ing settings/positions:
1. Carriage angle

motor A
3. Footplate adjustment

− Movements must not cause any pain
or irritation.

while being instructed in the use of
the CPM device and when using the
device.
− The choice of the therapy param-
eters to program and of the therapy
protocols to use is restricted to the
responsible physician or therapist.
The doctor or therapist must decide
on a case-by-case basis whether the
device can be used with each particu-
lar patient.
− The patient must be familiar with
the functions of the ARTROMOT®-
SP3 control pendant which must
be within easy reach of the patient,
allowing him or her to stop therapy if
needed. Patients unable to operate
the control pendant , e.g. paralytic
patients, must always be supervised
by specially trained staff during
therapy.
− After data storage, write the patient's
name on the patient chip card¹. The
card should only be used for this
particular patient. If the patient chip
card¹ is used for another patient, be
sure to delete the previous patient's
data from the card first (see: section
5.3, "New patient").
Use original chip cards only.¹
− The ARTROMOT®-SP3 must only be
used with accessories approved by
DJO.
– Modifications to the medical device
described in this document without
the manufacturer's written consent
are prohibited.
– Stability of the CPM device must
always be ensured while it is in use.
The ARTROMOT-SP3 must only be
set up on surfaces that guarantee
its stability. Very soft or instable
surfaces (such as waterbeds) are NOT
suitable.
− Do not allow parts of the body or
any objects (such as blankets, cush-
ions or cables) to get caught in the
moving parts of the CPM device.
