet on a
different circuit from that to which the other
device(s) are connected
» Consult your authorized DJO dealer for help.
• Do not use Transport 2 device in conjunction
with electronic monitoring equipment (such as
ECG monitors and ECG alarms). Electronic
monitoring equipment may not operate
properly when electrical stimulation is in use.
• DO NOT operate Transport 2 in an environment
where other devices are being used that
intentionally radiate electromagnetic energy in
an unshielded manner. For example
» DO NOT operate the Intelect®Transport 2
within the vicinity or environment of an
ultrasonic diathermy system.
» DO NOT operate the Intelect®Transport 2
within the vicinity or environment of any
microware and RF shortwave diathermy
system.
• The energy from above systems can be
transferred to patients with an implanted
neurostimulation device causing tissue damage
and resulting in severe injury or death even if
the implanted neurostimulation system is
turned “off.”
• Portable RF communications equipment should
be used no closer than 30 cm (12 inches) to any
part of the Intelect®Transport 2, including
cables specified by the manufacturer.
Otherwise, degradation of the performance of
this equipment could result.
• Simultaneous connection of a PATIENT to a high
frequency surgical ME EQUIPMENT may result in
burns at the site of the STIMULATOR electrodes
and possible damage to the STIMULATOR.
• DO NOT operate the Intelect® Transport 2 unit
when connected to any unit other than DJO
devices or accessories specifically described in
this IFU as part of Transport 2 system or that have
been specified as being compatible with the
Transport 2. The use of other companies’
accessories, transducers or cables may result in
increased emissions or decreased immunity of
Transport
2 devices and resulting improper operations. DJO,
LLC is not responsible for any consequence
resulting from using products manufactured by
other companies.
• DO NOT apply stimulation over the anterior neck
or mouth. Severe spasm of the laryngeal and
pharyngeal muscles may occur, and the
contractions may be strong enough to close the
airway or cause difficulty in breathing.
• DO NOT apply stimulation transthoracically
because the introduction of electrical current into
the heart may cause cardiac arrhythmia.
• DO NOT apply stimulation over swollen, infected,
and inflamed areas or skin eruptions, e.g.,
phlebitis, thrombophlebitis, varicose veins, etc.
• DO NOT apply stimulation over, or in proximity to,
cancerous lesions.
• DO NOT use contaminated, electrodes, lead wires,
and gel which can lead to infection.
• DO NOT use electrode on multiple patients can
lead to infection.
• Keep electrodes separated during treatment.
Electrodes in contact with each other could result
in improper stimulation or skin burns.
• The Intelect®Transport 2 may be susceptible to
Electro-Static Discharge (ESD) at greater than ±6
kV when first grasping the Ultrasound applicator.
In the event of such a discharge, the Intelect®
Transport 2 may display a permanent error. The
Intelect®Transport 2 will terminate all active
outputs (stim, ultrasound,), automatically place
the unit in a safe state. Do not turn the unit on or
off while it is connected to the patient.
• To prevent Electro-Static Discharge (ESD) at
greater than ±6 kV:
» Grasp and hold the Ultrasound prior to starting
treatment. If the applicator must be put down
prior to completion of treatment, stop the
current treatment first and then place the
applicator in the holder.
» Maintain humidity in the use environment to at
least 50% relative humidity.
» Floors should be wood, concrete, or ceramic tile.
If floors are covered with synthetic material, DJO
recommends implementing additional controls
