OPERATIONAL GUIDELINES
Power Supply Operation
The Omnicycle
®
Elite is a line-power only device. Use only a 110 VAC wall outlet with a Hospital Grade power
cord. Connect the Omnicycle
®
Elite to the power outlet socket using the provided power cord and position the cycle
in such a way that it can be easily unplugged. In the event of an emergency, the Omnicycle
®
Elite should be
unplugged from the wall outlet to prevent further injury. The Omnicycle
®
Elite is now ready for use. It can be started
from the control panel.
Basic Operational Sequence
When the cycle is in “STAND-BY”
mode, the Omnicycle
®
Elite can be
activated by pressing any button on the
control panel. The screen will light up.
During a self-test, which lasts about five
(5) seconds, the welcome screen is
displayed, followed by the system
version screen. After the self-test, the
unit will display the following start
screen:
The Omnicycle
®
Elite is now ready for
use. Pressing the “START” button at
this point will start the exercise session
with the basic default settings where the
pedals are moving at a rate of 10 rpm in
assisted exercise mode. When the patient
pedals at a higher speed, the cycle will
change to active exercise mode.
By pressing the “STOP” button once during the exercise session, the Omnicycle
®
Elite will “PAUSE”. It will
resume the same session when the “START” button is pressed. If the “STOP” button is pressed twice, the exercise
session will end, and the display will then show the “Exercise Summary” data, which can be printed out using the
optional Omnicycle
®
Elite Bluetooth
®
Printer.
Exercise Program Planning
The frequency and duration of exercise sessions on the Omnicycle
®
Elite should be individually planned and
prescribed as appropriate for the patient’s condition. Proper patient-specific exercise dosing with the Omnicycle®
Elite is extremely important if improvements in mobility, strength, endurance and neuromuscular reeducation, are to
be achieved. It is recommended that relative to patient-specific needs and capabilities, therapeutic exercise sessions
start at an easier intensity and shorter duration. As patients demonstrate good exercise tolerance, progressive
increases in intensity and/or duration are recommended, dependent on each patient’s goals and clinical
appropriateness. See the ACP Accelerated Clinical Practice Series
;
Aerobic Exercise for Aging Adults for specific
exercise recommendations.
