Clinician's Guide
• Ensure that the handheld is operating and communicating with the appropriate computer before
starting a training session.
Warnings
• Incorrect patient data entry or incorrect patient retrieval may cause the patient to fall and/or
serious injury.
• Do not place a patient that weighs less than 30 lbs. (13 kgs.) or more than 500 lbs. (227 kgs.) in
the Vector Gait & Safety System.
• Do not exceed recommended weight limits or otherwise misuse the equipment. The equipment
can dislocate and fall causing serious injury.
• Do not lift the patient too high or have the patient ascend/descend high stairs where they might be
injured from the trolley.
• Do not touch the motorized Vector Elite trolley during a training session. The trolley contains
moving parts that could cause injury if touched.
• In an emergency such as an electrical outage, stop exercise immediately to avoid injury and turn
off the power switch located on the power station.
• Do not attempt to service or repair the Vector Elite system or electrocution may occur.
• Modifying the Vector Elite system equipment voids the warranty.
• Do not use the Vector Elite system if maintenance is required; serious injury may occur.
• In the event of power failure, carefully remove patient from the harness and step away from the
equipment.
• Do not use equipment if the Vector Elite trolley has become wet (e.g., from sprinklers) as there is
a risk of electrocution. Servicing is required before the equipment may be used.
• To avoid risk of electric shock, this equipment must only be connected to a supply mains with
protective earth.
• The Vector Elite system is not intended for patient transport. Using the system as a transport could
cause serious patient injury.
• Manually moving the trolley along the track by pulling on the Support Rope, could damage the
Vector Elite system.
• The Vector Gait & Safety System may only be operated by a trained health care professional.
• The use of accessories not specified by the manufacturer may result in injury and/or increased
emissions, or decreased immunity of the equipment, affecting its performance.
• There is a possibility of electromagnetic interference with other devices. When there is suspicion
of possible EMC interference to the Vector Gait & Safety System, it is recommended to shut down
the electrical devices nearby, one by one, to locate the possible interference source.
• Due to potential confusion about which computer is being used with which patient, a clinician
should not operate multiple computers at the same time.
• The Vector PC and Remote Control network configurations should not be modified without
direction from Bioness Support, including changing network connection or connection to the
