5.1 General information on pro-
gramming ARTROMOT®-K1
classic
1. You activate a function by briefly press-
ing a control on the control pendant.
2. You select a treatment value by pressing
the respective control and turning it in
either direction.
You increase a value by turning the
control clockwise towards the + (plus)
symbol and you decrease a value by turn-
ing the control counterclockwise towards
the – (minus) symbol. For the first 5° the
values in the display change in steps of
1°, then the interval changes to 5° so that
you reach the target value faster.
During adjustment of the extension and
flexion angles, the values in the display
change as you turn the control after
pressing it.
When adjusting speed or pause, the in-
formation shown in the display changes
automatically as you press the control.
The selected parameter (speed or pause)
is immediately represented by its symbol
in a large format plus the current value.
(Also refer to 2.2.2).
The current value can be changed by
pressing and turning the control. When
you have set the new value, simply
release the control and the standard
display reappears automatically after
approx. 5 seconds (see also 2.2.1).
3. Subsequently press the START/STOP
button to start therapy.
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.
