Preface
This manual contains the operating instructions and service
requirements for the PneuVibe. The manual is designed for
clinical use. It is expected that the clinicians will instruct their
patients and clients in the proper use of the system and its ac‐
cessories. Please read the manual carefully, noting the Safety
Requirements, before using the PneuVibe system.

Failure to follow the conditions set forth below shall absolve
Pneumex, Inc. from any responsibility for the safety, reliability,
and performance of this equipment. It is suggested that each

product for the first time. Each independent user must be in‐
structed in the proper use of the system and its accessories.
The electrical wiring within the system's settings must comply
with the applicable local or provincial requirements. The
equipment must be used in accordance with the instructions for

tion therapy. See Page 14

Description and Use
The PneuVibe facilitates a pain free, low impact program that
people who are unsteady or overweight not only can do, but also
look forward to doing.
Exercise ‐You can perform the exercises both in a static
(without moving) or in a dynamic way (while moving) on the vi‐
bration unit.
Massage ‐The vibration unit offers more efficient massage with
less exertion than conventional methods.
Metabolism ‐Training on the vibration unit will heighten the
basic metabolism.
Joint Mobility ‐Less strain put on the joints, ligaments and ten‐
dons during vibration training.
Rehabilitation ‐By using unweighting combined with vibra‐
tion we are finding that range of motion exercises can improve
chronic problems.
Initial Use
First time users may wish to feel the vibration with one foot pri‐
or to stepping onto the vibration platform. A slight bend in the
knees while standing will keep the vibration out of the head area
and in the core and extremities.
