SYSTEM OVERVIEW

System Overview

This section provides you with general information about

the SafeGait 360° Balance and Mobility Trainer.

System Description

The SafeGait 360° Balance and Mobility Trainer is an over-ground dynamic body weight support (BWS)

system designed to provide solutions to key challenges in the current physical rehabilitation market.

• Patient and therapist injury risk

• Eciency of care

• Data collection and comparison

Proven fall prevention technology enables you to perform one-on-one treatment without fear of injury
to yourself or the patient. You can create treatment programs that safely challenge patients with gait

or balance impairment. SafeGait allows you to collect and compare meaningful patient performance

measurements through user-friendly software.

Intended Use

This device is used to provide a safe means of treating gait and balance impairment in individuals after
injury or illness. The design incorporates a constant fall arrest feature that allows physical therapists
to work with patients up to 350 lbs of various abilities to practice intensive gait and balance activities
without the fear of falling. By altering the amount of body-weight support the complexity of the gait,

balance or transfer task can be modulated. This exibility will allow patients of diering abilities to
practice walking, perform balance tasks, sit-to stand and oor-to-stand maneuvers, or stairs in a safe and

controlled environment. The unloading mechanism will be mounted to an overhead track and physical
therapist input is controlled via a graphical user interface.

Contraindications

Prior to use, all patients shall be deemed medically stable and appropriate by a healthcare professional
who has been trained on the system. Patients with the following diagnoses or symptoms shall not use
the system:

• Weight greater than 350 lb. (158.8 kg)

• Unstable fractures

• When loading of the hip, pelvic, abdominal and chest regions is prohibited

• Fractured ribs

• Large disc bulge/rupture

• Lower Extremity contractures that preclude ambulation

• Patients who cannot tolerate a standing or upright position

• Severe osteoporosis

• Skin ulcers on the trunk or lower limbs

• Neoplastic, degenerative or vascular disorders of the spine or spinal cord

Actuator

Actuator

System Components - Fig. 1

The actuator moves along the rail - aligned with the patient -

providing BWS and fall protection while collecting patient data, which

it transmits to the kiosk. A computer-controlled sensor maintains the
actuator’s location relative to the patient. A separate computer-con­trolled sensor ensures that tension on the strap is kept at a desired
value.

SafeGait 360° Balance and Mobility Trainer | Instructions for Use | SG360-IFU-004 Rev B

Ceiling-Mounted Rail

SYSTEM COMPONENTS

The ceiling-mounted rail is attached overhead, typically to a support

beam. The rail denes the patient’s horizontal walking path. The track
includes straight and/or curved sections that can form various cong-

urations including straight, J-shaped, and loop (racetrack) shapes. The
actuator runs along the rail on a set of wheels and receives power via
an integrated conductor bar. The rail contains an end stop and a limit
switch that protect the actuator by preventing it from reaching the very

end of the rail. Loop congurations do not contain the end stop and

limit switch.

Ceiling-Mounted Rail

DANGER: Do NOT touch the conductor bar inside the rail. This will result in serious injury
or death.

Strap

Strap

The strap connects the actuator to the spreader bar. The software follows the
position of the strap, maintaining the position of the actuator relative to the
patient. The actuator responds to the load that is placed on the strap.

NOTICE: The system has an upper limit which limits the minimum distance between
the actuator cover and the end of the strap to three (3) inches. Facilities with a minimal
rail mounting height (top of rail, 8’ 8”) may be limited in treating certain taller patients
(maximum 6’ 2”) on the ground or elevated surfaces such as stairs or a treadmill.

Dangers

To avoid the possibility of serious injury or death or other serious adverse reaction associated with the
use of the system:

• Do NOT touch the conductor bar inside the rail. This will result in serious injury or death.

Precautions

To avoid the possibility of injury or a problem with the system associated with its use:

• Do not operate this system if you have not been adequately trained in how to use this device.

• Using any accessories not provided by Gorbel Medical can result in injury.

• Do not use the system for any purpose other than the stated intended use.

• Ensure that all personnel using the system have a thorough understanding of the technical princi-

ples, clinical applications, and risks associated with physical rehabilitation procedures.

• Restrict the use of the system to personnel trained in physical rehabilitation procedures with this
system or to usage under the supervision of such personnel.

