2- SAFETY PRECAUTIONS2.2 PRECAUTIONARY INSTRUCTIONS (CONTINUED)<strong>Vectra</strong> <strong>Genisys</strong>®/Intelect Legend XT®/ Intelect® Vet Therapy Systems• Use of controls or adjustments or performance ofprocedures other than those specified herein may result inhazardous exposure to ultrasonic energy.• Before administering any treatment to a patient you shouldbecome acquainted with the operating procedures foreach mode of treatment available, as well as the indications,contraindications, warnings and precautions. Consultother resources for additional information regarding theapplication of Electrotherapy and Ultrasound.• To prevent electrical shock, disconnect the unit fromthe power source before attempting any maintenanceprocedures.• Keep electrodes separated during treatment. Electrodes incontact with each other could result in improper stimulationor skin burns.• Long term effects of chronic electrical stimulation areunknown.• Stimulation should not be applied over the anterior neckor mouth. Severe spasm of the laryngeal and pharyngealmuscles may occur and the contractions may be strongenough to close the airway or cause difficulty in breathing.• Stimulation should not be applied transthoracically in thatthe introduction of electrical current into the heart maycause cardiac arrhythmia.• Stimulation should not be applied over swollen, infected,and inflamed areas or skin eruptions, e.g., phlebitis,thrombophlebitis, varicose veins, etc.• Stimulation should not be applied over, or in proximity to,cancerous lesions.• Output current density is related to electrode size. Improperapplication may result in patient injury. If any questionarises as to the proper electrode size, consult a licensedpractitioner prior to therapy session.• The <strong>Vectra</strong> <strong>Genisys</strong> Therapy System optional modules andassociated accessories are designed for use only with theChattanooga Group <strong>Vectra</strong> <strong>Genisys</strong> Electrotherapy andCombination Therapy Systems.• Remove the Ultrasound or Laser Applicator by pulling thecable connector only. DO NOT remove by pulling the cable.• Stimulus delivered by the TENS waveforms of thisdevice, in certain configurations, will deliver a charge of25 microcoulombs (μC) or greater per pulse and maybe sufficient to cause electrocution. Electrical currentof this magnitude must not flow through the thoraxbecause it may cause a cardiac arrhythmia.• Patients with an implanted neurostimulation devicemust not be treated with or be in close proximity toany shortwave diathermy, microwave diathermy,therapeutic ultrasound diathermy or laser diathermyanywhere on their body. Energy from diathermy(shortwave, microwave, ultrasound and laser) can betransferred through the implanted neurostimulationsystem, can cause tissue damage, and can result insevere injury or death. Injury, damage or death canoccur during diathermy therapy even if the implantedneurostimulation system is turned “off.”• Handle, clean and dispose of components andaccessories that have come in contact with bodilyfluids according to National, Local and Facility rules,regulations and procedures.• DO NOT connect the unit to an electrical supply withoutfirst verifying that the power supply is the correctvoltage. Incorrect voltage may cause unit damage,malfunction, electrical shock, fire, or personal injury. Yourunit was constructed to operate only on the electricalvoltage specified on the Voltage Rating and SerialNumber Plate. Contact your dealer if the unit is notproperly rated.• When the unit is on, not all wavelengths are visibleto the naked eye. Therefore, when performing anyoperational or functional check, make certain all personsin the vicinity of the laser wear Chattanooga Group laserprotective eyewear.• DO NOT point the laser beam directly into human oranimal eyes. The lens of the eye does not detect theinvisible, coherent laser beams, potentially resulting inpermanent retinal damage.• Class 3B Lasers are considered an acute hazard to theskin and eyes from direct radiation. Eye injury will occuris laser is viewed directly or from specular frelection. Eyeprotection is required for all persons in the treatmentarea.• Power Supplies retain High Voltage!• NiMH batteries contain Class E corrosive materials. In theevent of battery cell rupture or leakage, handle batterymodule wearing neoprene or natural rubber gloves.Contents of a ruptured or leaking battery can causerespiratory irritation. Hypersensitivity to nickel can causeallergic pulmonary asthma. Contents of cell coming incontact with skin can cause skin irritation and chemicalburns.• Never, under any circumstances, open the batterycells. Should an individual cell from a battery becomedisassembled, spontaneous combustion of the negativeelectrode is possible. There can be a delay betweenexposure to air and spontaneous combustion.• Charge the Battery Module according to theinstructions found in this manual. Never attempt tocharge the Battery Module on any other chargingmechanism.• Use the Battery Module only with the <strong>Vectra</strong> <strong>Genisys</strong>Therapy Systems.• Do not reverse the polarity of the Battery Module. Doingso can increase the individual cell temperature andcause cell rupture or leakage.• Never dispose of Battery Module in fire. Never shortcircuit the battery. The battery may explode, ignite, leakor get hot causing serious personal injury.• Dispose of NiMH batteries according to national, stateand local codes and regulations.6
