This User Guide introduces you to QTUG (Quantitative Timed Up and Go), and helps you quickly learn how to perform
a mobility assement or a falls risk assessment on a patient. For detailed information about the QTUG application, refer
to the application help-files, which you access through the QTUG Help Menu. The User Guide also contains useful
information about configuring QTUG, transferring data files from the tablet to a PC or microSD card for organizing your
QTUG patient files, and using all of the QTUG features.
Intended Use
QTUG is intended to measure gait and mobility parameters for automated, quantitative gait and mobility assessment
via a Timed Up and Go test, using body-worn inertial sensors.
Indications for Use
QTUG is indicated for use with patients who would benefit from assessment of mobility and falls risk.
Thank you for purchasing QTUG
Please read this user guide throroughly before using QTUG. This guide includes important safety information.
Please keep the user guide for future reference.

Read these safety messages carefully.
This device contains an RF transmitter. It is also an intentional RF receiver and even if other equipment complies with
CISPR emissions requirements, those devices may interfere with the operation of this device.
Radio Information Transmit Characteristics: 2.4GHz Bluetooth radio using GFSK, DQPSK, and 8DPSK modulation and
75kHz bandwidth. Frequency Range in MHz: 2400-2483.5. Output Power in dBm: 5-6.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the EMC limits for the Medical Device Directive 93/42/EEC
(EN 55011 Class A and EN 60601-1-2).
These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a typical medical
installation. The equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in
accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to other devices in the vicinity. However, there is no
guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference
with other devices, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to
correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
Important Safety Information

•Reorient or relocate the receiving device.
•Increase the separation between the equipment.
•Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the other device(s) is connected.
•Consult the manufacturer for help.
The use of portable and mobile RF equipment may have an impact on this and other pieces of medical equipment.
The use of accessories, cables, or transducers other than those specified in this manual can significantly increase
emissions performance and degrade immunity performance of the product. Also, by using an accessory, transducer,
or cable with the product, other than those specified in this manual, it becomes the responsibility of the third-party
supplier or the user of the product, to determine compliance with the requirements of IEC 60601-1-2 when using this
item.
CAUTION
It is prudent to separate all electrical equipment that is very close in distance to the QTUG system. If it is essential to use the QTUG
system very close to other electrical equipment, it is prudent to determine, by observation, if the performance of either product is
affected by unintended electromagnetic coupling.
WARNING
It is advised not to use equipment other than the following devices listed by manufacturer (Kinesis QTUG sensors with Bluetooth
radio) stacked on or near the product, but if it is required for your location to stack or use equipment that is adjacent to the product, all
must be verified to work and verification shall occur to ensure the product operates properly before conducting any procedures.
WARNING
No modification of this equipment is allowed.
