Treatment Instructions
• Spinal-Stim should be worn each day for the number of hours
prescribed by a physician (a minimum of 2 hours/day).
• Spinal-Stim may be used at any time of day that is most convenient for
the patient.
• The device is programmed to reset the treatment clock daily at midnight
Central Standard Time, unless adjusted by a physician or Orthofix
representative for a different time zone.
• Hours worn prior to the reset time will be logged and stored in the device
for monitoring daily use compliance.
• The overall treatment duration (number of months/weeks) will vary based
on specific patient conditions as determined by a physician.
• Because Spinal-Stim is lightweight and portable, treatment can be
received while sitting, walking, reclining, sleeping, etc. However, since
each patient is unique, the overall activity level should be based on
physician instructions.
Charging the Battery
Spinal-Stim is powered by a rechargeable lithium-ion battery pack. A power
supply to charge the battery is provided with the device. Use only the Orthofix
power supply to charge the battery (Part no. Orthofix 20110412).
To ensure that the device is functioning properly, Spinal-Stim constantly
monitors battery voltage and the electrical signal. The LCD will display a
battery capacity symbol and the device will beep to alert the patient when
the battery is low and will soon need to be recharged.
Spinal-Stim should be charged before the first use and every day after
completing treatment. The device will not deliver treatment while charging.
Timing of Treatment Sessions
• Spinal-Stim tracks the treatment time; this tracking (or timing)
begins when the device is turned on and at least one minute of
treatment is complete.
• The LCD shows a countdown of the daily treatment time remaining.
• To stop treatment at any point, simply press and hold the On/Off Button
until you hear a beep.
• To resume treatment, press the On/Off button again.
• The countdown will resume at the remaining treatment time.
• When daily treatment is completed, the device will automatically
turn off.
