Preface
Indications for use statement The UltraPro S100 is intended for the acquisition, display, analysis, storage, reporting, and management of electrophysiological information from the human nervous and muscular systems including Nerve Conduction (NCS), Electromyography (EMG), and Autonomic Responses. The UltraPro S100 may be used to determine autonomic responses to physiologic stimuli by measuring the change in electrical resistance between two electrodes (Galvanic Skin Response and Sympathetic Skin Response). Autonomic testing also includes assessment of RR Interval variability. The UltraPro S100 is used to detect the physiologic function of the nervous system and to support the diagnosis of neuromuscular disease or condition. The listed modalities do include overlap in functionality. In general,
• Nerve Conduction Studies measure the electrical responses of the nerve. • Electromyography measures the electrical activity of the muscle. • Evoked Potentials (EP) includes Visual Evoked Potentials (VEP), Auditory Evoked Potentials (AEP), and Somatosensory Evoked Potentials (SEP). The UltraPro S100 is intended to be used by a qualified healthcare provider.

Preface
Safety summary In this manual, two labels identify potentially dangerous or destructive conditions and procedures:
The WARNING label identifies conditions or practices that may present danger to the patient and/or user.
The CAUTION label identifies conditions or practices that could result in damage to the equipment. NOTE: Notes help you identify areas of possible confusion and avoid potential problems during system operation.
Do NOT use outside of the published specification ranges. Use of device outside of the specified ranges may result in inaccurate results.
Aliasing of the displayed data can occur if the time base and the data displayed are not appropriate for the data acquired. Example, if the time base of a response normally displayed at 10 milliseconds is displayed at a time base of 1 second the data will be decimated and aliasing will occur. Remember to adjust the time base to be appropriate for the type of signal being acquired. Slow (long responses) should be displayed with a long time base, short (fast responses) should be displayed at a short time base.
Prolonged electrical stimulation can cause a patient burn.

Preface
Maintenance Inspecting the system
Routinely check the instrument for exterior damage.
Decontamination
Decontamination that can be performed by the operator is limited to cleaning and disinfecting the device. Any maintenance inside the device must be performed by qualified service personnel only.
Cleaning instructions
Regular cleaning maintenance should be performed according to frequency of use of the device. Always observe your local hygiene authority’s guidelines, and the following points below:
Follow your medical facilities safety guidelines.
• Disconnect the mains power before cleaning the equipment. • Clean the equipment surfaces with a clean, slightly damp cloth with a mild detergent (e.g., Wet Wipes®), and wipe it dry. • Make sure that no liquids enter the device at push buttons and other openings in the enclosure. Do not use cleaning detergents, or cleaning agents based on solvent, silicon-based, abrasive and/or flammable substances.
Disinfection procedure
When disinfecting the equipment, if required, surgical spirit (70%), a Chlorine (1000ppm), or ethanol (70%) detergent may be used. Carefully follow the disinfectant manufacturer’s instructions for use, and the steps under the Cleaning Instructions section above.

Preface
Safety Any interruption of the protective earth conductor inside or outside of the device or disconnection of the protective/functional earth connector is likely to make the device dangerous. Intentional interruption is prohibited. The protective earth / ground conductor should be checked regularly. Adhere to the following recommendations for safe operation of the device:
• When connecting medical equipment being supplied from an outlet located in a non-medically used room, or when connecting non-medical electrical equipment to this device, pay attention to the requirements of IEC 60601-1 (IEC 60601-1-1), Safety Requirements for medical electrical systems, cf. the text on IEC 60601-1 (IEC 60601-1-1), further below in this section. • When the device is connected to its mains supply, connectors may be live, and any opening of covers or removal of parts possible only with the aid of a tool is likely to expose live parts. • The device must be disconnected from all voltage sources before being opened for any adjustment, replacement, maintenance or repair. • Service must be referred to Natus Neurology Incorporated authorized service personnel, except for such works described in this manual as being performed by the operator. • Make sure that only fuses with the required rated current and of the specified type are used for replacement. The use of makeshift fuses and the shortcircuiting of fuse holders are prohibited. • Where more than one piece of equipment is connected to the patient, attention must be paid to the summation of patient leakage currents. • Whenever it is likely that the protection has been impaired, the device shall be made inoperative and be secured against any unintended operation. Call qualified service personnel to conduct at least a functional test and a safety check that should include the following: • Insulation test. • Ground continuity test. • Leakage current test, according to IEC 60601-1. The protection is likely to be impaired if, for example, the device:
• Shows visible damage. • Fails to perform the intended function(s). • Has been subject to severe transport stresses.
