Before you get started with any of the setups described in this manual, there
are a few
preliminary points to consider which will help ensure safe and
smooth operation of your NxStep Unweighing System.
Be aware that use of Biodex products requires professional expertise for
discerning appropriate treatment techniques. Each subject’s unique situation
should be taken into account before beginning any type of testing or
rehabilitation program. Be sure you fully comprehend these operating
instructions before attempting to treat a subject for testing or exercise.
Practice setups and positioning with a healthy subject before attempting to
treat an injured patient.
NOTE: Service should be provided by qualified personnel only. Please do not
attempt installation or repair on your own. Call Biodex Customer Service for
assistance.
WARNING: The NxStep Unweighing System must be thoroughly inspected every time
prior to each usage with a patient to ensure safe operation. Refer to the Maintenance
and Safety Inspection section for details.
CAUTION: The NxStep Unweighing System should not be used if an issue
requiring service by Biodex personnel is detected during inspection.
CAUTION: Ensure that the support rope safety stop does not come in contact
with the support bar pulley when either a Biodex supplied harness or other
manufacturer’s harness is used to support the patient.
CAUTION: When service is required, the NxStep Unweighing System should
only be serviced by personnel authorized by Biodex Medical Systems, Inc.
Failure to do so will void the warranty and no longer ensure safe operation.
CAUTION: Modifications to this product are only permitted by the
manufacturer. Unauthorized modification of the product can result in hazards
to the operator and patient, and will void the manufacturer’s warranty. Do not
modify this equipment without authorization from the manufacturer.
