cm
some point of the line has been repeated.
• The stylus/tracing has overlapped the grid area.

Solution
Touch the box underneath the appropriate function

Do not press the side switch on the stylus.
Fit the holes in the tracing grid over the pegs on VISITRAK
Digital. If available, place the coversheet on top of the
tracing grid and secure over the pegs on VISITRAK Digital.
Hold the coversheet/tracing grid on VISITRAK Digital
surface using the unoccupied hand. Press the stylus side
switch in close proximity to the tracing grid, and place
the stylus at the start point of the tracing to activate the
tracking symbol in the display. Trace the wound outline
on the grid, whilst ensuring that minimum pressure is
applied to the grid by the stylus. Do not lift the stylus
while tracing and remain within the grid area. Start and
finish the tracing at the same point. You will hear an
audible BEEP to indicate a successful trace.
For large wound areas requiring multiple tracing grids,
only the wound area can be measured.
Touch the tracing grid with the stylus and the unit will
reactivate. Proceed with the next function.
New batteries should be purchased and
inserted into the unit.
