Maintenance of the Canid Gait Sensor
7.2.1 Control Procedures
WARNING
The measuring system must be checked at regular intervals to ensure
its correct function and patient safety.
In case the running belt has been exposed to hard knocks or heavy items have fallen onto
it, the surface of the Canid Gait sensor has to be checked for damaging (cracks, dents, and
scratches on the surface). If visible damages are detected, no further measurements must
be carried out.
After carrying out a zero measurement, no measuring values may be shown for a condition
without any load. In addition, the pressure distribution images are to be checked regularly
for untypical measuring patterns. These include above all, line or column-shaped measuring
patterns deviating from the surrounding values.
NOTE
In order to guarantee the correct functioning of the speedometer in
the long term, the central position of the belt must be checked monthly
according to the instructions supplied by the treadmill manufacturer,
and readjusted, if required.
Whenever faults occur or in case of doubt, the manufacturer or sales partner authorized by
zebris must always be contacted.
