NOMENCLATURE
PENDANT FUNCTIONS AND USE
Oscillation Zone ™ : When the carriage reaches the
Programmed Flexion Angle, it will oscillate between the
Programmed Flexion Angle and 10° less than the flexion
angle, three times. The 10° range of motion is known
as the Oscillation Zone ROM. While in the Oscillation
Zone ROM, the carriage will move at 75°/min. or the
Programmed Speed, whichever is slower. On the third
oscillation cycle, the carriage will hold at the flexion angle
for the Programmed Extension/Flexion Delay Time. See
Chart 3.
How to Use: While pressing and holding the Mode
button, press the Oscillation Zone button to enable the
Oscillation Zone mode.
NOTE: If both Fast Back ™ and Oscillation Zone modes
are enabled, the carriage will move at the slower of
75°/min. and half of the Programmed Speed while in the
Oscillation Zone ROM.

OptiFlex® 3 Continuous Passive Motion (CPM) Therapy Unit
Progressive ROM ™ : When Progressive ROM is activated,
the unit will automatically increase the Programmed
Flexion Angle by 1° every hour, up to a maximum of 5° per
24 hour period. See Chart 4.
How to Use: Press and hold the Mode button. Press the
Progressive ROM button to enable the Progressive ROM
mode. Set the desired Final Flexion Angle by pressing and
holding the Flexion Button while using the Up and Down
Arrows. Accept the Final Flexion Angle by pressing the
Mode Button.
NOTE: The unit must run for a full hour at the entire ROM
before the flexion angle will be increased. Decreasing the
flexion angle will automatically deactivate this mode.
