. Setting the treatment values
Warning!
Patient hazard –
Before therapy, a test run consisting of
several exercise cycles must be com-
pleted without the patient. Then repeat
the test run with the patient and check
that the movement does not cause any
pain.
Note!

. General information
on programming
ARTROMOT®-SP
1. You activate the programming mode by
briefly pressing the MENU key on the
programming unit.
2. The treatment parameters and func-
tions are allocated to four (Standard
model) or six (Comfort model) program-
ming levels (four per level).
To be able to program a parameter you
will have to access the corresponding
programming level. This is also done
with the MENU key. With each key press
you advance one level. The code M1, M2,
etc. that appears in the middle of the
display indicates the programming level.
3. You activate the treatment parameters
and functions with the four parameter
keys below the display. The symbols
above the four parameter keys indicate
the assigned parameters and functions.
This is what happens when you press
one of the parameter keys to select a
parameter:
– The corresponding symbol appears on
the display in a larger format.
– The set value is displayed.
– The symbol above the parameter key
appears in reverse video.
4. With the + / - keys (plus/minus) you
change the displayed value. When you
press and hold the key, the value will
change at a higher rate.
Some of the (special) functions can only
be enabled and disabled. This is done by
pressing the corresponding parameter
key or with the + / - keys. Active param-
eters are identified with a check mark in
the circle next to the symbol.
5. Having programmed all parameters,
press the STOP key to save the values.
6. Then press the START key:
ARTROMOT®-SP will check the set
values, it moves to the middle position
and stops.
7. Press the START key again to start
therapy.
In the synchronized mode, the carriage
will then move from the middle posi-
tion to the maximum eversion value.
Afterwards, the carriage will simultane-
ously move to the maximum inversion
value and to the maximum plantar
flexion value, and then simultaneously
to the maximum dorsal extension value
and the value halfway between inver-
sion and eversion. After reaching this
position, the cycle restarts: maximum
eversion at the same time as halfway
between dorsal extension / plantar
flexion, etc.
After activation of the START key in the
non-synchronized mode the motors
will perform random movements, each
motor reversing after reaching the
maximum values.
Note!
– Refer to sections 5.3 and 5.5 for a
description of the parameters.
– To view the set parameter values,
press the corresponding parameter
key. Before, however, you have to
press the STOP key and access the
correct menu level.
– To prevent accidental changes of the
parameter settings, lock the keys by
simultaneously pressing the + (plus)
and – (minus) keys.
Press both keys again to unlock.
– Selecting the „New Patient" function
will automatically delete the data on
the patient chip card. When you have
finished programming the unit and
press the STOP key, the settings will
automatically also be saved to the
patient chip card.
– Emergency stop function:
ARTROMOT®-SP will stop immedi-
ately, when any of the keys is pressed
during therapy. When the START key
is pressed in the synchronized mode,
the carriage will move to the position
halfway between the set values,
and stops. Patient treatment can be
resumed by pressing the START key.
When the START key is pressed again
in the non-synchronized mode, the
carriage will reverse its direction.
Patients with
a programmed chip card
– First complete the mechanical
adjustments.
– Then insert the chip card (the patient is
not yet positioned on the CPM device).
– Press the START key: the device will
move to the middle position of the
parameters stored on the chip card and
stops.
– Position the patient on the CPM device
and press the START key to initiate
therapy.
