Connect your podoscope verifying that the indications on the plate correspond to the local electric voltage,
then plug it into the socket which must be supplied with a surcharge safety device.
The use of accessories, transducers and cables, except the ones sold by the producer as spare parts, can
increase the emissions and decrease the EM (electromagnetic) device immunity.
Chapter 3 - INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
Plug the podoscope in to light it up, then switch on (5) to position I.
Let the patient step on the transparent basis of the podoscope and make sure that the feet are right in the centre
of it. Then proceed with a sight examination on the mirror.
If have not been supplied with article nr. AP504 (caoutchouc) the examination can be performed only if the patient
is barefoot, otherwise lay the caoutchouc on the transparent surface. This material is also useful to check the va-
lidity of arch support treatments.
WARNING: DON'T LET STEP ON PATIENTS WITH INJURED FOOT SKIN
At the end of the examination, press (5) again to put it back to the 0 position and turn it off.
IMPORTANT: PLEASE HELP ELDERLY PATIENTS STEP ON THE PODOSCOPE AND REMAIN STEADY.
The ordinary maintenance described in this paragraph can be carried out directly by the operator.
1) Disinfect the surface of the podoscope after each use with disinfectants indicated for this material: never use
alcohol nor solvents for this purpose.
2) Clean the podoscope at least once a week, always after having unplugged it. Use clean clothes, slightly moistened
with water and detergent for glasses. Never use alcohol nor solvents for this purpose.
3) The frequency of the checks on internal wiring may vary according to external conditions (i.e. presence of dust)
and repeated usage.
4) As a general rule, we recommend a sight inspection every six months or at least within one year after the purchase
of the podoscope, to ascertain whether there is no wear and tear in the cable or in the electric connections.
