General Information Installation and servicing instructions Device continuity maintenance and installation test
During installation, assembly and operation, some protective ground connection points are susceptible to becoming electrically detached or not properly connected. This can pose a safety hazard to both the user and patient. It is recommended/required that you perform regular electrical continuity tests from exposed conductive materials on the medical system to the protective ground on the medical system. Regular testing will help ensure that proper protective grounding is maintained. This test should always be performed after installation and maintenance. Additionally, this test should be performed on a regular maintenance basis.

Assembling a Nicolet EDX Portable System About this chapter This chapter describes how to connect the components for systems configured with a portable or laptop type of computer. Carefully read this entire section before beginning any of the procedures. If you have any questions, please contact your local Natus Neurology Incorporated service representative. IMPORTANT: Because of the various types of laptop computers that may be used with the system, only generic references will be used to describe the laptop cabling. Please refer to your laptop's User Guide to locate the appropriate connectors. The cable connector shapes may vary from those shown in the following figures. When finished with this procedure, go to Chapter 4 for the software installation instructions.
