5.7 Stimulation According to Doctor's Prescription

Switch on the OkuStim device by pressing the "ON/OFF/STOP" button (left) for at least one
second. A sequence of long and short beeps confirms that the device is switched on. If pos-
sible, check if your name is shown in the OkuStim display when switching on. Depending on
the treament pathway for your region, the stimulation parameters will appear in the display
instead of your name. This will be changed at the first follow-up visit in the eye clinic.
Connect the counter electrodes if you haven't done so, yet. Begin your therapy session by
pressing the "START" button (right).
During the stimulation, a regular sound – 1 beep per second – indicates the correct function
of the device. The remaining therapy time is shown in the display. The stimulation strength
increases slowly, at the beginning, until the therapeutic stimulation strength is reached. This
ramping-up phase is indicated in the display with a ramp symbol.

If the device cannot carry out the stimulation properly, this is signaled by acoustic signal. You
can find an overview of the acoustic signals and their meanings on page 23.
In such a case, interrupt the stimulation by pressing the „PAUSE" button (middle) and:
µ check if the OkuSpex is fitted correctly and the OkuEl electrodes are well positioned with
good contact to the eyes,
µ lubricate your eyes with eye drops,
µ check if the cable of the counter electrode is connected,
µ check if the plug of the OkuSpex is connected with the OkuStim,
µ resume stimulation by pressing "START" (right).
If the acoustic signal persists and OkuStim does not stimulate correctly, please contact your
optician/dealer.