• Ensure that the patient’s correct weight has been entered before attaching the patient to the
system; an incorrect value may result in the patient receiving a higher or lower amount of BWS than

expected.

• Ensure that the patient’s correct height has been entered before attaching the patient to the system;
an incorrect value may result in the patient receiving a higher or lower amount of downward travel
than expected when the Descent Limit is activated and a fall is detected.

• Do not attach a patient who weighs more than 350 lb. (158.8 kg) to the system.

• Measure and t the harness to the patient carefully; a patient in discomfort might make certain

movements that put them at risk.

• Use care when assisting patients into and out of the harness; the patient can become tangled in the
straps and fall.

• Use care when attaching the patient harness to the spreader bar to reduce the risk of a fall.

• Do not use the system for patient transport (i.e., lifting the patient fully o the ground).

• Do not allow the patient to engage in an activity that (ascend high stairs, jumping) might cause him/

her to come in contact with the actuator.

• Do not touch the rail with your hands or any physical object; the system is powered by 480 VAC.

• Do not touch the actuator while the system is in operation.

• Handle the spreader bar with caution; specically, do not pull down then release the spreader bar.

• In an emergency, such as an electrical outage, immediately discontinue the current task, remove

SafeGait 360° Balance and Mobility Trainer | Instructions for Use | SG360-IFU-004 Rev B

GENERAL WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS

• Connect the system to a main power system (general-purpose alternating-current (AC) electric
power supply) with an earthing or grounding system that provides a protective earth (PE) connection
to avoid the risk of electrical shock.

• Do not modify the system; in addition to the risks listed above, doing so voids the warranty.

• Do not attempt to service or repair the system.

• Do not use the system if maintenance is required.

• Do not use the system if the actuator is wet; for example, from a sprinkler system.

• If there is suspicion of electromagnetic interference from other electrical devices, shut down nearby

devices, one-by-one, to locate the source of the interference

• Ensure that the patient harness connected to the spreader bar is neither too narrow nor too wide;
the performance of the load sensors in the actuator might be adversely aected.

• Follow the IFU carefully to prevent movement of the patient with sharp, quick motions.

• Do not manually move the actuator along the track by pulling on the actuator strap.

• Do not perform jumping-based tasks.

 ◉ Patients might ascend beyond the upper limit of the device and might adversely aect system

functionality.

 ◉ This can cause the system to detect a fall due to the accelerated speed of the patient’s down-

ward movement.

• Do not use accessories that are not specied by the manufacturer.

• Therapists using the system should always practice standard guidelines for Environmental Infection

Control.

• Using a non-SafeGait spreader bar can result in injury.

• If there is a loss of communication between kiosk and actuator, this will be indicated by a ‘WHITE
LED’ on the status bar and an error message on the kiosk/handheld. If communication loss occurs

during a patient fall it could result in severe discomfort. If communication is not re-established

within two (2) minutes, then follow these steps: 1) Support the patient with assistance from other
sta if needed or other available equipment nearby. 2) Use the Positioning screen to introduce
‘slack’ on the Actuator Strap and Shoulder Straps while continuing to support patient. 3) Disconnect
Shoulder Straps from the Harness while patient is supported. 4) Get patient into safe position such
as chair or mat table. 5) Call Gorbel Medical support.

• Inspect the harness prior to each use. Do not use if the harness straps are torn or show signs of

wear, there is separation in the harness stitching, or the VELCRO® Brand attachments are unable

to adhere. Leg Cus must be attached to the harness torso during use. Contact Gorbel Medical at

1-844-846-8744 to order a replacement harness.

• Positioning the patient outside of the area dened in the Patient Movement Table can result in

premature wear on the strap, increasing the likelihood of injury.

• While positioning the actuator, ensure the patient is not in the path between current and desired
starting location of the actuator.

• Do not detach shoulder straps from the spreader bar while patient is being supported. This can lead
to patient injury.

• If the therapist observes that the applied BWS is noticeably more or less than the desired BWS the
patient may become understandably fatigued. In this situation, contact Gorbel Medical for assis-

tance.

TRACKING PATIENT MOVEMENT

Tracking Patient Movement

Strap Angle

The SafeGait® 360 Actuator reacts to patient movement with a minimal applied force. During transfer
activities, the Strap maintains a constant tension as the patient moves up and down. As the patient

moves horizontally, the Actuator travels along the rail with them in a neutral overhead position or slightly
behind. A high ceiling height can result in the Actuator tracking slightly behind the patient instead of
directly overhead.

