Trigno Base Station Power Supply Trigno Systems are equipped with an isolated medical grade power supply. The green power LED on the base station will illuminate when power is connected to the Base Station. The power supply is provided with interchangeable country-specific plug adapters. Please contact Delsys if specialized adapters are required. The power supply can be conveniently stored in the Base Station storage space when the system is not in use. Figure 3. Trigno Power Supply 10 TrignoTM Wireless EMG System User’s Guide Trigno System are specifically designed and approved to function only with the provided Power Supply. Power Supply substitutions constitute a violation of the medical safety approvals and will void the warranty. If using a mains-powered PC then an additional isolation transformer is required for medical compliance to IEC60601-1. Refer to Appendix I for further details. No PC isolation is required for operation on a battery-powered laptop. Sensor Adhesive Skin Interfaces Trigno sensors can be affixed to the body with convenient double-sided adhesive interfaces. Ensure that the sensor site is cleaned with isopropyl alcohol immediately prior to application. It is recommender to affixed the interface first to the sensor, taking care to properly align the sensor contacts with the slots, and then to the skin site. Figure 4. EMG Sensor Adhesive Skin Interfaces Adhesive Sensor Interfaces are for single use only. Immediately discontinue use if skin irritation or discomfort occurs. All Adhesive Sensor Interfaces and Reference Electrodes are for single use only. Discard after using. Reseal storage bag to maintain freshness. 11 Getting Started with the TrignoTM System Powering the Base Station Connect the Trigno power supply to the circular DC jack located on the side of the Base Station. Energize the power supply by connecting it to a Mains outlet or to an isolation transformer. Ensure that the PC to be used with the Base Station is connected to the same isolation transformer. Please refer to Appendix I for clarification on using an Isolation Transformer. The power LED on the Base Station will illuminate anytime power is applied. Ensure that the Base Station antenna is securely attached to the antenna connector. Charging the Sensors Before using the system, the sensors should be fully charged by placing them in the Base Station cradle slots. Ensure the Base Station is powered and that the green power LED is illuminated. When charging, the sensor LEDs will illuminate to an amber color. Once the sensor battery is fully charged the sensor LED will turn off. A blinking LED indicates an incomplete charge. Remove the sensor from the device and let stand for 5 minutes. Cycle power on the Base Station and re-dock the sensor to restart the charge cycle. A complete charge cycle form a fully depleted sensor takes approximately 2.5 hours. Recharge only with the approved power supply originally included with the system. Charging with any other power supply may damage the device and will void the warranty. Turing the Sensor ON Trigno Sensors are turned on by depressing the rubber button for approximately one second. The green LED on the sensor will immediately begin to flash, and begin searching for a Base Station within its range. If no Base Station is found, the LED will alternate between amber and green, indicating that it does not have an established communication link. As soon a link is established with the Base Station, the sensor LED will flash green approximately once per second, indicating that data is streaming. 12 TrignoTM Wireless EMG System User’s Guide Using EMGworks with the TrignoTM System Install EMGworks according to the instructions provided with the software. Define a Hardware Configuration and an appropriate Test as described in the EMGworks User’s Guide. Note that the sampling rate for Trigno Sensors is fixed 4000 samples/sec for EMG data and 296 samples/sec for accelerometer data. When the Trigno Test is initiated, the Trigno System Console will appear in a separate window. This console monitors the status of the Base Station and Sensors in real time to give the User appropriate feedback on battery voltage, number of dropped frames and makes available sensor settings such as accelerometer range and transmission channel selection. Note that the sensor must be turned on and linked to the Base prior to initiating data acquisition in EMGworks. 13 Using the Wireless EMG Sensors Orienting the EMG Sensors on the Skin The Trigno EMG Sensor is fitted with 4 silver bar contacts for detecting the EMG signal at the skin surface. It is crucial that the orientation of these bars be perpendicular to the muscle fibers for maximum signal detection. The top of the sensor is shaped with an arrow to aid in the determination of this orientation. The arrow should be placed parallel to the muscle fibers underneath the sensor. The sensor should also be placed in the center of the muscle belly away from tendons and the edge of the muscle. The sensor is easily attached to the skin using the Delsys Adhesive Sensor Interface. Muscle Fiber Direction Figure 5. EMG Sensor orientation with respect to the muscle fibers. It is important that the orientation of the arrow on the sensor be parallel to the underlying muscle fibers. 14 TrignoTM Wireless EMG System User’s Guide Using the Delsys Adhesive Sensor Interface The Adhesive Sensor Interfaces use medical-grade adhesive specifically designed for dermatological applications. Usage of the interface promotes a high quality electrical connection between the sensor bars and the skin, minimizing motion artifacts and the ill-effects of line interference. To ensure a strong bond with the skin, it is advised to remove excessive hair and wipe the skin area and the EMG Sensor with isopropyl alcohol to remove oils and surface residues. Allow the skin to dry completely before applying the interfaces. 1) Remove the interface from its strip and apply to the sensor. 2) Remove liner to expose the adhesive. 3) Apply to the skin site. Do not reposition once skin contact is made. Figure 6. Application of the Adhesive Sensor Interface. Adhesive Sensor Interfaces are for single use only. Immediately discontinue use if skin irritation or discomfort occurs. All Adhesive Sensor Interfaces and Reference Electrodes are for single use only. Discard after using. Reseal storage bag to maintain freshness. 15 Maintenance and Care Trigno Sensors Trigno sensor are encased in a sealed polycarbonate enclosure. The following points should be kept in mind when handling the sensors. • All sensors should be visually inspected before each use to ensure that no mechanical deterioration has occurred. • The sensors can be cleaned and sterilized with a damp cloth and mild detergent, with isopropyl alcohol swabs, or with a 70% isopropyl alcohol solution. Ensure that the sensor contacts remain clean at all times for proper operation. • The sensors are completely sealed and are water-resistant. These can be used on damp skin surfaces and in the presence of sweat without compromise to safety, sensor integrity or operation. The sensors should never be completely submerged in any liquid. • The sensor contacts are made of pure silver and are quite soft. Care should be taken to preserve the integrity of these contacts. Do not scrape or dent these contacts. • Handle the sensors with care: do not drop them on the ground or step on them. Do not submerge the sensors in any liquid under any circumstance. The sensors contain sensitive electronic circuitry. Static discharges and intense magnetic fields should be avoided to prevent possible irreparable damage to the sensors. Recharging Base Station The Trigno System is designed to provide years of reliable service when proper care is followed. While the Base Station enclosure is made of durable plastic, the following points should be kept in mind when using and handling it: • The device and its accessories should be visually inspected before every use to ensure that no mechanical deterioration has occurred. 16 TrignoTM Wireless EMG System User’s Guide • The Base Station can be easily cleaned with a damp cloth and mild detergent or with a 70% solution of isopropyl alcohol. DO NOT IMMERSE THE BASE IN LIQUID. • The units are not shockproof and should not be dropped or be subjected to excessive forces or accelerations. The recharging Base Station is not water-resistant. Under no circumstance should this unit be exposed to water or any other type of liquids. 17 Specifications Trigno Sensors GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS Typical Operating Range 10 m Transmission Source 2.4 GHz, 1 mW Power Consumption <66 mW Case Dimension 41 x 20 x 5 mm Case Material polycarbonate Operation Time/charge >8 hours Recharge Time <2.5 hours Mass < 10g Auto Shut-down timer 5 minutes (1) 5 - 50 degrees Celsius Temperature Range EMG SENSOR SPECIFICATIONS Resolution (EMG Signal) 168 nV/bit, 16 bits Range 11 mV (r.t.i.)
