1.3 Intended Use
The Tobii Dynavox I-Series is an Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) product, a purpose-built Speech
Generating Device (SGD) designed to provide to its users increased communication ability and greater independence.
The Tobii Dynavox I-Series is intended primarily to provide, and act as, a compliment to everyday communication for peo-
ple that have challenges in their ability to speak due to injury, disability or illness. This intended use is reflected in design
features such as long lasting batteries, superior sound quality, high durability, built in environmental control and alternative
input methods.
The Tobii Dynavox I-Series is a device with optional Tobii Eye Tracker and a capacitive touch screen for touch access. The
device is intended to be used on a mounting arm, or standing upright on an appropriate surface. In addition to eye gaze
and touch the device can be operated through switch scanning, mouse, keyboard or a combination of all four.
The Tobii Dynavox I-Series is designed primarily for face-to-face communication and secondarily for long distance commu-
nication, computer access and environmental control. The Tobii Dynavox I-Series allows the user to communicate via text
or symbols to generate text-to-speech or play back recorded messages, for face-to-face communication. The user can also
display their messages on the outwards facing display on the back of the device. The Tobii Dynavox I-Series allows users
to compose text messages (SMS) and e-mails through adapted interfaces, or access third party apps and services for on-
line communication, such as Skype or Facebook.
With the Tobii Dynavox I-Series, users have the freedom and flexibility provided via the Microsoft
®
Windows 10
environment.
The Tobii Dynavox I-Series meets the definition for medical equipment; and is registered as a Class I medical device with
the Swedish Medical Products Agency, and as Class II durable medical equipment with the US FDA. The Tobii Dynavox I-
Series is available in two sizes (13.3 and 15.6); and is available as a dedicated (locked) Speech Generating Device. The
Tobii Dynavox I-Series device does not sustain or support life. In case of failure of the Tobii Dynavox I-Series device, the
user should have a low-tech backup solution for communication.
Contraindication: The Tobii Dynavox I-Series device should never be, for the user, the only means of communi-
cating important information.
In case of failure of the Tobii Dynavox I-Series device, the user cannot communicate using it.