POSITIONING AND HORIZONTAL LOCK

Positioning and Horizontal Lock

This section describes how to position the actuator and the spreader bar.

Position the Actuator

The actuator should be positioned directly over the patient before connecting the patient harness to the
spreader bar.

1. Depending on which screen you are currently on, touch

POSITIONING from the left-hand menu or the bottom of the

screen.

2. From the Device Position area of the POSITIONING screen,

touch and hold the left or right arrows in order to move the

actuator to the desired position.

The triple-arrow symbol on the screen corresponds to the triple­arrow symbol on the bottom of the actuator. This indicates the
direction of movement.

Device Position

NOTICE: Positioning the Actuator either in front of or behind the patient could lead to
discomfort.

CAUTION: While positioning the actuator, ensure the patient is not in the path between
current and desired starting location of the actuator.

36

SafeGait 360° Balance and Mobility Trainer | Instructions for Use | SG360-IFU-004 Rev B

POSITIONING AND HORIZONTAL LOCK

Position the Spreader Bar

The spreader bar should be positioned low enough to attach the patient harness via the spreader bar
straps, without coming into contact with the patient’s head (1”-2”). The therapist should hold the spreader
bar securely to prevent contact with the patient’s head.

1. If necessary, touch POSITIONING.

2. From the Spreader Bar Position area of the POSITIONING
screen, touch and hold the up or down arrows in order to

move the spreader bar to the desired position.

3. After connecting the patient harness to the spreader bar,
tighten the spreader bar straps until there is tension. Ensure

that the straps are symmetrical and that the spreader bar is
parallel with the oor.

NOTE: an error alert will appear if the amount of upward
movement applied during this action creates and uplifting
force on the patient.

Depending on where you accessed the POSITIONING screen from, Select a Patient or press BEGIN
SESSION, EXIT SESSION or JUST GO to continue.

Contact Gorbel Medical | Phone: [phone] | E-mail: [e-mail]

37

POSITIONING AND HORIZONTAL LOCK

4. A guide used to show the correct distance between the spreader bar and the top of the patient’s
head is attached to the spreader bar cover. Pull the spreader bar guide down in order to check
the distance between the spreader bar and the patient’s head.

NOTICE: It is very important to maintain proper distance between the spreader bar
and the patient’s head. Use the spreader bar guide throughout a therapy session to
check the distance and adjust the harness or spreader bar straps as necessary to
maintain the proper position. A distance greater than dictated by the guide may result
in reduced system reaction to the patient’s horizontal movement.

Spreader Bar Guide

CAUTION: Do not detach shoulder straps from the spreader bar while patient is being
supported. This can lead to patient injury.

When the System is in Horizontal Lock

The actuator can be locked in place to prevent forward or backward movement on the rail. Please note
that even in this Horizontal Locked state, if a fall is prevented, the actuator may move slightly, in order to
protect both the patient (by reducing the impact of their fall) and the system.

 ◉ If you would like to count the patient positioning as a

repetition, touch CONTINUE & COUNT THIS REPETI-
TION.

 ◉ Otherwise, simply touch CONTINUE.

NOTICE: A transfer task cannot begin unless the repetition limits are set.

7. With DFP, the actuator distinguishes the dierence between the patient’s intentional downward
movements - for example, while transferring from a standing to sitting position - and the unin­tentional downward movement of a fall by measuring the velocity of the patient’s downward
movement.

 ◉ DFP SENSITIVITY is the relative level of downward speed on the strap that is required to

trigger fall detection. The sensitivity level is adjustable, allowing you to accommodate patients
with varying levels of independence. A very independent patient might move more quickly
while performing a task than a patient who is more impaired. In the former case, the Medium
or Low sensitivity setting might be appropriate.

 ◉ DFP SENSITIVITY can be set to a default of High or Medium. For more information, refer to

the Settings section.

 ◉ If it is necessary to adjust the DFP SENSITIVITY setting for a task, toggle the DFP SENSITIVITY

bar, located at the bottom right of the TASK MONITORING screen, to the desired setting.

High: Fall detection is triggered by a relatively low amount of downward speed on the strap; for

patients with a severe level of impairment.

Medium: Fall detection is triggered by a medium amount of downward speed on the strap; for
patients with a moderate level of impairment.

