Idmed ToFscan - Cautions and Handling

User Manual ToFscan 6
The output from electrical stimulation causes nociceptive stimulations and the intensity of
these stimulations must be adapted to the patient’s analgesic level.
Do not use the ToFscan on patients wearing pacemakers without verifying and identifying the
possible consequences. The user must take all the necessary precautions during the operation
for this kind of patient.
Prior to use, check that no other equipment, device or material is in contact with the electrodes.
Sensors and electrodes should only be in contact with clean and healthy skin
Prior to each use, check that the device, the display and the cables (electrodes and sensors) are
not damaged. Do not use if a part is damaged
Handle the device with care to prevent any fall.
The ToFscan should be used during a limited time on one patient at a time and cleaned between
patients.
The ToFscan can be used fully or partially during the surgery. The duration should not exceed
24H.
After positioning one of the sensors in contact with the patient, check regularly at least every 2 to
3 hours that the sensor does not cause excessive pressure or stress on the patient’s skin. If skin
