– Before cleaning and service inter-
ventions, disconnect the device
from the power line by removing the
power cord from the wall outlet.
– Liquids must not be allowed to enter
the CPM device or the programming
unit. If liquids have entered into the
devices, ARTROMOT®-SP must be
immediately checked by a service
technician, before it can be reused.
Warning!
Equipment malfunction –
− Magnetic and electrical fields are
capable of interfering with the proper
performance of the device. For this
reason make sure that all external
devices operated in the vicinity of the
CPM device comply with the relevant
EMC requirements. X-ray equip-
ment, MRI devices, radio systems and
cell phones are possible sources of
interference as they may emit higher
levels of electromagnetic radiation.
Keep the CPM device away from
these devices and verify its perfor-
mance before use.
– Refer repair and maintenance to
authorized persons.
Persons are authorized after training
by a specialist trained and commis-
sioned by the manufacturer.
− Route all cables below the device
frame to either side, ensuring that
they cannot get caught in the moving
parts during operation.
– Inspect ARTROMOT®-SP for dam-
age and loose connections at least
once a year. Damaged and worn
parts must immediately be replaced
with original spare parts by autho-
rized sta .
Caution!
Preventing chafing and pressure sores –
If your patient is adipose, very tall or
very short, be sure to prevent chaf-
ing and pressure sores. Place the leg
concerned in a moderate abductive
position, if deemed appropriate.
Caution!
Equipment damage –
− Check that the voltage and frequency
ratings of your local power line are
those indicated on the nameplate.
– The leg support element withstands
a maximum continuous load of
20 kg.
– Do not allow any objects (such as
blankets, cushions, or cables) to get
caught in the moving parts of the
CPM device.
– Do not expose the ARTROMOT®-SP
device to direct sunlight, because
some of the components may reach
inadmissibly high temperatures.
Furthermore, the device must be set
up at a safe distance from radiators
to prevent excessive temperature
rises.
– The presence of children, pets and
rodents does not normally impair the
functioning of the device. However,
avoid contamination of the device by
children or animals, from dust and
lint, and keep them at a safe distance
from the device. The safety state-
ments set forth apply.
. Device setup
Note: For a better understanding of each
step, please fold out pages ΙΙΙ and VΙΙΙ.
. Connecting the
device, performance check
The equipment supplied includes these
items:
base unit, footplate bracket (11), footplate
(7), programming unit (22), patient chip
card (for ARTROMOT-SP with chip card
only), power cord (not shown), operating
instructions
1. Set up the device and connect the re-
quired cables by reversing the transport
instructions given in section 6.3.
2. Turn the power switch (16) on.
Caution!
Equipment damage –
Be sure to lift the moving bracket for
dorsal extension / plantar flexion (15) a
little, relieving the strain on it, before
you either press the locking pins for the
height adjustment together or loosen
the clamping lever for adjustment of the
inclination (5).
3. Release the locking device (19). To do so,
first relieve the strain on the carriage
by lifting the moving bracket for dorsal
extension / plantar flexion (15) a little.
Then press the two black pins of the
locking device together simultaneously
(Fig. A).
4. Set the carriage to an angle of approx.
60°, then release the pins of the locking
device. Check that the pins engage in
the perforation (20).
5. Again, hold the moving bracket for dor-
sal extension / plantar flexion (15) and
release the clamping lever for adjust-
ment of the inclination (5). Then lower
the moving bracket for dorsal extension
/ plantar flexion (15) until it forms an
angle of 45° with the base. Close the
clamping lever to lock the carriage in
that position (Fig. B).
6. Follow these steps to set the carriage to
the home position