Low: Fall detection is triggered by a relatively high amount of downward speed on the strap; for
patients with a mild level of impairment.

42

SafeGait 360° Balance and Mobility Trainer | Instructions for Use | SG360-IFU-004 Rev B

NOTICE: A DFP SENSITIVITY of High might trigger false fall detection when performing

oor-based or sit-to-stand tasks.

8. Descent Limit

Descent Limit is a set amount of downward travel that the system allows before registering a
prevented fall. The amount ranges from 2-6 inches and is determined by the patient’s height. The
Descent Limit amount increases incrementally with the patient’s height. The Descent Limit travel
distance remains constant for a patient but the starting position for measuring the travel distance
can be adjusted to accommodate the performance tasks at varying levels (sitting or standing). It

is important to ensure that the starting position for activating the Descent Limit is reset as
needed as you move from one task to the next, (i.e. from sit-to-stand to Stairs or a Gait
task) to prevent the patient from descending too far before fall detection or limiting
desired patient downward movement. Descent Limit is initially engaged when BWS is applied

to the patient. The Descent Limit can be deactivated during a task or reset in order to allow
patients to perform tasks from a lower position, such as the transfer task of sit to stand. Even
when the Descent Limit is deactivated, the proprietary DFP remains active. An example of when
you might choose to deactivate the Descent Limit is when performing a transfer task that

requires the patient to work from the oor, such as supine to sit. When the Descent Limit is

deactivated, extra precautions should be taken by the therapist to ensure that an appropriate

DFP SENSITIVITY level is engaged.

TASKS

CAUTION: Improperly setting the Descent Limit can result in injury.

If it is necessary to disable the Descent Limit, toggle the DESCENT LIMIT bar, located at the
bottom right of the TASK MONITORING screen, to the NONE setting. On the handheld remote
control, the bar is labeled DL.

When the DESCENT LIMIT is active, the DFP SENSITIVITY is reduced slightly to allow for greater
freedom of movement while relying on the DESCENT LIMIT as a redundant means of fall protec­tion.

USAGE TIP: Consider using the Descent Limit feature to safely demonstrate to the

patient the way in which fall protection feels when it is engaged by having the patient
bend at the knees until fall protection is activated.

9. Horizontal Lock

HORIZONTAL LOCK can be toggled to prevent the actuator from moving horizontally at any point
during a task. Tap the HORIZONTAL LOCK bar, located at the bottom-right of the TASK MONI-
TORING screen, to the ON or OFF setting (OFF by default). This can otherwise be toggled on the
handheld device by tapping the lock icon on the top-right corner of the screen.

10. RPE Entry

To enable or disable the entry of the patient’s rating of perceived exertion (RPE) upon completion
of the task, slide the RPE ENTRY bar, located at the bottom right of the TASK MONITORING
screen to the ON or OFF setting, respectively.

For more information about RPE, refer to Step 12.

NOTICE: Do not use HORIZONTAL LOCK for resistance as it may damage the System. If

the patient exerts a large horizontal force on the system, the actuator will move slightly
to protect the patient and the device.

Note: DFP SENSITIVITY, DESCENT LIMIT, HORIZONTAL LOCK, and RPE ENTRY can also be set
on the Task Settings screen by touching SETTINGS, located at the bottom right of the TASK

MONITORING screen.

NOTICE: When using the Task Settings screen on the handheld remote control, take

extra care not to inadvertently make an incorrect selection; for example, touching the
RPE ENTRY On/O radio buttons when reaching for the Descent Limit On/O radio
buttons.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Troubleshooting

This section describes general troubleshooting information,

including solutions to common problems.

Overview

When the system detects a fault, the actuator LED status light bar changes to red and an ERROR screen
displays. The ERROR screen provides the option to reset the actuator.

When the actuator or the Patient Management Software issues a warning, the LED status light bar

changes to yellow and an A Warning Occurred screen displays. The A Warning Occurred screen
provides the option to reset the actuator. A warning is typically a circumstance under which the actuator
can continue to operate in a reduced condition or under which an operation is prevented until the correct
conditions for that operation are met.

When a patient fall is prevented by the system, the Falls Prevented screen displays and the actuator LED

status light bar changes to either blinking yellow if fall detection was due to exceeding the DFP Sensitivity

setting, or to blinking green if fall detection was due to exceeding the Descent Limit.
