Recommended treatment time in the brace is 30-60 minutes on the first day
and increasing after that as you adjust to wearing the brace. The BioniCare
signal should be worn a minimum of 8-10 hours a day. It can be used in the
BioniCare wrap when the brace is not being worn. The more hours you treat
with the BioniCare signal, the sooner you will see improvements in your knee.
NOTE: If your device says "OPEN" after you get past 2.0 volts, the device is not
connected correctly or not making good contact.
• Make sure white side of electrode is against wrap and black gel is against
skin (Thigh Electrode: STEPS 5a and 5b; Knee Electrode: STEPS 7 - 8).
• Make sure electrodes are stuck to skin (STEPS 6 and 7) and wires are all
connected (STEPS 1B and 9).
• If electrodes are old, replace your electrodes.
If you cannot get the OPEN error to stop, try the troubleshooting section of the
