the restricted content you must first complete our This section lists the more common questions our customers have about the moorLDI2™ system. If you have a question you would like answered that does not appear below then please email us. We are happy to help!
Q. What is the SH02 used for?
A. The SH02 can be used to regulate the blood flow measurement temperature or it can be used to affect reproducible skin temperature changes as a stimulus for blood flow change.
Q. Is the SH02 a stand-alone skin-heating controller?
A. Yes, the SH02 can be used in a stand-alone mode or it can be controlled by a DRT4, moorLDI or moorVMS-PC software. The latter allows convenient connection of a number of skin heating and iontophoresis modules and full flexibility in the protocol set up
Q. Can the SH02 be remotely controlled?
A. Yes, the SH02 can be remotely controlled by the moorVMS-PC software, moorLDI or DRT4 where individual protocols detailing temperature and duration can be programmed (via PC software).
Q. What is the temperature range of the SH02?
A. The SH02 has a measurement range of 0-50°C and a heating range of 20-45°C (or ambient to 45°C, if the ambient temperature is greater than 20°C). Important: Ensure the temperature selected is appropriate for the subject to avoid risk of local burns.
Q. Can both channels of the SH02 be set to different temperatures - i.e. controlled independently?
A. Yes, the SH02 probes can be at different temperatures within each time period.
Q. Do you have to have two probes connected to the SH02 for it to work?
A. No, the SH02 will work with only one probe connected.
Q. Do I need to calibrate the SH02 probes?
A. There is no user calibration of the heater probes and new probes are supplied calibrated. We recommend annual factory servicing in order to ensure the system is operating within specification.
Q. When buying new probes for my SH02, do I have to return the SH02 to calibrate the new probes?
A. No, new probes are calibrated by Moor Instruments without the need of returning the SH02.
Q. Can I iontophorese and heat at the same time?
A. Yes, use the SH02-SHP2 digit-heating probe in the ION1r Iontophoresis chamber. moorVMS/ moorVMS-PC allows simultaneous control of both skin heating and iontophoresis protocols.
Q. What optic probes do I use with the SH02?
A. When using a VMS, you need to use a VP12. For the DRT4 you need to use a DP12-V2. When using a moorLAB you need to use a MP12-V2 and when using an MBF3D you need to use a P12-V2.
Q. What adhesive discs do I need to order for my SH02 probes?
A. SH02-SHP1 you need to order SHADs.
SH02-SHP2 you need to order PADs.
SH02-SHP3 you need to order IADs.
Q. Does the SH02 come with a warranty?
A. Yes, there is a 2-year warranty included with the purchase of a SH02 (the heating probes are covered by a 6 months warranty).
Q. What standards does the SH02 meet?
A. The SH02 meets the following standards:-
IEC 601-1:1988 including amendment 1, 1990 and Amendment 2, 1995.
BS EN 60601-1:1990 Medical Electrical Equipment General Requirements for Safety including AMD6715 1990, AMD7940 1995, AMD9693 1997.
