− Before cleaning and service interven-
tions, disconnect the device from
the power line by removing the
power cord from the wall outlet.
− Liquids must not be allowed to en-
ter the CPM device or the program-
ming unit. If liquids have entered into
the devices, ARTROMOT®-S must
be immediately checked by a service
technician, before it can be reused.
Warning!
Equipment malfunction —
– Magnetic and electrical fields are
capable of interfering with the proper
performance of the device. For this
reason make sure that all external
devices operated in the vicinity of the
CPM device comply with the relevant
EMC requirements. X-ray equipment,
MRI devices and radio systems are
possible sources of interference as
they may emit higher levels of elec-
tromagnetic radiation.
Keep the CPM device away from
these devices and verify its perfor-
mance before use.
− Refer repair and maintenance to
authorized persons.
Persons are authorized after training
by a specialist trained and commis-
sioned by the manufacturer.
– Route all cables such that they will
not get caught in the moving parts
during operation and that they do
not present a stumbling hazard.
– Inspect the ARTROMOT®-S for
damage and loose connections at
least once a year.
Caution!
Preventing chafing and pressure sores
— When your patient is adipose, very
tall or very short, be sure to prevent
chafing and pressure sores.
Patient hazard, damage to the carriage
— Do not use the carriage to transport
patients.
Caution!
Equipment damage —
− Check that the voltage and
frequency ratings of your local
power line are those indicated on the
nameplate.
− The seat withstands a maximum
continuous load of 150 kg, the mo-
tion element of 12 kg.
− Do not allow any objects (such as
blankets, cushions, or cables) to get
caught in the moving parts of the
CPM device.
– Do not expose the ARTROMOT®-S
device to direct sunlight, because
some of the components may reach
inadmissibly high temperatures.
− Be aware that the connectors can
only be inserted in the correct ori-
entation and secure all connections
with the locks.
Furthermore, the device must be set
up at a safe distance from radiators
to prevent excessive temperature
rises.
− The presence of children, pets and
rodents does not normally impair the
functioning of the device. However,
avoid contamination of the device by
children or animals, from dust and
lint, and keep them at a safe distance
from the device. The safety state-
ments set forth apply.
