General Operating Instructions

This section describes the operation of the BioniCare Hand System for
the treatment of osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis of the hand. Each
patient should read and become completely familiar with the written
operating instructions.

Preparation and Treatment

Charging the Battery for the Signal Generator:
The Signal Generator is powered by a single rechargeable Lithium Ion
battery. The battery charger fully charges the battery in four hours. Use
only the charger supplied by VQ OrthoCare as improper charging can
cause heat damage or even high pressure rupture. Do not use any battery
that shows any signs of corrosion, leaking or other damage. Replace
corroded, leaking or damaged batteries.
Preparation:
Prior to applying the BioniCare device, the wrist and hand must be washed
with soap and water. The wrist and hand do not need to be dried completely;
they can be left moist. Remove all jewelry from the hand and wrist.
