Orpyx LogR User manual

Orpyx LogR™ is a solution designed for the
accurate, efficient, and real-time
measurement of foot and plantar pressure
analysis. Comprised of sensor-embedded
inserts, iOS application and cloud-based
software for data storage and
management, this system is used by
researchers in a variety of different
applications that might include footwear
and orthotic design, biomechanics, sports
performance, gait and balance
assessments, posture research,
rehabilitation, injury prevention, fall
prevention, and more.
The Orpyx LogR system is an in-shoe
plantar pressure research device with a
simple 5-minute setup that is not tethered
to a computer in a lab. By using a 0.5mm
thick proprietary sensor array that is worn
under foot, it connects to attached
measurement electronics that stream
real-time sensor measurements to the iOS
Orpyx LogR app and when connected to the
Internet, automatically syncs the
collected measurements to the Orpyx LogR
cloud-based data management portal.

2.0 SETTING UP YOUR SYSTEM
Getting started with your Orpyx LogRsystem
How to properly fit your Orpyx LogR inserts
How to properly fit your Orpyx LogR
shoe pods
Your Orpyx LogR system will need to be
initialized before first use. To initialize the
system, plug each shoe pod into the USB
charging cable attached to the wall adapter
or computer. Once the shoe pod is plugged
in, it will flash red and green, followed by
a solid red LED light for approximately 6
seconds. After 6 seconds, you may unplug
the shoe pod(s) from the charging cable and
proceed to use your Orpyx LogR system.
Note: We recommend fully charging shoe
pods (minimum 8 hours) before use to
ensure optimal battery performance. Shoe
pods must be kept charging when not in use.
The Orpyx LogR inserts fit inside your
running or walking shoe, underneath
the insole or orthotic. To install, unlace
the shoe-laces, fold back the tongue and
remove the existing insole from your shoe.
Peel the paper backing off the double sided
tape and place the appropriate left or right
Orpyx LogR insert into the shoe. If the insert
is used in multiple shoes, the double sided
tape may need to be re-applied. The insert
should lay flat on the bottom of the shoe
without bunching, creasing, moving or
curving up the sides. The lead should run
along the instep of the shoe, up and over
the shoe tongue. When in place, your shoe
insole can be put back into the shoe on top
of the Orpyx LogR insert – the insert should
not bend or shift during this step.
Note: The Orpyx LogR inserts should not be
placed under insoles that have hard
plastic on their undersurfaces, or used
outside of the shoe. The inserts are
designed to be used in-shoe only.
Option 1 - Shoe Pod Clips (Recommended):
Adjust the shoe pod to sit centered on the
top of the tongue. Take the shoe pod clip,
included with the Orpyx LogR system, and
slide the clip under the shoe laces (or
Velcro). Make sure that the 2 (two) prongs
on the clip are facing upwards at the base of
the shoe tongue. The clip should be
positioned in the middle of the laces/Velcro,
not too far towards the top or bottom of the
shoe tongue. Attach the shoe pod clip –
hook the prongs in first to the bottom holes
of the shoe pod, and then push the top until
you hear it click into place.
Option 2 - Shoe Pod Lacing: Adjust the shoe
pod to sit centered on the top of the tongue.
Lace up the shoe normally until there are
only two shoelace holes left on each side.
Take one lace and lace it through the top
shoe pod hole, coming from the front to the
back of the shoe pod. Cross the lace under
the bottom of the shoe pod (along the back)
and lace it through the opposite shoe pod
hole (from bottom to top). Lace the shoe up
as you normally would, back through the top
two shoe lace holes. Ensure that the shoe
pod is sitting centered in the shoe, and that
the lead is still flat against the instep of the
shoe.

How to charge the Orpyx LogR shoe pods Orpyx LogR shoe pod lights
With regular use, the shoe pods will require
charging daily. Battery life for the shoe pods
can be monitored from the foot map screen
on the Orpyx LogR application. To charge
the shoe pods, insert the mini USB cable
into the mini USB port on the back of the
shoe pod. You should hear a click when in
place. The other end of the cable should be
inserted into the AC adaptor, which plugs
directly into an electrical outlet.
When the shoe pods are charging, a red
light flashes on each shoe pod. When the
shoe pods are fully charged, the lights turn
solid green.
Note: The device should only be charge with
the AC Adaptor included with the system.
The shoe pods should be kept charging
when not in use.
There are red and green lights inside each
shoe pod to indicate device status.

11.0 FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Orpyx Medical Technologies Inc.
©2016 Orpyx Medical Technologies Inc.
All rights reserved. All trademarks and registered
trademarks are the property of their respective owners.
What type of sensors does the system use?
The Orpyx LogR has 8 Piezoresistive
sensors which can measure pressure
between 0 to 75 PSI / 0 to 517 kPa.
Will change in temperature have an effect
on the accuracy? What effect will change in
temperature cause, if any?
The operating temperature range of the
inserts is between -20 to +50 Celsius / -4
to 122 Fahrenheit. Within this range the
sensors have a temperature sensitivity of
0.35%/Celsius / 0.19%/Fahrenheit.
Do the sensors experience “sensor –
creep”?
Under a constant static load, the sensor
response changes on as described by a
logarithmic time scale [6%/log(second].
This creep is typically not measurable
during cyclic loading and this effect can be
compensated for in post data processing.
Does the sensor saturate?
Sensor measurements saturate at
approximately 75 PSI / 517 kPa.
Will excessive force/body weight have an
adverse effect on the sensor and it’s
accuracy?
The sensor inserts can withstand pressures
up to 785 kPa (approximately 130 PSI). The
Orpyx LogR sensor readings will saturate
above 75 PSI / 517 kPa, meaning that the
system is unable to accurately measure the
applied pressure.
How do I calibrate inserts?
The Orpyx LogR inserts will not require
calibration with daily use. Due to normal
wear, it may become necessary to send
the Orpyx LogR inserts back to Orpyx for
a re-calibration. Please contact Customer
Care for additional information.
What is “event synchronization”?
Current customers use an event to
synchronize data streams from other
devices and systems. For example, a
particular foot motion which is observable
by the Orpyx LogR system as well as other
devices being used.
Sensor Hysteresis
Pressure sensor hysteresis is approximately
+/- 4%.
Warranty
Orpyx Medical Technologies Inc. guarantees
that the Orpyx LogR system will be free of
defects in material and workmanship for
one year, valid from the date of purchase.
The warranty extends only to the original
purchaser and is not transferable. Due to
the varying uses of the Orpyx LogR inserts,
the performance of the inserts are not
covered under warranty.
For more information, please contact Orpyx
Customer Care.
