User and Service Manual XLTEK EEG32U Amplifier
19
Do NOT touch any earth-grounded components of the EEG32U amplifier and the patient simultaneously.
Do not use the EEG32U amplifier with HF surgical equipment.
Do not allow loose electrodes to contact metal parts.
The patient event switch attached to or on the EEG32U amplifier or other XLTEK device is not intended for
critical patient-safety-related incidents.
Do NOT use the XLDetect montage with custom channel labels.
As with all medical equipment, carefully route patient cabling to reduce the possibility of patient entanglement
or strangulation.
Transportation Warnings
Make sure that any platform, table, cart, or other surface used during the operation, transport, or temporary
or permanent storage of the system and its components is adequate, sturdy, and safe. Natus is not responsible
for any injury or damage that may result from inadequate, poorly constructed, or unapproved transports,
carts, or operating surfaces. Natus is not responsible for any injury or damage that may result from improper
cable storage during transport.
TIPPING HAZARD: During transport, the user should guide the cart using both hands, ensuring the wheelbase is
aligned so that a single caster leads in the direction of motion. Failure to lead the cart with one wheel could
result in a tipping hazard when ascending or descending steps or thresholds.
Conducted Immunity Warnings
In environments where parasitic electrical noise interferes with the electrical biologic signal, there is no risk of
misinterpretation of EEG waveforms or ancillary data. Any abnormal pattern or out of range value is confirmed
by trained medical professionals performing the test. In addition to ancillary data, the accompanying EEG
(Electroencephalograph) amplifier’s signals will also be contaminated past the point where any clinical signal
interpretation is possible. Trained electroencephalographers and technologists are well equipped to identify
and disregard signals that are obscured by environmental noise.
