4.1 Connecting the
device, performance
check
1. Connect the power cord to socket
(15) of the device and mains plug to
a wall outlet with a non-fused earthed
wire (100 to 240 Volt, 50/60 Hz).
2. Turn the power switch (17) on.
3. Follow these steps to set the carriage
to the home position.
Press the Extension key
and, holding it depressed, rotate
until 30° appears in the display
above the control.
In the same manner, select a
Flexion value of 35°.
Then press the START/STOP key.
When the carriage has reached this
range and does not stop automati-
cally, press the START/STOP key
again to stop any movement.
Note!
ARTROMOT ® -K1 classic will stop
automatically in the home position
range, only if it was positioned
outside this range (30° to 35°) at
the time of programming (also
refer to 5.2)
Performance check
If the programming unit can be
operated as described above and
ARTROMOT®-K1 classic enters the
home position (for home position
values, refer to section 4.1), the device
has passed the performance check.
The device also runs performance
checks regularly during operation. This
is what happens, if a problem is identified:
- An audio signal sounds.
- The device switches off immediately.
- The message "ERROR", accompanied
by a code number (e.g. ERROR 5),
appears on the display.
In this situation, you may attempt to
restart the device by turning the device
briefly off and on again with the power
switch. If the error message persists,
have the device inspected by a Service
technician, before using it again.
4.2 Adjusting the device
to the femur length
1. Measure the length of the patient's
thigh (femur) from the greater
trochanter to the lateral knee joint
cavity (Fig. A).
2. Set the carriage to the home position
(see 4.1).
3. Set the measured value at the
femur scale (3) of the carriage.
- Loosen the two fixation screws (4).
- Extend the scale (3) to the required
length.
- Tighten the fixation screws (4) to
set the scale to the new length.
CAUTION!
Equipment damage –
Do not attempt to extend the
femur scale beyond the stop.
