2.4 WalkAide/WalkLink Controls, Indicators & Alarms
Alarms:
1. Low Battery: An audible alarm of two long beeps every minute with red and green
blinking lights indicate low power condition. Change battery.
2. Heel/Foot Sensor: An audible alarm of two beeps every two seconds indicates that Heel/
Foot Sensor is not connected, when WalkAide is configured for theHeel/Foot Sensor.
Connect the heel switch or change the mode in WalkAnalyst to Hand / Tilt.
3. Device Error: An audible alarm of four beeps every two seconds with red blinking light
indicates an internal fault. Resend the WalkAide Parameters to the WalkAide. Turn unit
OFF, wait 5 seconds, turn back ON. Green power light should flash and red alert should
be gone. If the red light remains on, contact the distributor. (Bad program checksum)
4. Device Error: An audible alarm of three beeps every two seconds with red and green
blinking lights indicates an internal fault. Resend the WalkAide Parameters to the
WalkAide. Turn OFF unit, wait 5 seconds, turn back ON. Green power light should flash
and red alert should be gone. If the red light remains on, contact the distributor. (Bad
data checksum)
5. Rapid beeping: Constant beeping with rapid green light flashing indicates the unit was
turned on too quickly to a high level, or a new battery was installed without turning off the
device. Just turn the device OFF and back ON slowly.
6. Hibernation mode: A non-audible alarm with only a red blinking light indicates hibernation
mode. Establish a Bluetooth connection with WalkAnalyst to automatically clear
hibernation mode. If the hibernation mode does clear, also clear the usage log from the
standard program usage log link.
2.5 WalkAide Bi-Flex Cuff
The WalkAide is designed for single-handed application and removal. It may take practice
to develop a routine that works best for each person. The WalkAide is applied directly to the
leg and can be easily worn under most clothing. The clinician will find the optimal placement
of the electrodes on the initial visit. The electrode placement will be marked on the inside of
the cuff via Red and Black Electrode Locators and the position should not be moved by the
patient.
