communication and/or access difficulties will rely heavily on
a VOCA (in this instance Grid Pad) to communicate given the
significant enhancement to expressive communication that a
VOCA often brings.
Although designed and manufactured to be extremely robust and
reliable, it is possible to lose function due to power loss or other
technical issues. For this reason, it should not;
• be used as a life supporting device.
• be relied upon for well-being.
• be relied upon as the user’s only way of making an emergency
call or alarm.
• be used to administer medicine.
• be relied upon as the only method of interaction with EC
devices.
It is also not intended to provide information which is used to take
decisions with diagnosis or therapeutic purposes.
When the device is working with other equipment, there may be
inference between device and connecting equipment. For this
reason, Grid Pad should not be used:
• in an MRI environment.
• in an X-ray environment
• in a military environment.
• in a harsh RF environment.
