Note: For a better understanding of each
step, please fold out pages III and VI!
4.1 Connecting the device,
performance check
The equipment supplied includes these
items:
base unit, control pendant (19), power cord
(not shown), instructions for use
1. Connect the control pendant (19) to the
provided socket (14) by plugging it in and
closing the bayonet lock.
2. Connect the power cord to socket (15) of
the device and connect the power plug
to a wall outlet with a non-fused earthed
wire (100–240 Volt, 50/60 Hz).
3. Turn the power switch (17) on.
4. Follow these steps to set the carriage to
the home position:
Press the Extension control,
and, holding it depressed, rotate until
30° appears in the display above the
control.
In the same manner, select a Flexion
value of 35°.
Then press the START/STOP button.
When the carriage has reached this
range and does not stop automatically,
press the START/STOP button again to
stop any movement.
Note!
The ARTROMOT®-K1 classic will stop
automatically in the home position
range, only if it was positioned outside
this range (30° to 35°) at the time of
programming (also refer to 5.2)
Performance check
If the control pendant can be operated as
described above and the ARTROMOT®-K1
classic enters the home position (for home
position values, refer to section 4.1), the
device has passed the performance check
and functions correctly.
The device also runs performance checks
regularly during operation. This is what
happens, if a problem is identified:
− An audio signal sounds.
– The device switches off immediately.
− The message ERROR and an error code
(e.g. ERROR 5) appear on the display.
In this situation, you may attempt to
restart the device by turning it briefly off
and on again with the power switch. With
the CPM device switched off, check that all
plugs are correctly connected. Switch the
CPM device on again: if the error message
persists, have the device inspected by a
Service technician, before using it again.
4.2 Adjusting the device to the
femur length
1. Measure the length of the patient's
thigh (femur) from the greater trochan-
ter to the lateral knee joint cavity (Fig. A).
2. Set the carriage to the home position
(see 4.1).
3. Adjust the measured value at the femur
scale (3) of the carriage (Fig. B):
− Loosen the two fixation screws (4).
− Extend the scale (3) to the required
length.
− Tighten the fixation screws (4) to set
the scale to the new length.
Caution!

Equipment damage –
Do not attempt to extend the femur
scale beyond the stop.
