LNE G'MED 1. INTRODUCTION The ROTAM is a device which allows diagnosis of complete or partial failures of the anterior crossed ligament of the knee and associated ligaments. The principle of the device is to lead a rotation effort of the tibia relative to the femur and to measure the resistance of knee ligaments at this opposite rotation.
A motor and rotation sensors rotation module A protect Patella attachment with connections straps Force sensor A 2m cable to connect the ROTAM to the electric An USB-A/USB-B cable An emergency power supply (1,80m) stop button Electrodes cable A 1.7m mains power cable...
4.1.2 Installation of the ROTAM The ROTAM must be on an examination table in order to place easily the legs on this device. The patient must be lie down on the table and put his head on the headrest (optimal relaxation).
LNE G'MED 4.2. Connections Connect the power supply cable to the ROTAM then connect the PC to the device using the USB cable. Connect the power supply bloc to the sector (tension 100- 240 V ~ 2 A 50/60 Hz).
You have the possibility, if you wish, to install ROTAM software on a PC. The computer and the USB cable associated to the ROTAM and on which will be installing the ROTAM software, must be accord to the norm EN 60950-1.
