4.2 Connecting the external
muscle stimulator¹
Caution!
m
Patient hazard, equipment malfunction –
Only the ARTROSTIM®-FOCUS®plus
muscle stimulator with EN 60601-1
approval, manufactured by ORMED GmbH,
may be connected to the ARTROMOT®-K1
CPM device. Use the "muscle stimulation"
cable (part no. 2.0037.024) to connect
the muscle stimulator. Other cables are
not approved. The cable can be ordered
separately from DJO.
In addition, all such combinations –
Medical Electrical Systems – shall comply
with the requirements stated in clause
16 of IEC 60601-1. Any equipment not
complying with the leakage current re-
quirements in IEC 60601-1 shall be kept
outside the patient environment i.e. at
least 1.5 m from the patient support or
shall be supplied via a Separation trans-
former to reduce the leakage currents.
Any person who connects external
equipment to the device has formed
a Medical Electrical System and is
therefore responsible for the system to
comply with the requirements in clause
16 of IEC 60601-1. If in doubt, contact
qualified medical technician or your
local DJO representative.
1. Connect the jack plug to the
ARTROSTIM®-FOCUS®plus muscle
stimulator.
For control of an external muscle
1
stimulator, anARTROMOT®-K1 Comfort
device and the correspond-
ing connector are required.
2. Connect the round plug to connector
(14) of the ARTROMOT®-K1 and turn it
a short way clockwise to lock.
3. Turn on the ARTROMOT®-K1 first, then
turn on the muscle stimulator.
Note!
For information on connecting and
programming the muscle stimulator,
refer to the operation manual that comes
with the ARTROSTIM®-FOCUS®plus.
4.3 Adjusting the device to the
femur length
1. Measure the length of the patient's thigh
(femur) from the greater trochanter 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!
m
Equipment damage –
Do not attempt to extend the femur
scale beyond the stop.
4.4 Adapting the leg support
assemblies/footplate
1. Set the leg support assemblies and the
footplate (1, 6 and 11) to the expected
positions before accommodating the
patient.
− Loosen fixation screws (8) to adjust
the footplate (11) to the length of the
patient's lower leg (Fig. C).
Loosen clamping lever (13) and adapt the
footplate's rotation and height to the
patient (Fig. D).
