INTRODUCTION

Congratulations on your new purchase. The footscan® gait, footscan® footwear adviser and

footscan® balance systems are developed to perform state-of-the-art pressure measurements, for clinical or scientific use. User friendly software creates the opportunity to have accurate and reliable pressure and timing data in no time. Barefoot and shod measurements in a static and dynamic way can be performed with the

footscan® gait software.

This guide will assist you with the installation of the footscan® advanced & hi-end balance software,

the footscan® Calibration File and the footscan® hardware. Please follow the instructions step by step.

The footscan® Calibration File is unique and matched to the footscan® plate serial number. Before

installing, verify if the footscan® plate serial number matches the serial number written on the

footscan® Calibration File Installer CD. Note that the footscan® Calibration File supplied for 2nd

generation systems is not compatible with legacy SCSI interface boxes.

If the footscan® 2nd

balance software is installed on footscan® advanced & hi-end systems delivered before June 2007 or the Pressure Sensitive Layer (PSL) has been replaced before June 2007, the

footscan® Calibration File is not applicable and the default calibration file will be used.

If the footscan® Calibration File is already installed on your system (during the installation of

the footscan® advanced & hi-end gait and footwear adviser software), the footscan®

Calibration File installation can be skipped. It is recommended to disconnect the footscan®

system during the installation of the footscan® USB2 balance software.

PN 80000054 RS-PRD-00122-05

INTENDED USE

• The footscan® state-of-the-art pressure measurement system is intended for the measurement of static and dynamic pressures and the analysis of balance and gait patterns of human beings.

• Operation, interpretation of the measurements and prescription of treatment or orthotic corrections should be done by trained professionals.

• As part of our continuous quality improvement process, RSscan International invites you to

provide feedback on our footscan® systems, contact information is located on page 5.

GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION

• All users should read the user guides before using the footscan® system, the user guides should be available to users at all times.

• Prior to the measurement session, the patient should be instructed on how to walk or run over

the footscan® plate.

• Should the patient incur injury due to use or malfunction of the footscan® system, providing

all precautions are taken, the footscan® system is well maintained and used as intended, report such event to the manufacturer RSscan International.

INSTALLATION AND OPERATIONAL SAFETY

• All equipment connected directly or indirectly to the footscan® system (PC and peripherals, force plate, trigger device, synchronized camera, …) has to be configured in accordance with the EN 60601-1 standard. Consult a qualified technician when in doubt.

• Ensure a safe distance of 1.5m between the patient and any of the above mentioned equipment (except equipment required for the measurement such as a force plate) or other equipment not compliant with the EN 60601-1 standard.

• Use only the supplied EN 60601-1 approved external power supply with the footscan® 2nd

generation interface box. Using other power supplies may violate the safety standard of the product and increase the risk for the patient.

• Use an approved, grounded mains cable with the power supply of the footscan® 2nd

generation interface box.

• Power down the entire setup when connecting or disconnecting equipment.

• Do not place the footscan® system (plate, cable …) adjacent to equipment or power lines which generate strong electromagnetic or electrostatic fields, relocate if necessary.

• Do not operate or store the footscan® system outside the specified environmental

temperature and humidity range, do not expose the footscan® system to direct sunlight, do

not expose the footscan® system to moisture.

• Install the footscan® plate on a solid, non-skid surface, ensure the plate is fully supported and the entire patient runway is non-skid.

• Install the footscan® plate in a runway which is long enough to allow the patient to walk or run in a natural gait pattern.

• To eliminate the height difference between the floor and the footscan® plate, either recess

the footscan® plate in the floor or use a raised runway (available from RSscan International or its local distributors).

PN 80000054 RS-PRD-00122-05

• It is recommended to use a top cover for the entire runway to provide more comfort for the patient and avoid targeting (available from RSscan International or its local distributors).

• Avoid direct contact between the measurement surface of the footscan® plate and damaged skin, use appropriate isolation methods.

• Protect the measurement surface from high impact or sharp objects. Dents or damage to the measurement surface can influence the measurement and can permanently damage the Pressure Sensitive Layer and electronic components. Use a protective cover when performing such measurements, for example a layer of 3-5mm EVA material (Ethylene Vinyl Acetate sheets).

• Protect the footscan® plate cable and connectors from accidental damage. Ensure nobody can trip over the cable. Use a cable conduit or other means to cover and protect the cable.

• Do not bend any of the footscan® cables in a sharp angle.

• Do not lift the footscan® plate by its cable, never pull the cable.

• Power down the footscan® system when not in use.

• When not in use, store your footscan® plate flat (measurement surface up) or in its

packaging or flight case. Do not store the footscan® plate vertically without adequate support (cable always pointing upwards), do not put any weight on the measurement surface.

• Do not use unsuitable or unapproved third party accessories or non-original spare parts, this can cause malfunctions or incorrect measurements and void warranty.

SAFETY INSPECTIONS

• Prior to each measurement session, visually inspect the measurement surface of the

footscan® plate, do not use the footscan® plate if the protective sticker or rubber is loose or damaged to such an extent that the patient could trip or get injured. Replacement stickers and rubbers can be ordered from RSscan International or its local distributors.

• Prior to each measurement session, visually inspect the cables and patient runway, ensuring maximum safety for the patient while being measured.

• On a weekly basis, inspect all cables and connections. All cables except the plate cable can be replaced by the user, replacement cables are available from RSscan International or its local distributors.

• On a yearly basis, verify the electrical safety of the external power supply for the footscan® 2

nd generation interface box and all equipment connected directly or indirectly to the

footscan® system.

MAINTENANCE OF THE MEASUREMENT SURFACE

• To ensure patient safety, clean and, if applicable, disinfect the measurement surface of the

footscan® plate between subsequent patients.

• The measurements surface can be cleaned and disinfected with a suitable disinfectant, for example Huwa-san TR-5 (5% H2O2).

• Do not pour or spray the cleaning or disinfectant product directly on the footscan® plate, use a damp cloth to remove contamination.

• Make sure the measurement surface of the footscan® plate is completely dry before use.

• Do not use aggressive cleaning or disinfectant products that are harmful to PVC, polycarbonate plastic or rubber.

• Do not use solvent based, flammable or abrasive cleaning or disinfectant products.

• Do not submerge any part of the footscan® system into water or other liquids.
