Note!
Refer to section 5.2 for a description of
the parameters.
− To prevent accidental changes of the
parameter settings, you can lock
the buttons. To do so, simultane-
ously press controls "Extension" and
"Speed" for approx. 4 seconds.
Press both controls again for approx.
4 seconds to unlock.
− Emergency stop function: The
ARTROMOT®-K1 classic will stop im-
mediately, when any of the controls is
pressed during therapy. Patient treat-
ment can be resumed by pressing the
START/ STOP button. The device will
automatically change the direction of
movement.
− If the carriage is positioned within
the programmed range of motion at
the time therapy starts, the therapy
session will start immediately.
If the carriage is positioned outside
the programmed range of motion at
the time therapy starts, it will first
enter the position "extension +10°".
The carriage will stop in this posi-
tion and you can initiate the therapy
session by pressing the START/STOP
button again.
− The manufacturer recommends an
application period of up to 1 hour.
− For a uniform, smooth and gentle
transition between the two directions
of motion, the speed is automatically
reduced before reaching the reversal
point and, on reaching the reversal
point, it is continuously increased
until it reaches the set speed.

n Speed
The speed can be adjusted in steps of 5%
between 5% and 100%.
Default setting: 50 %
n Pauses
Pauses occur at the selected limits
where stretching turns into bending and
bending into stretching (selected exten-
sion and flexion values). The configured
value applies to both extension and
flexion pause.
Pauses can be set to any value between
0 and 59 seconds in steps of 1 second,
and to values between 1 and 59 minutes
in steps of 1 minute.
When selecting the seconds, the value
changes in 1-second steps for the first
5 seconds. Subsequently the interval
changes to 5-second steps.
The minutes are always adjusted in
1-minute steps.
