A unique feature of the AXION micro5 is PROBE LOCK. Pressing this key while in the probe mode allows
the clinician to scan the area for exactly two seconds. After two seconds the highest reading encountered will
remain on the LCD display until another point is touched.
Using PROBE LOCK
1.
Press the PROBE key.
2.
Press the LOCK key. The word LOCK should appear in the upper portion of the screen. 3. To disable
probe lock press the LOCK key again.
This feature is also very useful in measuring the electrode/skin interface to determine if
good contact is being made before electrode use.
Probe Lock
During operation the micro5 uses distinct and different tones as well as display in dicators to alert the opera-
tor of systems problems. The indicator are as follows.
Upon Start Up
An alternating series of high and low tones indicates a successful initial start up test.
During Operation
A series of descending tones along with a flashing battery indicator and flashing test
indicator means a low battery charge. You should charge the battery as soon as possible.
A series of descending tones along with a flashing test indicator and flashing channel indicator indicates a
current test failure.
The AXION micro5 utilizes a unique monitoring system called INSTANT ALERT. During treatment IN-
STANT ALERT works in the background to measure the amount of electricity delivered to the patient Be-
cause the micro5 is a computer driven constant current generator it will always strive to maintain the settings
you have entered regardless of skin impedance. There are several things that will cause INSTANT ALERT to
issue a current test failure.
Note: INSTANT ALERT will indicate which channel is failing by flashing TEST along with the appropriate
channel indicator.
MAKE SURE THE MAIN PROBE IS UNPLUGGED BEFORE USING ELECTRODES IN CHANNEL
