Safety Guidelines

设备安全

注:以下安全指南仅适用于从 PRC-Saltillo 或其子公司购买的设备。

紧急情况

  • 本设备不是紧急呼叫设备,也不可作为唯一的沟通工具。

改装

  • 请勿擅自改装本设备、模块或任何配件。改装可能会造成安全隐患,并导致设备无法正常运行。

污染物

  • 为了防止细菌、灰尘和污垢进入人体,请勿让用户啃咬本产品。

清洁、维护与保养

  • 设备使用过程中请勿进行维修或保养。清洁设备前,请断开它与充电器的连接,并关闭设备。

  • 如果本设备、模块或配件损坏,请致电联系服务部门寻求帮助。请勿尝试自行修理。

配件

  • 请勿使用手册中未列明的配件、可拆卸部件或材料。

  • 请勿以手册中未载明的任何其他方式使用配件、可拆卸部件或材料。

安装与定位

  • 应由符合资格的专业人员分析设备定位方式,以防用户出现重复性应力损伤。

  • 应由符合资格的专业人员安装和调整任何支架,包括开关支架。如果不按照制造商说明书安装支架系统,可能会导致用户受伤。

  • 请勿将装有眼动跟踪或头部跟踪模块的设备放置在难以操作或难以与充电器断开连接的位置。

  • 确保双手置于支撑脚背面,并远离支撑脚与设备之间的缝隙,以防夹伤。

  • 如果拆下支撑脚,它可能会戳伤眼睛,存在潜在安全风险。

视力和听力

  • 沟通协助者应确保用户经常休息,以避免眼疲劳。

  • 请咨询视力保健专业人员,了解如何调整设备位置以满足用户需求。

  • 使用耳塞式耳机或头戴式耳机时音量过大或声压过高,则在长时间使用后可能会导致听力受损。请将音量设置为较低水平,仅调至用户可以舒适收听的程度即可。

端口和连接器

  • 保持端口和连接器清洁,以最大限度地延长设备的使用寿命。脏污的线缆连接器会将污染物转移到设备上的配套连接器,并可能会降低性能。

  • 如果设备曾被暴露于水,则必须确保完全擦干每个 USB 端口,然后将 USB 线缆插入端口。若要清除 USB 端口内的水分,请将设备每个 USB 端口朝下摇晃数次,然后使用超细纤维布将设备擦干。然后,应再次检查 USB 端口区域。如果任何 USB 端口内仍有可见水分,请重复摇晃和擦干步骤。

  • 请勿强行将连接器插入端口。请务必将连接器插入正确的端口并转动连接器,使其方向与端口方向一致。

小部件、电源线、线缆和绑带

  • 电源线、线缆和绑带都是潜在危险物,可能会导致用户被缠绕或勒住。将这些物品交给设备用户使用之前,请务必考虑这一点。

  • 定期目视检查线缆、电源线和连接器是否有损坏或磨损,尤其是在承受额外压力的位置。线缆和电源线可能会因频繁使用或老化而磨损或损坏。例如,已磨损的线缆可能会导致电池充电器/电源适配器短路,从而对用户构成危险。如果任何线缆、电源线和连接器已损坏或磨损,请致电联系服务部门进行更换。

  • 拔下线缆或电源线时,应握住连接器,不要拉扯线缆或电源线本身,以避免损坏或磨损。

  • 充电或传输词汇文件时,请务必按照本手册中的说明使用配套线缆。

  • 触控笔可能会戳伤眼睛,存在潜在安全风险。

  • 如果安装头部跟踪或眼动跟踪模块,松动的螺丝可能被误吞,存在窒息风险。

  • 小部件和松动的适配器可能会造成窒息或其他危险。

  • 如果设备曾被暴露于水,则必须确保完全擦干每个 USB 端口,然后将 USB 线缆插入端口。若要清除 USB 端口内的水分,请将设备每个 USB 端口朝下摇晃数次,然后使用超细纤维布将设备擦干。然后,应再次检查 USB 端口区域。如果任何 USB 端口内仍有可见水分,请重复摇晃和擦干步骤。

