Treatment Instructions

• The SpinalStim device should be worn each day for the number of hours
prescribed by a physician (a minimum of 2 hours/day).
• The SpinalStim device may be used at any time of day that is most
convenient for the patient.
• The device is programmed to reset the treatment clock daily at midnight
Central Standard Time, unless adjusted by a physician or Orthofix
representative for a different time zone.
• Hours worn prior to the reset time will be logged and stored in the device
for monitoring daily use compliance.
• The overall treatment duration (number of months/weeks) will vary based
on specific patient conditions as determined by a physician.
• Because the SpinalStim device is lightweight and portable, treatment
can be received while sitting, walking, reclining, sleeping, etc. However,
since each patient is unique, the overall activity level should be based on
physician instructions.

Timing of Treatment Sessions

• The SpinalStim device tracks the treatment time; this tracking (or timing)
begins when the device is turned on and at least one minute of
treatment is complete.
• The LCD shows a countdown of the daily treatment time remaining.
• To stop treatment at any point, simply press and hold the On/Off Button
until you hear a beep.
• To resume treatment, press the On/Off button again.
• The countdown will resume at the remaining treatment time.
• When daily treatment is completed, the device will automatically
turn off.

Charging the Battery

The SpinalStim device is powered by a rechargeable lithium-ion battery pack.
The battery pack will provide at least one full treatment before needing to be
recharged. A power supply to charge the battery is provided with the device.
Use only the Orthofix power supply to charge the battery (Part no. Orthofix

To ensure that the device is functioning properly, the SpinalStim device
constantly monitors battery voltage and the electrical signal. The LCD will
display a battery capacity symbol and the device will beep to alert the patient
when the battery is low and will soon need to be recharged.
The SpinalStim device should be charged before the first use and every day
after completing treatment. Do not wear the device while charging. The device
will not deliver treatment while charging.
