WARNINGS & PRECAUTIONS
Warnings
Do not operate this device until the User Manual has been carefully read and is understood.
Never leave a resident or patient unattended while they are actively using the OmniStand™.
Do not use the OmniStand™ without a pelvic safety strap.
Precautions
The OmniStand™ should always be positioned so the exerciser’s face is clearly visible to the therapist or
operator to enable ongoing assessment of the exerciser’s effort and exercise tolerance. The system should never
be positioned in a way that the exerciser’s condition/status cannot be appropriately monitored while using the
system.
Start with an initial exercise session of no longer than 15 minutes at easy exercise intensity. Gradually increase
the length and intensity of subsequent sessions to suit the exerciser’s physical capabilities and exercise
tolerance.
Caution should be used for those with suspected or diagnosed cardiac or pulmonary conditions. Pay attention to
heart rate limits and cardiopulmonary symptoms.
Caution should be used in the presence of recent surgical procedures, fractures, healing bone, and/or soft tissue
injury, as muscle contraction may disrupt the healing process. Ensure that joint range of motion (ROM),
exerciser positioning, and force applied through the extremities are within safe limits for the individual
exerciser.
Caution should be taken with any patient exhibiting psychological or physical hypersensitivity to the therapeutic
treatment. Several attempts should be made to place them at ease so that their confidence and cooperation can
be gained during the treatment.
Children must be constantly supervised when exercising on the OmniStand™. Never leave the OmniStand™
unsupervised when children are present.
If the OmniStand™ is damaged, not operating normally, or producing abnormal noises or odors, stop the
exercise session immediately; avoid additional use of the device until you have contacted ACP Customer
Service at 800-350-1100.
Before starting any exercise, make sure that the OmniStand™ is properly assembled, and fully operational.
Disinfect the OmniStand™ before every training.
Prior to every training session, adapt simple knee support to the user's individual needs.
Adjust simple knee support so as to prevent overextension of joints and damage to muscles, tendons or
ligaments.
Make sure that pelvic safety strap is not damaged (i.e. intact seams, stitching).
Make sure that pelvic safety strap is correctly positioned and safely attached to buckles.
Set spring resistance to fit the user's activity, body size and body weight.
Always position chair/wheelchair directly behind patient when transferring from OmniStand™ to a wheelchair.
Always lock brakes on the wheelchair before transferring patient from OmniStand™ to wheelchair.

Delivery of the OmniStand™
Upon receipt of your OmniStand™, inspect the shipping container and contents for any obvious or concealed
damage. All ACP products are packaged carefully for rapid, safe delivery. We guarantee delivery in perfect
condition to the postal or delivery services. However any damage or loss incurred during transportation or delivery
is the postal or delivery company responsibility. If damage or loss to the product and/or container is obvious or
suspected, appropriate notation must be made on the signed freight bill at the time of delivery. All damage claims
should be promptly filed with the delivering carrier and must be initiated by the addressee where the package was to
be delivered. Retain the original shipping container and inserts for validation of damage claim for use at a later date.
Unpack and check all accessories. A list of enclosed accessories is provided with each unit to assist you in
identification of the type and number of accessories.
Transporting
The OmniStand™ is equipped with wheels for ease of movement. However, the wheels are not suitable for moving
the unit over uneven surfaces. The OmniStand™ should be moved using an elevator and must not be carried up or
down stairs. To move the unit, unlock the wheels and push it in front of you.
Introduction
The OmniStand™ is a dynamic balance system designed specifically for individuals who have poor standing
tolerance and abnormalities with static or dynamic standing balance. The OmniStand™ creates a “fall-safe”
environment that can be used with supervised exercise and be combined with virtual rehabilitation exercise devices
(i.e. OmniVR®). The biofeedback programs provided by the OmniVR®may significantly enhance exercise
outcomes.
When used in rehabilitation, the OmniStand™ safely provides static or dynamic support and eliminates the need for
therapy staff to hold a patient up in standing. This frees up the staff to more effectively cue, engage, and guide the
patient. If more than one staff member is required to manually stand and support a patient, once the patient is
positioned in the Omnistand™, only one staff member is needed to attend to the patient. This provides the double-
benefit of significantly increasing the staff’s efficiency.
This user manual will help you understand the OmniStand™ better. It will safely guide you through all functions
and control options, and provide you with tips and information on how to use it. Before using the unit for the first
time, please read and observe indications, contraindications, warnings, and precautions. Should you have any
questions or suggestions, your local ACP specialist will be happy to help.
