3.5 Indications and contraindications
The indications for the use of the devices in therapy are shown in chapter 7 for the respective devices.
The devices are contraindicated and must not be used for the conditions listed below:
•Febrile diseases
•Current pain at rest or during activity, as well as acute health complaints
•Existing pain in the musculoskeletal system among other things after stretches, strains, torn
muscle fibers, sprains and disc protrusions
•Fresh fractures
•Osteoporosis in continued stages (grade 2 and 3)
•Hypertension in continued stages (grade 2 and 3 according to WHO)
•Artificial joint replacement at the knee and/or hip joint with unstable anchorage
•Severe neurological diseases with a tendency to muscle spasms
•Abdominal wall or inguinal hernia
•Pregnancy from the 2nd trimester
•Heart failure and coronary heart disease. Patients with high blood pressure may only use the
device after consultation with their physician.
3.6 Patient population
The devices are intended for professional use in health care facilities such as orthopedic and
physiotherapy departments in hospitals, rehabilitation clinics, etc. Depending on the indication, health
condition of the patient and treatment goal, the devices can be used in any phase of rehabilitation.
3.7 Clinical benefit
Compass®600 devices support physiotherapeutic interventions. The clinical benefit for the patient lies
in the complementary use of the devices and the resulting improved muscle stabilization.
3.8 Responsible operation
These operating instructions are intended for the operator and the qualified personnel. All people who
work on the device must be trained in its use and must have read and understood the operating
instructions including the safety chapter.
Personnel must be informed before therapy begins and at regular intervals about the nature and scope
of activities and about possible hazards such as any warnings.
Instruction on the equipment (therapist, trainer, fitness trainer) and monitoring (therapist, sports
therapist, fitness trainer) may only be carried out by trained personnel. Authorization of the operator is
required.
Adjustments must not be operated under load. Before each adjustment, make sure that there is no load
from a lifted weight block. This may impair the permanent functionality of the components.

11
3.9 Safety regulations
The device may only be used in technically perfect condition in the intended use. In the event of defects
or malfunctions, please block the device and contact the manufacturer's service department.
It must be ensured, especially when changing the position of the unit without disassembly, that the unit
stands securely on level ground.
The protective cladding must not be removed. The device may only be operated with the protective
cladding mounted.
The warranty becomes void if modifications are made to the device or electronic devices for control and
measurement are attached that have not been carried out by specialist personnel authorized by the
manufacturer.
Defective parts of the device must be replaced immediately - in this case, it is advisable to stop using
the device until repairs have been made. Only use original accessories, otherwise no liability will be
accepted.
The device may only be opened by proxomed service or authorized personnel.
Do not reach with your hands between the moving bearings/rollers.
3.10 Combination with other products
Compass®600 devices can optionally be used with the smart assist accessory. smart assist is an active
medical device from proxomed Medizintechnik GmbH that contains software. smart assist was
developed and tested according to EN 60601-1.
3.11 Side effects and residual risks
The devices are developed in such a way that no critical side effects occur. Occasional side effects such
as muscle soreness and joint pain may occur, usually after incorrect ergonomic adjustment or after too
intensive training. These symptoms should subside spontaneously after a few days.
3.12 Incident reporting
Please report any clinical events that occurred in and immediately after the use of the device directly to
the manufacturer at the address: [e-mail].

12
4Storage, transport and installation
Store the devices dry, free of seawater and protected from dust within the temperature range of -5°C to
+45°C.
Protect the devices from impacts, scratches and moisture. Note that the load-bearing capacity of the
substrate must be according to the weight of the devices.
Use the devices only in dry rooms free of seawater air (<65% humidity).
The devices are usually delivered completely assembled. In rare cases, it may be necessary to ship the
units partially disassembled for transport reasons. In these cases, please use the corresponding assembly
instructions and follow the instructions given!
When setting up the unit for the first time, it is important to know the maximum achievable range of
motion for the particular version to be installed. The clearance area around the unit must be at least 60
cm to ensure safe access and exit from the unit, also in emergencies. However, the safety clearances may
overlap.
The following Figure 1 shows an exemplary arrangement of compass®600 devices.
The device must be set up on a level, impact-resistant surface that can withstand the load of the device
and the maximum permissible body weight of the user of 200 kg.
To compensate for unevenness, the unit has adjustable feet that can be adjusted in height. An important
prerequisite for proper functioning of the device is alignment with a spirit level.
Avoid installing the equipment in heavily frequented rooms or near doors and passageways.

6Training tips
The device must be adjusted to the ergonomic conditions of the user before the first training. The
adjustment of the training device for the user is the responsibility of the qualified personnel.
•To avoid injuries and to make the training more effective, a general and special warm-up
program should be completed. This prepares the circulation and musculature for the loads.
•Select a safe and firm sitting position, with the pelvis and spine close to the seat. The back,
especially the lumbar spine, must be stabilized as best as possible during the exercise. If
available, the backrest is used to stabilize the spine. To support the spinal posture, especially for
people with postural instabilities, use the optional lordosis cushion.
•Correct positioning of the patient in the starting position contributes greatly to the quality,
effectiveness and safety of the exercise performance. The device axes and pivot points must be
matched as closely as possible to the axes of movement of the joints to be exercised in order to
avoid the occurrence of compression and shear forces.
•Perform the movement slowly and in a controlled manner.
•The intensity of the load should be selected to be light at the beginning of the training. The load
is gradually increased to avoid overload and discomfort.
•The equipment allows for double-leg or single-leg or double-arm or single-arm training.
•If mobility is restricted or pain occurs, immediately reduce the load or/and the extent of
movement.
•Training and therapy take place only in the pain-free area.
•During fast-impact exercises, the weight can be moved explosively. Controlled movement must
be ensured, especially in this training method, so that incorrect loads and injuries are avoided.
As a rule, concentric and eccentric ways of working the muscles are combined.
CAUTION
Improper or excessive training can lead to health problems
CAUTION
Pressurized breathing and the associated increase in intrathoracic pressure
can lead to damage to the vascular system in persons at risk. Perform
movement slowly and in a controlled manner.
WARNING
If you experience symptoms such as rapid heartbeat, dizziness, shortness of
breath, nausea or chest pain, profuse sweating or headache, please stop training
immediately.

15
•Different training methods are used. If training is done according to the repetition method,
several series of exercises are performed with appropriate breaks.
•The load intensity is based on the load capacity of the individual indications, the rehabilitation
phase and the treatment goal. Thus, in order to adapt and accustom the injured structure
(connective tissue, cartilage, tendons, ligaments and joint capsule) to a weight load, the focus
can be on low training intensity before the training of special strength skills - such as strength
endurance or maximum strength - begins with increasing intensity.
•In order to be able to reproduce the training positions made by a therapist/trainer during a later,
possibly independent training, all adjustment devices are provided with scales and numbered
alphabetically (A, B, C, ...).
•On all devices there is the possibility to stabilize the patient/client optimally during the training.
WARNING
Risk of injury. Keep a safety distance of at least 60 centimeters from moving parts.
