ABOUT TRACTION THERAPY
•
Read, understand, and practice the precautionary and operating
instructions. Know the limitations and hazards associated with using
sEMG, DTS Pull Patterns and the Triton traction unit. Observe the
precautionary and operational decals placed on the unit.
•
DO NOT operate this unit in an environment where other devices
are being used that intentionally radiates electromagnetic energy
in an unshielded manner. Portable and mobile RF communications
equipment can affect Medical Electrical Equipment.
•
This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency
energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the
instructions, may cause harmful interference to other devices in
the vicinity. However, there is no guarantee that interference will
not occur in a particular installation. Harmful interference to other
devices can be determined by turning this equipment on and off.
Try to correct the interference using one or more of the following:
reorient or relocate the receiving device, increase the separation
between the equipment, connect the equipment to an outlet on a
different circuit from that which the other device(s) are connected
and consult the Chattanooga Group Service Department for help.
•
This unit should be operated, transported, and stored in
temperatures between -18 C and 60° C (0° F and 140° F).
•
The unit should be routinely checked before each use to determine
all controls function normally.
•
Do not use electrodes that have been previously used as the
electrodes used with this unit are designed for single use only.
•
Do not operate the unit when connected to any unit other than
Chattanooga Group devices. Do not use devices manufactured by
other companies on Chattanooga Group equipment. Chattanooga
Group is not responsible for any consequence resulting from using
products manufactured by other companies.
•
Handle the unit with care. Inappropriate handling of the unit may
adversely affect its characteristics.
•
Before each use, inspect the Traction Cord for wear. Prolonged wear
on the cord will cause it to break, which may cause sudden release
of traction pressure on a patient.
•
Inspect lead wires and associated connectors for signs of damage
before each use. Replace damaged lead wires immediately before
any treatment is applied.
•
Always test the Patient Interrupt Switch cable before each use for
proper operation.
•
Do not use sharp objects such as a pencil point or ballpoint pen
to operate the buttons on the Touch Screen base as damage may
result.
•
Do not remove the cover. This may cause unit damage, malfunction,
electrical shock, fire, or personal injury. There are no user-serviceable
parts inside the unit. If a malfunction occurs, discontinue use
immediately, disconnect the Mains Power Cord from the outlet, and
consult the dealer for repair service.
•
Do not disassemble, modify, or remodel the unit or accessories.
This may cause unit damage, malfunction, electrical shock, fire, or
personal injury.
•
Do not use the traction unit near devices such as X-ray units or
diathermy units. These units may emit high frequency noise that
may affect the operation of the unit.
