The patient’s weight is limited by the maximum permissible weight of the treadmill. For the application of the FDM-T with children or patients with severe movement disorders, a fall stop safety is strongly recommended.
2.2 Safety 2.2.1 Environmental conditions FDM-T Measuring Systems are suitable for application in dry interiors with level ground such as those in hospitals, doctors' surgeries and laboratories. Temperature range 10°C to 40°C Relative humidity 30% to 70% FDM-T systems must NOT be operated in wet zones, wet rooms (swimming pools, saunas) or climatic chambers.
the valid industrial safety regulations. the valid accident prevention. For the safety, reliability and performance of the components delivered by zebris, re- sponsibility is assumed, if: assembly, extensions, re-settings, changes or repairs were carried out through zebris or third parties authorised by zebris, trained technicians or employees of au- thorised dealers.
The patients’ data and measuring data may only be copied, moved, or deleted using the data-base function provided by the zebris application programs. In the case of data be- ing changed intentionally without using the database functions, the user alone bears the full risks involved.
2.2.5 Safety instructions for the Treadmill The treadmill belonging to the FDM-T Measuring System is a very powerful device. For safe operation of the FDM-T System it is mandatory to adhere exactly to the safety reg- ulations described in the following.
We also point out that if any changes are made to this certified device or its accessories without the prior written consent of zebris, your legal right to operate the device will be void. If changes are made to the device without obtaining approval, the operator is obli- gated to carry out suitable investigations and tests in order to guarantee safe use.

3.7 zebris SYNC The zebris SYNC is the standard solution for synchronization of the FDM-T system with third party measuring devices. The SYNC-IN and SYNC-OUT sockets provide input and output for support of „sample by sample“ In- and Out synchronization. Both sockets provide galvanic protection between third party systems and FDM-T sensor.
If a third party device is connected to the synchronization output SYNC-OUT then depend-ing on the setting of the configuration window of the application software, a FDM-T sys-tem- controlled, will trigger a synchronized measurement of the third party device either via start/stop or “sample by sample”...
3.7.3 IR-Synchronization Box for DAB-Bluetooth (zebris EMG) For synchronizing of the FDM-T system with the zebris DAB-Bluetooth the optionally avail- able IR synchronization box is required.

4 Video-Module 4.1 Conection to the FDM-T System The FDM-T system can capture data simultaneously with up to 2 video cameras like the zebris SYNCCam which is available as an accessory. Alternatively high quality DV- camcorders with an external microphone socket can be used for video capture.
4.2 SYNCCam The SYNCCam is an accessory of the FDM-T system and perfectly adapted to be used in combination with the force distribution measurement. All adjustments of the camera are carried out via hardware setup integrated to the zebris FDM Software. The camera is con- nected to the PC by a USB cable of type A-B included within the shipment.
The LED video lights SYNCLight and SYNCLight plus are accessories of the FDM-T sys- tems and perfectly adapted for use in combination with zebris SYNCCam as well as the force distribution measurement.

4.3.1 SYNCLight If the synchronization signal from the interface box of the FDM-T system is connected to the VIDEOSYNC socket the SYNCLight will be automatically turned on and off when a measurement is started or stopped. In order to use the synchronization set the SYNC-Mode switch to position SYNC. At posi- tion CONT the SYNCLight plus is switched on permanently.
4.3.2 SYNCLight plus The SYNCLight plus supports the zebris VIDEOSYNC as well as more complex synchro- nization modes that may be required for use of industrial cameras. In order to use the synchronization modes set the SYNC-Mode switch to position SYNC.

6 Setup and Operation oft he FDM-T System 6.1 Positioning of the measuring system For setup, installation and safety related instruction of the treadmill please refer to the user manual of the treadmill manufacturer. NOTE A safety zone of at least 2m in length and 1m in width must be kept free immediately behind the treadmill in case the person should stumble.
For the commissioning of the FDM-T system for the stance and gait analysis, the associ- ated power supply, a USB cable type A-B as well as the installation CD with the zebris FDM application software are necessary. All components are included in the scope of de- livery of the FDM-T measuring system.
6.3 Connection of the measuring system to mains supply 6.3.1 Power supply of the FDM-T Sensors For connecting the FDM-T sensor to the power supply, connect the power supply unit to the mains socket and the power socket on the interface box.
For connecting the treadmill to the power supply, please additionally observe the respec- tive instructions in the Operating Instructions given by the treadmill manufacturer. The connection for the treadmill and FDM-T power supply unit must be plugged directly into the wall socket. It is not permissible to use extension cables and/or multiple sockets.
The requirements for the PC are specified in the User Manual of the zebris FDM software. If the computer is not supplied with the measuring system, the man- ufacturer shall not be held liable for any damage or malfunctions that result from defective software installation or incompatible hardware.
FDM user manual. 6.6 How to switch the FDM-T sensor On/Off The FDM-T sensor is switched on and off by software control as soon as the zebris FDM software on the PC is started or shut down.
6.8 Recommendations for recording There are a few things one should bear in mind for obtaining significant measuring results using the FDM-T system. The following points relate to the data recording of a person dur- ing gait and describe the ideal measuring situation.
User Manual supplied by the treadmill manufacturer. In order to keep the friction between the running belt and the FDM-T sensor as low as possible, the system must be lubricated at regular intervals with silicone oil. zebris rec- ommends lubricating at least every 6 months.
For further information please see the User Manual supplied by the treadmill manufacturer. For the FDM-T force sensors, no technical safety tests are stipulated by zebris. If the type plate or other important labels (warning notices) are damaged or obliterated they have to be replaced by the manufacturer for safety reasons.
7.4.2 Calibration Procedures The measuring accuracy of the FDM-T sensor is to be checked from time to time using a defined application of force. To do this, the user, knowing the body weight, can stand on the platform on one foot. The...
7.5 Trouble-Shooting In the case of faults, please first check the following points first: Are the FDM-T sensor and treadmill connected correctly to the mains? (Green Power LED on the interface box and power switch on the treadmill illumi- nates.) ...
WARNING For conformation that disinfection has been carried out, it is advised to place a visible sign on the running surface reading "disinfected". NOTE zebris Medical GmbH FDM-T Technical Data and Operating Instructions Page 56/65...
7.7 Disposal 7.7.1 Packaging All the transport packaging supplied by zebris can be recycled within Germany via the local recycling depots. In order to guarantee the re- use of the recyclables contained in the packaging, zebris Medical GmbH participates in the Dual System ZENTEK which takes over the proper disposal of the packaging.
8.1 Classification acc. to Annex IX of Directive 93/42/EEC If a CE mark with a four-digit number (0535) is imprinted on the type plate of your FDM-T system it is classified as a medical product of Class I with measuring function.
In case of non-observance, dangerous leakage currents can occur. The following components of the FDM-T system may be used in the vicinity of the patient: Treadmill (medical versions) ...
In commercially available multiple sockets, system components set up within and out- side the vicinity of the patient must never be plugged in together. (Example: It is forbid- den to connect the PC and the power supply unit of the FDM-T sensors to the same multiple socket.) ...
The use of accessories, particularly cables for connecting to the PC, that are not supplied by zebris for use with the FDM-T system, or explicitly recommended for use with the device, can lead to a re- duced resistance to EMC interference of the FDM-T system.
