Page 3: Introduction
The microFET2 is a portable ‘Force Evaluation and Testing’ system, designed by Hoggan Health Industries Inc., USA and marketed by ProCare B.V. The microFET2 fits in the palm of your hand. The sophisticated strain gauge elements located within the transducer react independently to measure external forces that are applied to the transducer. -
Page 4: Testing Method
Testing Method For reliable testing of muscles with the microFET2 one should have adequate knowledge of human anatomy and muscle function (agonist/antagonist, joint movement and compensation by other muscles). This knowledge is necessary to isolate the muscle or muscle group that has to be tested and to stabilize the subject by giving resistance to any unwanted movements of the subject’s body. -
Page 5: Reproducibility
Reproducibility It is virtually impossible for a subject to apply for instance 50% of maximum muscle force. The only force that is reproducible is maximum force. To ensure the reproducibility of the force- measurement, all factors that have influence on the measurement must be kept constant. -
Page 6: Microfet2 Features
MicroFET2 Features The digital read-out of the microFET2 is shown in two Liquid Crystal Displays (LCD's). There are two displays: PEAK FORCE: real-time read-out of force during testing the maximum force applied during the test (peak force) is displayed after testing when the applied force is released DURATION/Secs: the duration of the test is shown in seconds. - Page 7 Figure 1: microFET2 Features Duration display Peak Force display Transducer pad Threshold button ON/OFF switch Reset button www.procarebv.nl/sp MicroFET2 Features - 6...

Page 8: Units Of Measurement
Units of measurement With the microFET2, the measurement results can be presented in different units: lbs. newtons Kgf. The desired unit of measurement can be selected prior to the measurement; Hold down the ‘threshold’-button for 5 seconds. A dash will appear behind the current unit setting in the ‘peak force’-display. -
Page 9: Batteries
Batteries The microFET2 uses two 1/2 AA 3.6 Volt Lithium rechargeable batteries. When the batteries are getting low both displays will show ‘LO’. To replace the batteries unscrew the testing pad. Now you see the batteries. Carefully remove them and put in new ones. Battery Saver: microFET2 has a self-activating ‘sleep’... -
Page 10: Maintenance
Maintenance The microFET2 is designed and build for years of reliable recording. Like any other precision instrument the microFET2 also requires cautious handling. Dropping the unit or hitting the transducer can cause serious damage. The microFET2 is not water resistant. Cleaning should take place by wiping the surface with a soft damp cloth using a mild cleaner when necessary. -
Page 11: Calibration
Calibration We advise calibration of your microFET2 every year. This will guarantee that the microFET2 will always give you correct measuring data. ProCare is certified to perform the calibration. The calibration includes a detailed calibration report. Please contact ProCare for more information. -
