4.2 Adjusting the device

to the patient

Note!

For the following adjustments, the
patient‘s arm should not yet be placed
on the armrest. After you have adjusted
the device to the approximate patient
measurements, the patient can place
his/her arm on the armrest for a check
of the setup and for the ine adjustment.

The settings are numbered 1 through
5. For easy orientation, you will ind
the same numbers on the CPM device.
Always set up the CPM device in this
order.

write the settings down on the back of
the patient‘s chip card.

before you adjust the ARTROMOT®-
E2/-E2 compact to the patient, you may
have to convert the device for use on
the left or right elbow joint. (see section
6.4 Conversion)

before any treatment is possible, adjust the
device as follows:

ARTROMOT®-E2:
backrest, armrest

before you start setting up the device for
the exercise protocol, you must adjust it to
a position that is anatomically correct for
the respective patient.

• Open thumbscrew (10) and adjust the

backrest to a position that is comfort-
able for the patient (Fig. F).

• set the armrest for the healthy arm to a

height that allows the patient to sit up
straight (locking screw 14).

ARTROMOT®-E2 compact:
positioning the chair and the
CPM device

before you start setting up the device for
the exercise protocol, you must adjust it to
a position that is anatomically correct for
the respective patient.

• Only use chairs with four legs and

without armrests. The patient must be
seated safely and straight on the chair.

• Once you have set up the ARTROMOT®-

E2 compact, lock the brakes (22) of the
castor wheels (25).

4.2.1 Adjusting the

ARTROMOT®-E2
to the patient

Note: The individual steps are illustrated
on page IV.

a,b and c Horizontal
Extension/Flexion (Fig. A)

horizontal adduction/abduction is set
manually. it is the purpose of the adjust-
ment to achieve congruent axes of the
motor axis and the elbow joint.

• To begin with, press knob (1). leave it

engaged in the open position.

• now open screw (2). The double joint

now moves freely.

• set the motion element with motor A to

the appropriate position. Make sure that
a congruence of the axis of motor A and
the elbow joint is achieved.

• Push knob (1) in the opposite direction.

• Tighten screw (2).

;

Height adjustment (Fig. B)

before opening locking screw (4), hold the
moving part of the CPM device by grasping
the double joint (3), to prevent the part
from falling down.

• Open screw (4) and set the motion ele-

ment to the appropriate height. Ensure
that the entire upper arm lies on the
support (5). The patient should sit up
straight and be relaxed.

• Tighten screw (4).

• now check the agreement of the axis of

motor A and the elbow joint. if required,
make a ine adjustment of the vertical
orientation, using locking pin (6).

Note: See device description on
pages II / III and VIII / IX.

4.1 Connecting the

ARTROMOT®-E2/-E2 compact,
performance check

The equipment supplied includes these
items:

base unit (chair/stand with castors),
motion element, programming unit (15),
patient chip card (17), arm rest (chair model
only - 4), power cord (not shown), operat-
ing instructions

1. set up the device and connect the re-

quired cables by reversing the transport
instructions given in section 6.3.

2. Follow these steps to set the carriage to

the

home position

Initial adjustment for new
patients

write the patient’s name down on the
back of the chip card. insert the original
patient chip card (17) into the program-
ming unit (15).

Press the

key on the programming

unit seven times in rapid succession or
give it one long press to access program-
ming level seven (with each key press, you
advance one level).

Press the “new patient” parameter key

and select this function (a check

mark appears in the circle next to the
function).

Press the

START

key. The CPM device

automatically enters the

home position

Adjustment with
programmed chip card

insert the original patient chip card (17)
into the programming unit (15).

Press the

START

key.

The CPM device automatically moves to
the

starting position

(middle position of

the set extension/lexion and pronation/
supination values).

Performance check

if the programming unit can be operated
as described above and the

ARTROMOT®-E2/-E2 compact moves to
the home position (for home position val-
ues, please refer to sections 5.3), the CPM
device has passed the performance check.

The device also runs performance checks
regularly during operation. This is what
happens, if a problem is identiied:

− An audio signal sounds.

− The device switches of 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 unit by turning it briely of
and on again with the power switch.
with the unit switched of, check that
all plugs are correctly connected. switch
the unit on again: if the error message
persists, have the unit inspected by a
service technician, before using it again.

if it has been determined that the
ARTROMOT®-E2/-E2 compact operates
perfectly, ask the patient to sit down on
the ARTROMOT®-E2/-E2 compact chair.
