Operating Sequence Example; Chapter 6 - Maintenance (By The User); Technical Maintenance; Cleaning Of The Apparatus - Enraf Nonius Eltrac 471 Mode D'emploi

In intermittent traction , the traction force has to be
set first, followed by the base force.
Changeover from static to intermittent traction
To change from static to intermittent traction, addi-
tionally the base force parameter must be set and, if
required, the hold times (traction force and base
force) and the changeover speed.
Changeover from intermittent to static traction
To change from intermittent to static traction during
treatment, it is sufficient to set the base force to the
same value as the traction force. The ELTRAC 471
will automatically switch to static traction after 10
seconds.
Termination of treatment
a. automatically at the end of the treatment time,
b. by pressing the start/stop push-button,
c. by pressing the patient stop switch.
