Battery life
You should be aware of expected battery life of the device under usage conditions relative to the
anticipated duration of usage of the Synapse Mobility application and ensure that the device is adequately
charged.
Software user profile
There are two profiles for intended users of the Synapse Mobility software:
1. Referring physicians who refer their patients to the institution or organization controlling the
Synapse Mobility software for imaging studies. Referring physicians who wish to review
images, in addition to reviewing the radiologists' final report of findings, to enable them to
confirm their treatment plans and communicate with the patient.
2. Diagnostic imaging specialists at the institution or organization controlling the Synapse Mobility
software. The solution can be used for diagnostic reading of images.
Your reading environment
It is essential that your reading environment be optimal for using the Synapse Mobility software. This
includes considerations such as screen brightness settings, viewing angles, and lighting conditions, as
described below.
Your device's screen
To ensure optimal viewing conditions, you must set the display brightness to the maximum value and
disable any automatic brightness features on the viewing device. Be aware that other applications can
change the screen brightness setting and you must ensure the recommended settings are in place prior to
each use.
View the screen straight on (perpendicularly)because image accuracy degrades with viewing angle.
Your device’s screen should be clean and free of dirt, smudges and fingerprints prior to viewing medical
images.
Lighting conditions
You should familiarize yourself with the viewing characteristics of the device under various lighting
conditions prior to actual use.
The software should not be used in outdoor lighting or high ambient light conditions.
Position yourself and the device so that there are no visible reflections of objects or light sources on the
screen. To avoid specular reflections, take special care to move to a location without bright light sources
such as windows, light boxes, bright walls, and overhead lighting. Examine the display in your device’s
sleep or off mode for visible reflections and reorient yourself or the display until they are not present.
The ambient lighting environment should be assessed such that illumination is equivalent to radiology
reading rooms.
Ambient light assessment
You should perform a light test as described below to ensure that ambient light conditions are appropriate
for use. Validated mobile devices have been tested for diagnostic use at light levels up to 300 lux which is
the maximum recommended light level.
