Electrode Cover Patches
Electrode cover patches are available to be used for non-casted
applications by patients who are experiencing difficulty keeping
the electrode pads in good contact with the skin.
When the electrode cover patch is properly applied over the
electrode pad, the patient will be able to shower without
removing the electrode pad. (Figure 8)

Foam Spacers
Foam spacers are to be used only in casted applications.
Depending on the thickness of the cast, place a spacer over
each of the electrodes in the window openings. The spacer
should fill the gap in the cast, but should not create excessive
pressure on the electrodes when wrapped. When the cast is
very thin, spacers are not needed. (Figure 5)
To Begin Treatment
Connect the two electrode wires into the lead wire. Insert the
lead wire plug into the jack at the top of the stimulator, shown
in Figure 6.
If the stimulator is functioning properly, the stimulator display
will indicate
(Figure 7). This means that the electrodes are
properly applied, the battery is functioning, and the device is
delivering therapeutic current.
If the device is not functioning properly, an audible alarm and
LED light will appear with an alarm indication (See LCD Symbol
Description and Instructions Page 14).
If the audible alarm and alarm condition indicates low battery,
the battery voltage is too low. Insert a freshly charged battery
pack and recharge the used battery pack.
See LCD Symbol Descriptions and Instructions on Page 14 for
other alarm conditions.
Lead Wires
Lead wires are used to connect the electrode pads to the Biomet
®
OrthoPak
®
Non-invasive Bone Growth Stimulator System. Lead
wires are provided in two lengths: 20, and 48 inches. Additional
lengths are available from Zimmer Biomet.
