Setting The Treatment Values; Important - DJO Global ARTROMOT-E2 Mode D'emploi

5. Setting the treatment values
m Warning!
Patient hazard —
Before therapy, a test run consist-
ing of several exercise cycles must be
completed without the patient. Then
repeat the test run with the patient
and check that the movement does not
cause any pain.
Note: See also 2.2 and 2.3
Note!
Programming is only possible when the
patient's chip card has been inserted.
For information about therapy param-
eters and programming of special func-
tions, please refer to sections 5.1 to 5.3.
see section 5.4 for programming
examples.

Important!

The programming unit
ARTROMOT®-E2/-E2 compact "Gra-
phics" can be connected to all products
of the ARTROMOT® family of elbow
CPM machines.
it is possible to exchange chip cards
between the "Text" and "Graphics"
versions.
Please note:
1. if a "Graphics" programming unit is
operating with a formatted "Text"
chip card
− the selected language of the
"Text" version remains activated;
it is irrelevant for the "Graphics"
version.
− the reverse on load setting saved
in the "Text" version is automati-
cally used for both motors.
− the key lock is disabled.
66
2. if a "Text" programming unit is op-
erating with a formatted "Graphics"
chip card
− the selected language automati-
cally changes to the default set-
ting: German.
− the reverse on load setting saved
for motor A in the "Graphics" ver-
sion is automatically used for both
motors.
− a key lock set in the "Graphics"
version will remain active, only
when no changes were made with
the "Text" version; the key lock
function is not an option with the
"Text" version.
5.1 G eneral information on
programming the
ARTROMOT®-E2/
-E2 compact
1. You activate the programming mode by
briefly pressing the MENU key on the
programming unit.
2. The treatment parameters and functions
are allocated to seven programming
levels (four functions per level).
To be able to program a parameter you
will have to access the corresponding
programming level. This is also done
with the MENU key. with each brief key
press you advance one level. The code
M1, M2, etc. that appears in the middle
of the display indicates the program-
ming level. To back up one level, e.g.
from level 2 to 1 or from level 1 to 7, hold
the MEnu key down for some seconds.
3. You activate the treatment parameters
and functions with the four parameter
keys below the display. The symbols
above the four parameter keys indicate
the assigned parameters and functions.
This is what happens when you press
one of the parameter keys to select a
parameter:
• The corresponding symbol appears on
the display in a larger format.
• The set value is displayed.
• The symbol above the parameter key
appears in reverse video.
4. with the + / - keys (plus/minus) you
change the displayed value. when you
press and hold the key, the value will
change at a higher rate.
some of the (special) functions can only
be enabled and disabled. This is done by
pressing the corresponding parameter
key or with the + / - keys. Active param-
eters are identified with a check mark in
the circle next to the symbol.
5. having programmed all parameters,
press the STOP key to save the values.
6. Then press the START key: the
ARTROMOT®-E2/-E2 compact checks
the set values, moves to the position
halfway between the set extension and
flexion values as well as to the set supi-
nation and pronation values and stops.
7. Press the START key again to start
therapy.
The CPM device will now begin with the
set physiological motion pattern in the
synchronized mode. The motor with
the larger range of motion operates at
the programmed speed, while the speed
of the second motor is adapted. This en-
sures that both motors will reach their
target positions at almost the same
time.
After activation of the START key in the
non-synchronized mode the motors
will perform random movements, each
motor reversing after reaching the
maximum values. The programmed
speed is valid for both motors.

Note!
− Refer to section 5.3 for a description
of the parameters.
− To view the set parameter values,
press the corresponding parameter
key. before, however, you have to
press the STOP key and access the
correct menu level.
− To prevent accidental changes of the
parameter settings, you can lock the
keys. To do so, simultaneously press
keys + and – for approx. 3 seconds.
Press both keys again for approx. 3
seconds to unlock.
− selecting the "new patient" function
will automatically delete the data on
the patient chip card. when you have
finished programming the unit and
press the STOP key, the settings will
automatically also be saved to the
patient chip card.
− Emergency stop function: when any
of the keys is pressed during therapy,
the ARTROMOT®-E2/-E2 compact
switches immediately off.
– when the START key is pressed again
in the synchronized mode and in the
non-synchronized mode, the carriage
will reverse its direction.
Patients with a
programmed chip card
• First complete the mechanical
adjustments.
• Then insert the chip card (the patient is
not yet positioned on the CPM device).
• Press the START key: the device will
move to the starting position as speci-
fied by the parameters stored on the
chip card and stops.
• Position the patient on the CPM device
and press the START key to initiate
therapy.
