Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
How do I activate and set the session timer?
To enable the timer, use the TIMER button on the hand control. If the display shows “00H00,” the timer is inactive. Simply set a session duration between 00H01 and 24:00 hours, and the timer will activate.
What is the Warm-Up feature and how does it work?
The Warm-Up mode gradually increases knee motion. Starting at 70 % of your preset ROM, it increments by 5 % every other movement cycle until it reaches full range—typically in about seven cycles.
How can I override the preset ROM mid-session?
Use the ROM Bypass (By-Pass) mode during an active session. By pressing and holding the respective flexion or extension buttons, you can manually adjust to a new ROM limit based on patient comfort, then save it mid-cycle.
How do I lock and unlock the hand control to prevent accidental changes?
Press the lock/unlock key combination (usually [▲] + [▼]) on the hand control. The display will show LOCK when locked and UNLOCK when unlocked. It automatically locks each time the device is powered on. This prevents unintended adjustments.
How do I set up and run a personalized therapy program?
To create or modify one of 16 stored therapy profiles: Turn off the machine, then power it on while holding the Program button. Select a program slot (1–16), set ROM, speed, force, pauses, and timer. Press Program again to save, then restart the device to use your custom settings.
What safety features prevent injury during resistance increases?
The device includes a Force Reversal feature: if the patient resists or muscles contract beyond the set threshold, the machine automatically reverses movement to protect against strain.
