eego amplifier EE-21x EE-22x User Manual
Rev. 5, DRN-PDO-1664 6 of 26 2016-07-11
Reusable electrodes present a potential risk of cross-contamination. Please refer to the
documentation that came with your electrodes for instructions on how to prevent this.
Do not connect the device to a patient undergoing MRI, electro-surgery or defibrillation.
Do not modify the equipment. Never attempt to unscrew any parts of the amplifier.
Do not attempt to open the battery compartment of the amplifier.
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD: Do not connect electrode inputs to earth ground.
Connecting an earth ground might result in electrocution.
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD: Servicing of the equipment is to be done by approved
technicians only.
1.4.3 PRECAUTIONARY MEASURES
When the amplifier is not in use, please make sure to switch it off. The device will switch of
automatically after the batteries are discharged below a given limit. With batteries completely
discharged, the device can only be switched on while the power supply is attached.
The amplifier needs special precautions regarding EMC and needs to be installed and put into
service according to the EMC information provided in APPENDIX B: AMPLIFIER TECHNICAL
SPECIFICATIONS (EMC); the use of accessories other than specified may result in increased
emissions or decreased immunity of the eego amplifier.
The eego amplifier should not be used adjacent to or stacked with other equipment; if this is still
necessary, verify normal operation in the configuration in which it will be used. Do also not stack
multiple eego amplifiers directly on top of each other. Allow for some spacing of several cm in
between.
The use of portable and mobile RF communications equipment can adversely affect the
recording; do not use an operating cellular phone within 30 cm of the amplifier, the cables and
the electrodes to avoid excessive noise on the signals. See also in APPENDIX B: AMPLIFIER
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS (EMC).
Disposable electrodes which are used for electrophysiological measurements may pose a
biohazard. Handle, and when applicable, dispose of these materials in accordance with accepted
medical practice and any applicable local, state and federal laws and regulations.
1.4.4 WARNINGS
Safety and performance of the device are not guaranteed when it is used together
with accessories that were not explicitly listed as compatible.
The device is not defibrillator-proof.
The device is not suitable for use in an inflammable mixture of anesthetics and air, oxygen or
nitrous oxide.
No chemical agents are to be used with the device.
The device is not to be immersed in any liquid and should not be exposed to rain.
If any liquids or moisture penetrate the device or a part thereof, turn the device off, remove the
plug from the wall socket and have the device checked by the manufacturer.
Do not expose the device to direct sunlight, heat from a source of thermal radiation, excessive
amount of dust, moisture, vibration, or mechanical shock.
Do not wind the cables in a loop smaller than 5 cm or bend them sharply, as this may damage the
cables.
