Products Overview
In general, all footscan systems operate in the same manner:
T h e footscan plate measures plantar pressure
using an X-Y matrix of resistive pressure sensitive
sensors that are scanned sequentially. The system
registers pressure data when the subject stands on
or walks over the plate.
The footscan 9 software processes the data. The
result is a pressure image of the foot. The color
scale of the image varies from blue (minimum
pressure) to red (maximum pressure). Additionally,
the system computes a number of physical
properties for further analysis of the measurement.
Footscan Entry level systems are available in three sizes: 0.5m, 1m and 1.5m. The
plates connect directly to a USB2 port of the computer via the fixed (0.5m and 1m
system) or detachable USB cable (1m heavy duty and 1.5m system). No additional
power supply unit is required. Appendix 18 provides more technical details.

1m entry level heavy duty system
Footscan interface box systems also come in three sizes: 0.5m, 1m and 2m. They
consist of a footscan interface box and a plate, as well as the cables to connect them:

Analog coaxial cable 6m (An optional longer cable is
available if required).
USB cable A-B 5m
Power supply unit
Power cord (Specific country version according to order).
A footscan security dongle is a USB2 hardware dongle which can be used to run the
footscan 9 software without a footscan plate being plugged in.

1.3 Contra-indications
Clients with stability issues when walking or running might require assistance during
the measurement.
RS-PRD-00562-016 17

1.4 General Safety Information
This section contains important instructions regarding safety. Please read
them carefully.
All users should read the installation guide and user manual before using the
footscan system, the installation guide and user manual should be available to
users at all times.
Prior to the measurement session, the client should be instructed on how to walk or
run over the footscan plate.
Should the client incur injury due to use or malfunction of the footscan system,
providing all precautions are taken, the footscan system is well maintained and
used as intended, report such an event to the manufacturer rs scan.
All equipment connected directly or indirectly to the footscan system (PC and
peripherals, force plate, trigger device, synchronized camera ...) has to be
configured in accordance with the EN 60601-1 standard. Consult a qualified
technician when in doubt.
Ensure a safe distance of 1.5m between the client and any of the above mentioned
equipment (except equipment required for the measurement such as a force plate)
or other equipment not compliant with the EN 60601-1 standard.
The PC used should be approved to the appropriate safety standard for non-
medical equipment (EN 60950).
Do not place the footscan system (plate, cable ...) adjacent to equipment or power
lines which generate strong electromagnetic or electrostatic fields, relocate if
necessary.
Do not operate or store the footscan system outside the specified environmental
temperature and humidity range, do not expose the footscan system to direct
sunlight, do not expose the footscan system to moisture.
Install the footscan plate on a solid, non-skid surface, ensure the plate is fully
supported and the entire client runway is non-skid.
Install the footscan plate in a runway which is long enough to allow the client to
walk or run in a natural gait pattern.
To eliminate the height difference between the floor and the footscan plate, either
recess the footscan plate in the floor or use a raised runway (available from rs scan
or its local distributors).
Avoid direct contact between the measurement surface of the footscan plate and
damaged skin, use appropriate isolation methods.
Protect the measurement surface from high impact or sharp objects. Dents or
damage to the measurement surface can influence the measurement and can
permanently damage the Pressure Sensitive Layer and electronic components. Use
a protective cover when performing such measurements, for example a layer of 3-
5mm EVA material (Ethylene Vinyl Acetate sheets).
Protect the footscan plate cable and connectors from accidental damage. Ensure
nobody can trip over the cable. Use a cable conduit or other means to cover and
protect the cable.
Do not bend the footscan cable at a sharp angle.
Do not lift the footscan plate by its cable, never pull the cable.
Do not extend the footscan plate cable.
When not in use, store your footscan plate flat (measurement surface up) or in its
packaging or flight case. Do not store the footscan plate vertically without
adequate support (cable always pointing upwards), do not put any weight on the
measurement surface.
Do not use unsuitable or unapproved third party accessories or non-original spare
parts, this can cause malfunctions or incorrect measurements and void warranty.
The footscan systems are not intended to be used in an oxygen rich environment.

1.5 Safety Inspections
This section contains important instructions regarding safety. Please read
them carefully.
Prior to each measurement session, visually inspect the measurement surface of
the footscan plate, do not use the footscan plate if the protective sticker or rubber
is loose or damaged to such an extent that the client could trip or get injured.
Replacement stickers and rubbers can be ordered from rs scan or its local
distributors.
Prior to each measurement session, visually inspect the cable and client runway,
ensuring maximum safety for the client while being measured.
On a weekly basis, inspect the cable and connection. Do not use the system if the
cable is damaged. Detachable cables can be replaced by the user, replacement
cables are available from rs scan or its local distributors.

RS-PRD-00562-016 19

1.6 Care of the Measurement Surface
To ensure client safety, clean and, if applicable, disinfect the measurement surface
of the footscan plate or insole sensor between subsequent clients.
The measurements surface can be cleaned and disinfected with a suitable
disinfectant or a mild detergent.
Do not pour or spray the cleaning or disinfectant product directly on the footscan
plate, use a damp cloth to clean and remove contamination.
Make sure the measurement surface of the footscan plate is completely dry before
use.
Do not use aggressive cleaning or disinfectant products that are harmful to PVC,
polycarbonate plastic, rubber or aluminium.
Do not use solvent based, flammable or abrasive cleaning or disinfectant products.
Do not submerge any part of the footscan system into water or other liquids.
Do not sterilize the footscan plate or any of its components.
