4.2 Adjusting the device to the
patient
Note!
For the following adjustments, the pa-
tient's arm should not yet be placed on
the armrest. After you have adjusted the
device to the approximate patient mea-
surements, the patient can place his/her
arm on the armrest for a check of the
setup and for the fine adjustment.
The settings are numbered 1 through 5.
For easy orientation, you will find the
same numbers on the CPM device.
Always set up the CPM device in this
order.
Write the settings down on the back of
the patient's chip card.
Before you adjust the ARTROMOT®-E2/
-E2 compact to the patient, you may
have to convert the device for use on the
left or right elbow joint. (see section 6.4
Conversion)
Before any treatment is possible, adjust the
device as follows:
ARTROMOT®-E2:
backrest, armrest
Before you start setting up the device for
the exercise protocol, you must adjust it to
a position that is anatomically correct for
the respective patient.
• Open thumbscrew (10) and adjust the
backrest to a position that is comfort-
able for the patient (Fig. F).
• Set the armrest for the healthy arm to a
height that allows the patient to sit up
straight (locking screw 14).
ARTROMOT®-E2 compact:
positioning the chair and the
CPM device
Before you start setting up the device for
the exercise protocol, you must adjust it to
a position that is anatomically correct for
the respective patient.
• Only use chairs with four legs and
without armrests. The patient must be
seated safely and straight on the chair.
• Once you have set up the ARTROMOT®-
E2 compact, lock the brakes (22) of the
castor wheels (25).
