Virtual SVV™ Instructions for Use – EN
Battery safety
1. The Virtual SVV™ handheld remote contains two rechargeable AA NiMH batteries. Read the
instructions in Chaper 6 Exchanging Batteries carefully before opening the battery compartment
and exchanging the batteries.
2. Only the VARTA Ready-to-use – NiMN AA 1.2V 2600mAh battery type may be used.
3. During the battery charging process the housing of the handheld remote may become warm. This
has no influence on the operation of the system, or on the operator or patient.
Patient safety
1. The base station is equipped with a USB interface for connection to a PC port. Note that the USB
interface is not galvanically isolated.
2. "External equipment intended for connection to signal input, signal output or other connectors shall
comply with the relevant product standard e.g. IEC 60950-1 for IT equipment and the IEC 60601-
series for medical electrical equipment. In addition, all such combinations – Medical Electrical
Systems – shall comply with the safety requirements stated in the general standard IEC 60601-1,
edition 3, clause 16. Any equipment not complying with the leakage current requirements in IEC
60601-1 shall be kept outside the patient environment i.e. at least 1.5 m from the patient support or
shall be supplied via a separation device to reduce the leakage currents.
3. Any person who connects external equipment to signal input, signal output or other connectors has
formed a Medical Electrical System and is therefore responsible for the system to comply with the
requirements. If in doubt, contact qualified medical technician or your local representative."
Additional precautions
1. Do not open the housing of the virtual reality goggle, the handheld remote or the base station. The
Virtual SVV™ devices may only be opened by authorized personnel.
2. Avoid equipment contact with hot or cold surfaces, chemicals, heavy dust or strong vibrations or
impacts. All Virtual SVV™ devices contain sensitivie electronic components that could be damaged.
3. The handheld remote draws current from the base station to charge the integrated battery and must
therefore not come into contact with dampness. If this should occur, the cable connected to the
virtual reality goggle must be disconnected and the handheld remote must be removed from the
base station immediately and be dried throroughly.
4. The base station draws current from the power adaptor and must therefore not come into contact
with dampness. If this should occur, the power adaptor must be disconnected immediately from the
AC outlet and the base station should be dried throroughly.
5. Always use the safety loop to secure the handheld remote to the patient's wrist to avoid any damage
via dropping or impact.
6. No component of the equipment may be altered or modified without the express permission of the
manufacturer.
Contact the manufacturer in case of suspected system fault or defect.
