The electrodes are reusable as long as they are clean, still tacky, and
without any sign of visible damage. Replace the electrodes if they no
longer adhere to the skin properly.
Calibration
The CyMedica Orthopedics e-vive™ System does not require equipment
calibration. Each e-vive™ stimulator is tested prior to shipment. Its
characteristics do not vary under normal operating conditions.
8. 4 O pera t ing Co ndi tion s
The e-vive™ device should be operated in temperatures between 50°F
and 104°F (5°C and 40°C), atmospheric pressures between 70 and 106
kPa, and relative humidity between 15% and 90%. If the device has
been stored or transported at the extremes of the recommended
storage temperatures, the user should allow the unit to acclimate at
room temperature for about 45 minutes prior to operating the device.
8. 5 T ran spo rta tion an d S to rag e C ond itio ns
The e-vive™ device should be transported and stored in temperatures
between -13°F and 158°F (-25°C and 70°C), atmospheric pressures
between 50 and 106 kPa and relative humidity between 10% and 93%.
8. 6 S hel f Li fe or Use B y Dat e In for mat ion
The shelf life or Use By Date requirement applies only to the electrodes
and electrode gel. The shelf life of the electrodes and electrode gel are
specified on the e-vive™ system individual package label.
8. 7 E xpe ct ed Ser vic e L ife and Di spo sa l In for mat io n
The e-vive™ controller and NMES conductive garment are expected to
provide at least one year of normal use.
Replace electrodes when they begin to deteriorate or lose adhesion.
Poor contact between the electrodes and the patient’s skin increases
the risk of skin irritation or burns. Electrodes will last longer if used and
stored according to instructions on electrode packaging.
