When cleaning or disinfecting goniometers, remove them from the Ultium SmartLead to prevent liquid from leaking into the Ultium SmartLead and Sensor. When using SG series sensors, care should be taken during mounting so that the measuring element always forms a “simple”...
  • Page 18: Goniometer Maintenance

    2D Goniometer SmartLead User Manual 7.7 Goniometer Maintenance The sensors contain no user serviceable components. In the event of malfunction, the sensor should be returned to the supplier, accompanied by a description of what has been observed and what instrumentation was in use. No periodic maintenance is required to ensure the correct functioning of the sensors.
  • Page 19: Cleaning

    The 2D Goniometer SmartLead is not warranted against exposure to any of the conventional forms of sterilization(autoclave, heating, etc.). Users wishing to utilize this equipment in a sterile environment, such as an operating theater, should consult Noraxon for other options. When cleaning or disinfecting, the sensors must be disconnected from all instrumentation.

    2D Goniometer SmartLead User Manual In general, there are no fixed rules governing which size of sensor is most suitable for a particular joint; this depends on the size of the subject. The sensor must be capable of reaching across the joint so that the two endblocks can be mounted where least movement occurs between the skin and underlying skeletal structure.
  • Page 27 2D Goniometer SmartLead User Manual within the limits of the sliding endblock and without changing the relative angles between them, then the outputs remain constant. In certain applications, when mounting the goniometer across the joint, (for example when measuring flexion/extension of the wrist as shown in Fig. 3), the center of rotation of the sensor measuring element does not coincide with the center of rotation of the joint.

    2D Goniometer SmartLead User Manual 15.1.1 Crosstalk Crosstalk is defined as the ability of the goniometer to measure independently the simultaneous angular movements of a joint in 2 degrees of freedom. Most of the joints discussed in this manual do not have crosstalk, with the exception being the wrist and hip.
  • Page 30 2D Goniometer SmartLead User Manual Do not bend the sensor in the Y-Y direction more than  20 from the neutral position. This will result in reduced life or failure. The F35 sensor is designed to fit over the joint to be measured (figure 6). It has high flexibility and low operating force to ensure the instrument does not interfere with normal joint movement.
