5.1 General information
on programming
ARTROMOT®-S3
1. You activate the programming mode by
briefly pressing the MENU key on the
programming unit.
2. The treatment parameters and func-
tions are allocated to four (Standard
model) or six (Comfort model) program-
ming levels (four per level). To be able
to program a parameter you will have
to access the corresponding program-
ming level. This is also done with the
MENU key. With each key press you
advance one level. The code M1, M2, etc.
that appears in the middle of the display
indicates the programming level.
3. You activate the treatment parameters
and functions with the four parameter
keys below the display. The symbols
above the four parameter keys indicate
the assigned parameters and functions.
This is what happens when you press
one of the parameter keys to select a
parameter:
• The corresponding symbol appears on
the display in a larger format.
• The set value is displayed.
• The symbol above the parameter key
appears in reverse video.
4. With the + / - keys (plus/minus) you
change the displayed value. When you
press and hold the key, the value will
change at a faster rate.
Some of the (special) functions can only
be enabled and disabled. This is done by
pressing the corresponding parameter
key or with the + / - keys. Active param-
eters are identified with a check mark in
the circle next to the symbol.
5. Having programmed all parameters,
press the STOP key to save the values.
6. Then press the START key:
ARTROMOT®-S3 checks the set values,
moves to the position halfway between
the set internal and external rotation
values as well as to the set maximum
adduction value and stops.
7. Press the START key again to start
therapy.
Next the carriage will move the maxi-
mum internal rotation value in the
synchronized mode. The carriage will
then simultaneously move to the maxi-
mum external rotation position and
the maximum abduction position and
subsequently to the maximum adduction
position and the maximum internal
rotation position. After reaching this
position, the cycle restarts: maximum
abduction and maximum external
rotation.
After activation of the START key in the
non-synchronized mode the motors
will perform random movements, each
motor reversing after reaching the maxi-
mum values.
Note!
– Refer to sections 5.3 and 5.5 for a
description of the parameters.
– To view the set parameter values,
press the corresponding parameter
key. Before, however, you have to
press the STOP key and access the
correct menu level.
– To prevent accidental changes of the
parameter settings, lock the keys by
simultaneously pressing the + (plus)
and – (minus) keys for approx.
4 seconds.
Press both keys again for approx.
4 seconds to unlock.
– Selecting the "New Patient" function
will automatically delete the data on
the patient chip card. When you have
finished programming the unit and
press the STOP key, the settings will
automatically also be saved to the
patient chip card.
– Emergency stop function:
ARTROMOT®-S3 will stop immediately,
when any of the keys is pressed during
therapy.
Patient treatment can be resumed by
pressing the START key. The device
will automatically change the direction.
