BATTERY AND BATTERY CHARGER
The Biomet
®
OrthoPak
®
Non-invasive Bone Growth Stimulator System includes two rechargeable
battery packs. Upon receipt, it is recommended that the second battery pack be immediately placed
into the charger and fully charged. In the meantime, the first battery pack may be used to begin the
patient’s treatment.
Note: The first battery pack may not provide a 24-hour treatment initially. It is recommended that
the patient keep one battery pack in the battery charger to assure that it is fully charged and ready,
and the other inserted into the stimulator. This will ensure continuous treatment as prescribed by the
prescribing physician.
The battery charger is designed to recharge the Biomet
