The Photic Stimulator is a solid-state electronic device for generating short- duration flashes of white light. In EEG studies where epilepsy is typically being diagnosed, photic stimulation is used to assess the patient’s photosensitivity.

CAUTIONS & WARNINGS:
- The Photic Stimulator must only be used by a healthcare professional, within a hospital or clinical setting, who has the training and knowledge to ndertake EEG examinations and is familiar with EEG equipment and practice. This user manual must be read in its entirety before the equipment is used.
- There is a small risk that photic stimulation can induce a seizure in photosensitive patients. For this reason photic stimulation should only be carried out with strict adherence to an approved photic stimulation protocol. The methods used in the protocol should maximize the probability of eliciting abnormal responses in patients with photosensitive epilepsy, while minimising the chances of inducing such a response in others or of precipitating a seizure during testing. Bystanders should be excluded from the treatment area.
- WARNING: Do not modify this equipment without the authorization of the manufacturer.
