Introduction
Congratulations getting your MLI® Elbow!
This unique device allows for monitoring your specific strain in your elbow. MLI® Elbow measures your muscle activity
and movement patterns and makes an advanced assessment of these. If your activity or movement patterns show signs
of strain, the Muscle Load Index® will increase.
MLI® Elbow is connected via Bluetooth Smart® to your smartphone where the PRECURE app will be the connecting
point between MLI® Elbow and the cloud solution. The advanced assessment of your activity takes place in the cloud
and results in a gauge score –your personal Muscle Load Index®, short MLI®.
MLI® Elbow cannot be used without an established connection to a smart device and the internet.
The device is wireless, powered by a rechargeable LiPo-battery and is attached to the skin above the muscles group
below the elbow region with the included Sleeve.
PRECURE app
(iOS 10.0 and above or Android 6.0 and above).
See PRECURE app usage or visit Apple Store or Google Play to download the app.
Before Use
MLI® Elbow is made for personal use on healthy skin.
Read instructions carefully prior to use.
The unit must be charged before the first use. See battery and charging for more information on how the product is
charged.
NB: The product is not intended for use during sleep, and the unit should not be attached to the body for more than 8
hours at a time. If there are signs of allergic reactions or rash, immediately stop using the product. Use the product with
caution.
MLI® Elbow is turned ON by inserting the micro-USB cable(6) into the dongle’s USB connector(2) with power for 2
seconds and disconnecting the USB cable again. Same procedure is used if you want to reset the dongle. Please use this
procedure, if you have difficulties detecting the dongle, when pairing with your smart device.
When not used for a longer period of time or for the first-time use, the dongle is in a low-power-mode/transportation-
mode and needs to be awoken by following the above procedure to be detectable.

Putting on your MLI® Elbow
Follow instructions provided in the PRECURE app.
1. Apply a pea size drop of PRECURE Gel(7) to the region below the elbow joint on top of the muscle group as
depicted below.
2. Pull up the sleeve(3) with the sleeve’s connector(4) pointing towards the inner side of the elbow joint. This
allows for the textrode(5) to be properly mounted on top of the muscle group.
3. Insert the dongle(1) by sliding it into the connector(4) with the USB connector(2) pointing into the sleeve
connector(4)/elbow joint

4. Follow pairing instructions in the PRECURE app to pair with your MLI® Elbow
Depending on your activity level, temperature, humidity or other external factors it might be necessary to apply gel
every 4h to 6h to ensure proper skin connectivity to the textrodes. Signal quality will decrease if the skin is dry. You are
alerted hereby in the app by the “Bad electrode” notification.
Removing the MLI® Elbow
1. Remove the MLI® Elbow by pulling it down and off the arm.
NB: Be careful not to use excessive force and over-stretch the fabric.
2. Remove and recharge the dongle(1) to ensure that it is fully charged for the next use.
3. Remember to close the PRECURE app.
Using the PRECURE app
The PRECURE app can be downloaded from App Store or Google Play.
Follow the instructions in the PRECURE app.
When paired with your smart device, MLI® Elbow will automatically transfer data when it is within reach (5-10 meters,
15-30 feet) and your smart device is connected to the internet. You can see your current Muscle Load Index® and
historical development in the app.
MLI® Elbow is connectable whenever the dongle is turned on. It is not possible to connect the dongle to multiple smart
devices simultaneously. If you want to pair the device with another phone, you must unpair the device in settings in the
PRECURE app or via your smart device’s native Bluetooth® settings.
The PRECURE app has a built-in pain report log and Muscle Load Index® log that allows you to compare your muscle
activity patterns with your reported pain. In this way you can see when you have had the most strained behavior and if
this is related to your pain.
It is recommended to register your pain regularly, whenever it occurs or when the pain intensity changes.
NB: If only used a little, there will be less data available. Thus, the Muscle Load Index® will be less accurate.
NB: If continuously in pain or discomfort is experienced, please contact a medical professional.
Battery and charging
The device has a battery life of approximately 8 hours at normal use. You are notified on your smart device when the
battery is running low, [10 %]. When reaching critical low [3 %] the device will shut down and Bluetooth® connection is
terminated. You will be warned hereof in the app and the dongle will vibrate.
MLI® Elbow is charged with a standard micro-USB cable. One has been provided with the kit.
The device is charged by inserting the micro-USB cable(6) into the dongle’s USB connector(2) and connecting the USB
cable to a USB charger. The device is fully charged approximately after 1 hour.
NB: Use an approved 5V USB charger capable of charging 500mA to 1500mA.
