CYMEDICA Orthopedics QB1 User manual

When you hit the “+” sign, electrical stimulation will
be delivered to your quadriceps muscle. You might
feel a light tingling until you reach a comfortable
muscle contraction.
Set intensity levels for both the knee and thigh areas,
and note that it is common to require different levels of
stimulation for each.
Select the “Start” button and your 20-minute
treatment will begin.
Stimulation levels may be adjusted at any time
during your treatment.
Press the large black button under the display
screen to pause treatment at any time. Press the
“Resume” button on the start screen at any time to
continue treatment.
The user interface may be slid into the user
interface pouch and adhered to the side of the brace
for convenience during treatment.
At the completion of treatment, turn off the user
interface, and unplug it from the brace by squeezing
both sides of the connector.
To charge your device, turn off the user interface and
plug in the charger adapter on the left side of your
controller to an outlet.
