1.3 Information of Electro-Magnetic Compatibility (EMC)
Warning : Please note that emitted electromagnetic signals from the external environment
may affect the patient and also ARTUS-501E.
Warning : Do not use ARTUS-501E near high-power wireless equipment such as mobile
phone, this could cause malfunction.
Caution : ARTUS-501E is compliant with medical device regulations 93 / 42 / EEC and it is
designed to protect it from electromagnetic signals.
Caution : Portable and mobile frequency (RF) communication device may affect the
electronic medical devices.
Caution : Only the component we provide are recommended to use, other unspecified
devices may cause increasing emissions and immunocompromised status.
The RF of “ARTUS-501E” emissions are very low and are not likely to cause interference in
nearby electronic equipment.
The “ARTUS-501E” is suitable for use in all establishments other than domestic and those
directly connected to the public low voltage power supply network that supplies buildings
used for domestic purposes.
Mains (AC) power quality should be that of a typical commercial or hospital environments.
Floors should be wood, concrete or ceramic tile. If floor is covered with synthetic material,
the relative humidity should be at least 30% to avoid excessive static electricity.
Warning : The “ARTUS-501E” should not be situated adjacent to, or stacked with,
other electronic equipment. If the system must be in installed in close
proximity to other equipment, both the “ARTUS-501E” and the nearby
equipment should be observed to verify normal operating in that
configuration.
Caution : The “ARTUS-501E” has been designed to meet the standards of
IEC60601-1-2 for electromagnetic compatibility; however some
computer equipment unintentionally emits strong interfering RF signals.
Portable RF communication devices may also affect “ARTUS-501E”.
Warning : Use of accessories other than those specified, may result in increased
emissions, or decreased immunity of this system.

Chapter 2. Product
2.1 Introduction of ARTUS-501E
Thank you for purchasing ARTUS-501E.
ARTUS-501E is a rehabilitative exercise equipment (Continuous Passive Motion Machine)
that recovers the lost function of Elbow joint quickly through the continuous passive motion
for patient who cannot exercise by themselves. It can also be adjusted angle range of
exercise, exercise time, the number of exercise, etc. And also it is available to set
5 steps exercising speed. Acceleration mode allows the exercise speed up to 2 steps faster
than previously programmed speed. It also provide a caster to move product easily.
Hand Controller(H/C) which is adopting 3.5 inch screen and touch is easy to operate and it
provides the information of progressing and programing exercise on screen.
2.2 Operation
If it is left untreated after the elbow joint surgery, it may cause problems such as limited
range of motion and muscle contraction. And applying too much load to the elbow joint
without rehabilitation may worsen the condition of the surgical area. So it is necessary to
exercise properly for the quick recovery of surgical area. ARTUS-501E is the rehabilitation
equipment to recover the function of elbow joint quickly through continuous passive
movement.
Range of motion is different depending on the exercise mode and exercising ROM has to be
programmed according to the condition of patient.
Please exercise at a slow speed at first, and then do exercise higher speed and wider angle
after becoming familiar with the equipment. Exercise with a wide range of motion from the
beginning could cause secondary damage to the patient's surgical site.
