Treatment Instructions; Timing Of Treatment Sessions; Charging The Battery - Orthofix 5212 Manual De Instrucciones

Treatment Instructions

• SpinalStim should be worn each day for the number of hours
prescribed by a physician (a minimum of 2 hours/day).
• SpinalStim may be used at any time of day that is most convenient for
the patient.
• The device is programmed to reset the treatment clock daily at midnight
Central Standard Time, unless adjusted by a physician or Orthofix
representative for a different time zone.
• Hours worn prior to the reset time will be logged and stored in the device
for monitoring daily use compliance.
• The overall treatment duration (number of months/weeks) will vary based
on specific patient conditions as determined by a physician.
• Because SpinalStim is lightweight and portable, treatment can be received
while sitting, walking, reclining, sleeping, etc. However, since each
patient is unique, the overall activity level should be based on physician
instructions.

Timing of Treatment Sessions

• SpinalStim tracks the treatment time; this tracking (or timing)
begins when the device is turned on and at least one minute of
treatment is complete.
• The LCD shows a countdown of the daily treatment time remaining.
• To stop treatment at any point, simply press and hold the On/Off Button
until you hear a beep.
• To resume treatment, press the On/Off button again.
• The countdown will resume at the remaining treatment time.
• When daily treatment is completed, the device will automatically
turn off.

Charging the Battery

SpinalStim is powered by a rechargeable lithium-ion battery pack. The battery
pack will provide at least one full treatment before needing to be recharged.
A power supply to charge the battery is provided with the device. Use only the
Orthofix power supply to charge the battery (Part no. Orthofix 20110412
or 20114794).
To ensure that the device is functioning properly, SpinalStim constantly
monitors battery voltage and the electrical signal. The LCD will display a
battery capacity symbol and the device will beep to alert the patient when
the battery is low and will soon need to be recharged.
SpinalStim should be charged before the first use and every day after
completing treatment. Do not wear the device while charging. The device
will not deliver treatment while charging.
