Patient hazard –
− It is important that the patient's
position is anatomically correct.
Therefore, carefully verify the follow-
ing settings/positions:
1. femur length
2. knee joint axis
3. tibia length and leg rotation
4. leg support assemblies
− Movements must not cause pain or
irritation.
− Patients must be fully conscious
while being instructed in the use of
the CPM device and during therapy.
− Only the responsible physician or
therapist is able and allowed to
choose the therapy parameters and
protocols to use. It is the physician's
or therapist's decision whether or not
to use the CPM device on a specific
patient.
− The patient must be familiar with the
functions of the ARTROMOT®-K1
programming unit and the unit must
be within easy reach of the patient,
allowing him or her to stop therapy, if
needed. Patients unable to operate
the programming unit, e.g. paralytic
patients, must never be left unatten-
ded during therapy.
− After data storage, write the patient's
name on the patient chip card. The
card should only be used for this pa-
tient. If the patient chip card is used
for another patient, be sure to delete
the previous patient's data from the
card first (see: section 5.2 Program-
ming: "New Patient").
Use original chip cards only.¹
− Any accessories used with
ARTROMOT®-K1 must first be ap-
proved by DJO Global.
− Modifications to the medical device
described in this document without
the manufacturer's written consent is
prohibited.
− The simultaneous treatment of both
legs by simultaneous use of two CPM
devices is not permitted because the
motion elements might interfere
with each other.

− Stability of the physiotherapy unit
must always be ensured while it is in
use. The ARTROMOT-K1 must only
be set up on surfaces that guaran-
tee its stability. Very soft or instable
surfaces (such as waterbeds) are NOT
suitable.
− Do not allow parts of the body or
objects (such as blankets, cushions,
or cables) to get caught in the mov-
ing parts of the CPM device.
