Step 2:
Preparing the System to Begin Treatment
Gently press electrodes onto the skin. Depending on your ability to
move after your surgery, it may be helpful to ask another person
to help you place these electrodes on your skin. See page 14 for
electrode instructions. Consult your local Biomet representative
should you have questions about your electrode placement. Make
sure you apply the electrodes after your skin has been cleaned and
dried. If you skin becomes abnormally red at the electrode sites,
the electrodes should be moved adjacent to the original sites.
If redness does not go away after 48 hours with the electrodes
moved, you should contact your prescribing physician.
Place the stimulator
controller in a
comfortable and
convenient location for
you to wear for your
prescribed treatment
period. If you decide
to place the stimulator
controller in the holster, place the holster in a comfortable and
convenient location that is close to your fracture site.
Connect the two electrode wires into the electrode lead wire. Insert
the electrode lead wire plug into the jack at the top of the stimulator
controller (Figure 1). Choose the electrode lead wire that reaches
from the location of the device or device holster to your fracture
site (where your electrodes should be placed). The device holster
can be worn on a belt, attached to your waistband, or clipped
onto the extremity band.
Remove the fully charged
battery pack from the
battery charger cradle by a
gentle lift (2) of the small
tab (1). The battery is now
ready for connection to
the Biomet
®
OrthoPak
®
Non-invasive Bone Growth
Stimulator System.
Insert the battery pack into
the Biomet
®
OrthoPak
®
Non-invasive Bone Growth
Stimulator System by
placing it into the battery
compartment (1) (replace the
cover by sliding back to its
closing position). The cover
will snap into place (2).
