ABOUT TRACTION THERAPY
•
Use only tables, stands, power cords and accessories that are
specially designed for the Triton traction unit. Do not use accessories
manufactured by other companies on the Triton traction unit.
Chattanooga Group is not responsible for any consequence resulting
from using products manufactured by other companies. The use
of other accessories or cables may result in increased emissions or
decreased immunity of the Triton traction unit.
•
Do not use other accessories other than those supplied with the
system or recommended by Chattanooga Group. The safety of other
products has not been established, and their use could result in injury
to the patient.
•
To prevent accidental disengagement, this unit must be securely
attached to the mounting surface of the pedestal or traction stand. It
is the responsibility of the user to verify the adequacy of the
installation before use in therapy.
•
Do not apply electrodes over broken or compromised skin (e.g.,
sunburn, cuts, acne) due to increased risk of skin reactions.
•
Do not plug lead wires into power outlets such as wall sockets and
line cord receptacles. Doing so could result in severe shock or burns
whether or not the lead wires are attached to the unit.
•
In the event that an Error message or Warning appears beginning
with a 2 or 3, immediately stop all use of the system and contact
the dealer or Chattanooga Group for service. Errors and Warnings
in these categories indicate an internal problem with the unit that
must be tested by Chattanooga Group or a Field Service Technician
certified by Chattanooga Group before any further operation or use
of the unit. Use of a unit that indicates an Error or Warning in these
categories may pose a risk of injury to the patient, user or extensive
internal damage to the unit.
•
Disconnect the traction unit from the power source before attempting
any maintenance, installation, removal, or replacement procedures to
prevent electrical shock and possible damage to the unit.
•
The traction unit should only be used by a qualified licensed
practitioner in a position of supervision during therapy. For that
reason, do not attempt to put yourself in traction with this unit.
•
Handle, clean, and dispose of components and accessories that
have come in contact with bodily fluids according to National, Local
and Facility rules, regulations and procedures.
•
Do not connect the unit to an electrical supply without first
verifying that the power supply is the correct voltage. Incorrect
voltage may cause unit damage, malfunction, electrical shock, fire,
or personal injury. Your unit was constructed to operate only on the
electrical voltage specified on the Voltage Rating and Serial Number
plate. Contact your Chattanooga Group dealer if the unit is not
properly rated.
•
Should Traction Cord fray or damage to the Traction Cord or knot be
apparent from visual inspection, immediately stop use of the unit
and contact the Dealer or Chattanooga Group for service.
•
Do not attempt to repair the Traction Cord.
•
An improperly tied knot may result in injury. Do not attempt to
re-tie the knot unless properly trained.
•
Not for use in the presence of flammable anesthetics.
