The ToFscan may temporarily not display result during transient electromagnetic disturbances such as the use of electrosurgery device. In that case, the ToFscan will maintain the safety of the patient and the user. Important Information about the use of this device The compact ToFscan is intended for use by health professionals (anaesthetists, doctors or fully qualified nurse anaesthetists) specially trained in the use of this instrument.
• A NOTE provides relevant information about a function or procedure. EXPLANATION OF THE SYMBOLS The symbols which may be displayed on the ToFscan screen are recapitulated and explained at the end of this section. Warning Risk of explosion: do not use the ToFscan in a flammable environment or in places where flammable anaesthetic products are accumulated.
Do not use if a part is damaged Handle the device with care to prevent any fall. The ToFscan should be used during a limited time on one patient at a time and cleaned between patients. The ToFscan can be used fully or partially during the surgery. The duration should not exceed 24H.

After an extended period of disuse (storage), recharge the ToFscan battery for at least 2 hours before use. If the ToFscan does not switch on when the wheel selector is pressed, the battery needs to be replaced. Only qualified technicians are authorised to carry out repairs or maintenance procedures with the consent of IDMED.
Prescription use device in USA Caution: USA federal law restricts this device to sale by or on the order of an anesthesiologist or other qualified practitioner. Symbols displayed on the ToFscan screen Battery level (green, yellow, Symbol for the intensity of the...
Menu selection The menus, options and various tests are accessed using the selection wheel on the front of the ToFscan. The user navigates through the various menus by turning the wheel (clockwise or anti-clockwise). To select a menu or function, press the wheel an release the wheel button(holding it down for less than 1 second).
If the power supply unit should malfunction, never use power supply units other than those supplied by IDMED. The ToFscan displays a power cut-off icon in the main menu. This enables the user to turn off the device by selecting this option pressing and holding the selection wheel.

ToFscan will help you getting a good impedance with a colored electrodes symbol. Only the green symbol allows to use in good condition the ToFscan. With yellow symbol the intensity of electric stimulation may be lower than expected. If the symbol is red the ToFscan doesn’t provide electric stimulations.
Using electrosurgery at the same time as the ToFscan can interfere with the measurement and its results. If the results are disturbed, the ToFscan will display the symbol “---“. Then the user can do the test again (while respecting the interval) or wait for the next test scheduled (“AUTO TOF” mode).
4th response against the first (ratio T4/T1 TOF as a %). If the T2 response is higher than the T1 response, the ToFscan calculates the T4/T2 ratio rather than T4/T1.
Tetanic stimulation or “TETANUS” stimulation is used to stimulate a patient for 5s at 50 Hz. As the ToFscan does not display a measurement at the end of this test, no user validation is expected at the end of the stimulation in order to reactivate the selection wheel navigation function.
ST Mode This is the simplest form of stimulation producing a single muscle contraction. The patient’s motor response is not measured by the ToFscan sensor but is visually gauged by the user. “Twitch” sub-menu Stimulation is activated by pressing (2s) the selection wheel.
The ECO sub-menu allows selecting the eco mode. “ECO” mode reduces the length of display to increase the time life of battery if the ToFscan is not connected to the power supply. If it is connected the display becomes inactive 6s after the last automatic measure and 40s after the last manual measure.
The ToFscan and its parts and accessories are non-sterile devices. Under no circumstances must the ToFscan or any of its accessories be sterilized. The surfaces of the ToFscan and its accessories have to be cleaned with a lint-free cloth moistened with a Quaternary Ammonium Compound (QACs), isopropyl alcohol 70%. Before using any of these solutions, refer to the manufacturer’s documentation and test on a reduced surface.
Unsorted electronic waste products are potentially hazardous to the environment. Packaging materials must be disposed of or recycled in accordance with the regulations in force.

Operating environment Reminders: Risk of explosion: do not use the ToFscan in a flammable environment or in locations where flam- mable anaesthetics may be accumulated. The ToFscan is not designed to operate in an environment where there are SCANNERS, M.R.I.’s or any other devices creating large magnetic fields.
VII Accessories The ToFscan (reference : TOF-MU) is delivered with a number of accessories. Here is a list of the main accessories with their designations and IDMED references. The complete accessories list is available from the ToFscan distributor. Accessories of medical device ToFscan...
