The use of the Q-sense system should be as intended by Medoc Ltd. and as specified in the user
manual. The Q-Sense is a pain management and pain research system intended to be used for
the quantitative assessment of small nerve fiber dysfunctions. It measures sensory thresholds
such as cold and warm sensation and heat-induced pain.
1.3 Safety and Regulatory Summary
Read and follow all WARNINGS, CAUTIONS and NOTES provided in this manual. To avoid the
possibility of injury, damage to your system, or loss of data, always follow these precautions during
system operation.
The Q-SENSE system complies with safety requirements for medical electrical systems (based
on the IEC 60601-1 standard).
The Q-SENSE system complies with electromagnetic emission levels (based on table 201 in
the IEC 60601-1-2 standard).
The Q-SENSE system complies with electromagnetic immunity levels (based on tables 202
and 204 in the IEC 60601-1-2 standard).
This device complies with 93/42/EEC MDD.
It is recommend keeping a distance of 3 meters between portable and mobile RF
communications equipment and the Q-SENSE (based on table 206 in the IEC 60601-1-2
standard).
1.4 Safety Requirements
The Q-SENSE system can be tested according to IEC 62353 Recurrent test
and test after repair of medical electrical equipment.
Do not modify or replace any component of the Q-SENSE system.
Do not use any other power supply other than the one provided by the
manufacturer.
Connecting or replacing external Q-SENSE accessories is allowed.
Keep all liquids away from the Q-SENSE system.
Unplug the Q-SENSE system if it is not to be used for a long period of time.
Do not block airflow anywhere around the Q-SENSE system.
1.4.1 Warnings
Only personnel properly trained to operate the Q-SENSE system should use this system.
Do not turn on system power until all cables have been properly connected and verified.
Do not use any electrode paste, gel, or other material on the contact point between the
Thermode plate and the skin of the tested subject.
To reduce the risk of injury, attach the Thermode to the subject only prior to running a test
while MEDOC Main Station is in Test screen. Remove the Thermode from the subject skin
before leaving the Test Screen.

Pathway Technical Reference Service Manual
Proprietary 8 of 44
Connect the Thermode to the patient's skin ONLY during the test; not during system Self-Test,
programming or maintenance.
The computer that is used to operate the Q-SENSE system must be powered through a
Medical Grade Isolation Transformer only.
The use of accessories or cables other than those specified, with the exception of accessories
or cables sold by the manufacturer as replacement parts, may result in increased emissions or
decreased electrical immunity of the device.
Connecting any device or accessory that has no medical grade certificate to the Q-SENSE
system is not allowed.
Using a Thermode without the appropriate calibration table may result in potential harm or
injury.
Using the Q-SENSE system not according to instructions may result in potential harm or injury.
Adverse Reaction: Skin irritation (in addition to pain sensation) beneath the probes has been
reported with the use of a stimulator, which was based on similar technology as the Q-Sense
device.
Be aware of potential risk of skin damage caused by wrong parameter combination.
1.4.2 Cautions
Proper use of this device depends on careful reading of all instructions and labels.
Turn OFF system power before connecting or disconnecting any system component(s) or
accessories. Otherwise, you may damage the device(s).
The Thermode is very delicate and can easily be damaged. Therefore, handle with care.
If you disconnect any cables, take care to reconnect them correctly to prevent damage to the
system or components.
This equipment uses a three-wire power cord with a hospital grade plug (for non-USA
applications, the IEC 60601-1-approved plug).
Inspect the power cord often for fraying or other damage. DO NOT operate the apparatus if the
power cord or plug is damaged.
The computer that is used to operate the Q-SENSE system must never be connected to a
network while it is used for running tests.
The Q-SENSE system does not require special precautions regarding EMC, and needs to be
installed and put into service according to this manual.
Portable and mobile RF communications equipment can affect medical electrical equipment.
Use caution when using the Q-SENSE Thermode on patients with suspected neuropathies as
they may be more susceptible to soft tissue or nerve damage at extreme temperatures. Also,
patients with neuropathies may not be able to properly discontinue use of the device during
prolonged hot or cold stimulation.
1.4.3 Equipment Classification
Degree of protection against electric shock: Class I
Type of protection against electric shock: BF
Type of Operation: Continuous
Protection against ingress of liquids: Not protected against ingress of liquids

1.5 System Protection
1.5.1 System Self-Test
Upon start-up the system performs a self-test in which system sensors are being tested. If a
malfunction is detected, an appropriate message is displayed and the system cannot operate until
that malfunction is resolved.
1.5.2 Temperature Safety Mechanisms
Several safeguard mechanisms have been implemented in the system to safeguard against
extreme temperatures and to protect the tested subject and the unit.
Software protection mechanisms include:
Temperature upper and lower limits –In normal operation, Thermode temperature will always
be within these limits.
Time duration limits –Thermode temperature is limited in duration. If the Thermode
temperature maintains a specific temperature (or above) for a longer period of time then
specified for that temperature, the system will go into Safe Mode.
Safe Mode –a protective state of the system in which it is not possible to run tests. In any case
of suspected malfunction or if any modification is made to system hardware settings, system
will remain in safe mode until a system Self-Test is performed.
Hardware protection mechanisms include:
If the Thermode temperature reaches 57C an analog circuit overrides the system and lowers
the temperature gradually.
1.5.3 Thermode Detection
The system automatically detects that a Thermode is missing, and disables it in order to protect
both system and user.

NOTE 1 At 80 MHz and 800 MHz, the higher frequency range applies.
NOTE 2 These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic propagation is affected by
absorption and reflection from structures, objects and people.
* 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 assess 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 the Q-Sense is used exceeds the applicable RF compliance level above, the Q-Sense
should be observed to verify normal operation. If abnormal performance is observed, additional measures
may be necessary, such as reorienting or relocating the Q-Sense.
** Over the frequency range 150 kHz to 80 MHz, field strengths should be less than 3 V/m.

1.8 Recommended Separation Distance between Portable and Mobile
RF Communications Equipment and Q-Sense
The Q-Sense is intended for use in an electromagnetic environment in which radiated RF
disturbances are controlled. The customer or the user of the Q-Sense can help prevent
electromagnetic interference by maintaining a minimum distance between portable and mobile RF
communications equipment (transmitters) and the Q-Sense as recommended below, according to
the maximum output power of the communications equipment.
