5.2 How to switch the platform on/off The platform is switched on and off by software control as soon as the zebris FDM software on the PC is started. If the device has been connected correctly, the green LED operating indicator illuminates on the housing of the platform.
For the connection of the FDM platform with the mains, connect the power supply with the mains socket and the power socket in the connector compartment. Exclusively use the power supply unit approved by zebris for the op- eration of the FDM platform, which is suitable for the power supply of your platform.

Damaged power sup- plies, cables or connection sockets immediately must be replaced WARNING by a person authorised to do so. zebris Medical GmbH FDM Technical Data and Operating Instructions Page 34/48...
Finally connect the USB socket in the connector compartment and a free USB interface of your computer by using the provided USB cable. Your measuring system is now ready for use. The control of a measurement exclusively is carried out via the zebris FDM software. Therefore, please carefully read the zebris FDM user manual.
Different measurements (e.g., P.R. Cavanagh, The Foot (1994) 4, 123-135) show an in- crease of plantar pressure peaks of about 30 % by acrosclerosis (e.g., weals). The interpre- tation of measurement data has to include the existence of plantar acrosclerosis. zebris Medical GmbH FDM Technical Data and Operating Instructions Page 37/48...
• The maintenance of the device or its components, going beyond the procedures de- scribed in this user manual, must exclusively be carried out by zebris Medical GmbH or a person who has been explicitly authorized by zebris to do this.
In case of deviations larger than > ±5% of max range a recalibration at manufacturers side is required. I case of any doubts about the accuracy of the measurement it is highly recommended to send the platform to zebris premises for recalibration. zebris Medical GmbH FDM Technical Data and Operating Instructions...
Are all further components of the measuring system (infrared synchronisation with zebris DAB-Bluetooth, video camera) properly connected?

6.5 Disposal 6.5.1 Packaging All transport packaging delivered by zebris can be recycled within Ger- many via the local recycling depots. To provide the reuse of the recyclable material contained in the packaging, the zebris Medical GmbH takes part in the dual ZENTEK system that takes over the proper disposal of pack- aging.
The FDM System may only be coupled with other electrical devices if these conform to the provisions of DIN EN 60950 or DIN EN 60601- 1 or zebris Medical GmbH has confirmed their compatibility. WARNING When coupling several devices to one measuring station, please note that no danger through summation of leakage currents can occur.
In case of non-observance, dangerous leakage currents can occur. The computer and other non-medical electrical equipment (e.g., cam- era equipment, lights) must be located beyond the reach of the patients (1.5m). WARNING zebris Medical GmbH FDM Technical Data and Operating Instructions Page 44/48...
• If multiple sockets are used jointly for components of the FDM platform, that are allowed to be located within the vicinity of the patient (e.g., FDM platform or other zebris measur- ing systems) and components that have to be outside the vicinity of the patient (e.g. PC, video camera), the multiple socket and complete interconnection of the system must ad- here to all the requirements of DIN EN 60601-1 Section 16.

The use of accessories, particularly cables for connecting to the PC, that are not supplied by zebris for use with the FDM platform, or ex- plicitly recommended for use with the device, can lead to a reduced resistance to EMC interference of the FDM platform.
