Lifelines Ltd. Photic Stimulator Quick Start Guide

The Photic Stimulator is a solid-state electronic device for generating short-duration flashes of white light. In EEG, this is used to assess a patient's photosensitivity, i.e. sensitivity to flashing lights. The Photic Stimulator must only be used by a competent healthcare professional.

The User Manual will be found on the enclosed CD. Please read this before using the Photic Stimulator and pay particular attention to all Cautions and Warnings.
