Description of the Device

The OL1000 or OL1000 SC is very easy to use, comfortable to
wear, and safe to use . It is designed to create a magnetic field
that stimulates your broken bone to heal . You will not feel the
magnetic field the device produces when using it . The device
has a single "push button" to start your treatment and will
automatically shut off after 30 minutes . Each day you will hear
one beep when you start treatment and two beeps when your
treatment is complete . If you hear beeps before your 30-minute
treatment is finished, a picture will be shown on the display
screen . Refer to the Troubleshooting Information section on
page 13 for help . The device records the number of days that
it has been used, which will appear on the display screen . This
feature allows you and your doctor to keep track of your care .

When the Device Should not be used

• Do not use without the prescription of a doctor.
• Do not use the OL1000 or OL1000 SC if you have a synovial
pseudarthrosis (condition where scar tissue forms between
the ends of broken bone and prevents healing) .
• Do not use the OL1000 or OL1000 SC if you have a heart
pacemaker or defibrillator unless your heart doctor has
approved it .
• Do not use the OL1000 or OL1000 SC if you have an
implant made from magnetic materials at the site of your
non-healing broken bone . Almost all implants used today
are non-magnetic .
