WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS cont.
WARNING: Movement of the Camera during the course of data acquisition may result
in inaccurate measurements. Efforts to immobilize the Camera during data acquisition
should be taken to restrict movement of the tracking system. If movement of the Camera
during data acquisition is observed or suspected, start the sequential data acquisition
process from the beginning in order to ensure accurate measurements.
WARNING: Do not transport or store the Camera outside the recommended storage
temperature range, as this may cause the system to go out of calibration. Reliance on
data provided by an out of calibration Camera may lead to inaccurate measurements.
WARNING: Do not obstruct the normal flow of air around the Camera (for example,
draping or bagging the Camera). Doing so will affect the Camera's operational
environment, possibly beyond its recommended thresholds. Reliance on data provided
by a Camera that is outside of recommended thresholds may lead to inaccurate
measurements.
WARNING: Reliance on data provided by the Camera without an uninterrupted optical
path may lead to inaccurate measurements.
WARNING: Do not use the NuVasive
Bendini
System Camera without inspecting it for
®
®
cleanliness and damage both before and during a procedure. Reliance on data provided
by an unclean or damaged Camera may lead to inaccurate measurements.
WARNING: Do not use the Spinal Rod Bender if the product is damaged in any way.
WARNING: Do not use the Array if the product is damaged in any way.
PRECAUTION: The long-term effects of cutaneous electrodes for electrical stimulation
and/or recording are unknown;
PRECAUTION: Improperly placed corkscrews may result in poor responses or no
responses, even with high electrical current stimulus.
PRECAUTION: Proper handling, insertion and placement of electrodes is critical for
safe and accurate EMG monitoring. Needles should be at least 1" apart. Please follow
your hospital's medical waste 'sharps' guidelines for proper and safe disposal of needle
electrodes.
PRECAUTION: Inspect all system components and packaging for damage before use. Do
not use sterile components if packaging is opened or damaged. If components are visibly
damaged, do not use the system.
PRECAUTION: Do not use alcohol to clean the Touch Screen on the Control Unit.
