The ARTROMOT®-S4 Patient Chip Card serves as a vital component in streamlining shoulder rehabilitation therapy, creating a seamless bridge between clinical prescription and patient execution. Designed to work exclusively with the ARTROMOT®-S4 Continuous Passive Motion (CPM) device, this memory card stores individual treatment parameters and patient data, ensuring consistent and accurate therapy delivery every session. By saving specific settings such as range of motion, speed, and force, the chip card allows for instant machine configuration, significantly reducing setup time for healthcare professionals. Furthermore, it acts as a reliable compliance monitor, recording therapy duration and usage to provide therapists with objective data regarding the patient’s recovery progress.

Key Features and Benefits

Automated Setup: Instantly programs the ARTROMOT®-S4 device with the patient's specific treatment parameters upon insertion, eliminating the need for manual inputs and reducing the risk of setting errors.
Compliance Documentation: Automatically records treatment data, including usage time, allowing physicians and therapists to verify that the prescribed rehabilitation protocol is being followed.
Portable Treatment Profile: Enables the transfer of patient settings between different S4 units, making it ideal for clinics with multiple devices or for patients transitioning between hospital and home care.
Data Security: Ensures that therapy limits are locked in according to the prescription, preventing accidental adjustments that could compromise the safety of the recovering joint.
Reusable Format: Durable construction allows the card to be reprogrammed for different phases of rehabilitation or used for subsequent patients after data is cleared.

Indications

The Patient Chip Card is indicated for use with ARTROMOT®-S4 devices during the postoperative or conservative management of shoulder conditions. It is essential for monitoring therapy in cases such as:

Arthrotomy and arthroscopy procedures in combination with synovectomy or arthrolysis.
Surgically treated fractures of the clavicle, scapula, or humeral head.
Total shoulder replacement (endoprostheses).
Rotator cuff repairs and acromioplasty.
Mobilization of the shoulder joint under anesthesia (e.g., for adhesive capsulitis).