  • 本设备适用于正常沟通场景。设备不具备防水功能。请勿将液体直接喷洒或泼溅到设备上,并且在水边使用时应格外小心。与大多数电子设备一样,切勿在水中(例如泳池或浴缸)使用本设备。

高温

  • 请勿将设备或模块放入微波炉或烤箱等电器中,不可置于明火附近,也不可放置在炉灶、加热器等热源表面或附近。

  • 切勿将设备或模块长时间留在高温的车内。

电池和充电

  • 为设备充电时,请务必按照本手册中的说明进行操作。

  • 请勿将任何异物插入充电端口。这样可能会导致端口损坏。

  • 为了避免触电及设备损坏,请勿在设备潮湿的状态下或在可能受潮的环境中为设备充电。请勿用湿手操作设备、充电器或电源线。

  • 充电时,请将设备放置在安全、干燥的地方。请勿在室外为设备充电。

  • 请勿让充电器接触水,并避免水或其他液体溅到充电器上。

  • 如果充电器或充电器线损坏,请致电联系维修部门进行更换。

环境

  • 请勿将设备带入富氧环境(例如手术室、氧气帐篷等)。

  • 请勿在可能存在爆炸性或易燃气体的环境中使用本设备。

接触表面

  • 设备充电时,如果皮肤破损部位接触设备表面,可能会加重伤口病情。

植入式医疗器械

手持式无线设备与植入式医疗设备(例如心脏起搏器、植入式心脏复律除颤器、迷走神经刺激器、分流器或支架)之间应保持至少 6 英寸的距离,以避免对医疗器械造成潜在的磁场干扰。使用植入式医疗器械的用户:

  • 应始终保持设备与植入式医疗器械之间至少有 6 英寸的距离;

  • 不得将设备放在胸前口袋中;

  • 如果怀疑设备会对植入式医疗器械造成干扰,应移开设备;

  • 如果在调整软件音量时音量过大或声压过高,则在长时间使用后可能会导致听力受损。请将音量设置在较低水平,仅调至用户可以舒适收听的程度即可。

  • 如果软件停止运行,请联系服务部门。


眼动跟踪安全

注:以下安全指南仅适用于从 PRC-Saltillo 或其子公司购买的带有眼动跟踪模块的设备。

疲劳

  • 用户在适应眼动跟踪系统的过程中应频繁休息,以放松眼睛,减缓视疲劳。

  • 有些用户在开始习惯眼动跟踪时可能会感到一定程度的视疲劳(由于需要刻意聚焦视线,并保持高度专注),甚至是眼睛干涩(由于眨眼次数减少)。如果您感到视疲劳或眼睛干涩,请循序渐进地适应,并将眼动跟踪模块的使用时长限制在舒适的范围内。使用保湿眼药水有助于缓解眼睛干涩。

癫痫发作

  • 有些用户可能会因闪光或图案刺激而引发癫痫发作。即使此类人群之前从未出现过癫痫发作,也可能会在观看连续展示的图片或视频时发生这种情况。请密切监测使用本设备的用户状态。如果用户出现以下症状或类似症状,请立即将其带离设备并咨询医生:不自主运动、定向障碍、抽搐、意识丧失或视力异常。

红外辐射

  • 眼动跟踪系统使用红外 (IR) 技术。某些医疗器械容易受到红外辐射的干扰。在靠近此类易受影响的医疗器械时,请勿使用眼动跟踪系统。如果您对医疗器械是否易受红外干扰有疑问,请咨询医疗器械制造商或医疗服务提供者。

  • 如果您对医疗器械是否易受眼动跟踪系统中使用的红外技术干扰有疑问,请咨询医疗器械制造商或医疗服务提供者。
