III. SAFETY RULES
Warning
Please read this user’s guide very carefully before use.
Advise all recommendations to end-user and keep him informed of all risks endured using the
system.
MOTIONCONTROLLER™ must be plugged using equipment in compliance with INTO standard
60950-1 via USB2 port with the provided cable. In order to fulfill safety requirements for electromedical systems and equipments, power must be supplied by a transformer in compliance with the
EN standard 60601-1.
MOTIONPOD™ is the only part in contact with the patient, so by no means they’re to be in contact
with the MOTIONCONTROLLER™ or the computer during use. Patients are to be held at 1,20m to
1,60m away from this equipment.

CAUTION: For your own safety do not open the charging case, risk of electric shock.
Waste management process of electric and electronic products differs from that of municipal waste
and requires special intervention from waste management services appointed by the government or
the local community. The crossed trashcan shows that the European directive 2002/96/CE applies
to this product.
Waste separation prevents from any negative consequences on the environment or public health. It
is the most important condition for better handling and recycling electric and electronic
components. For more information about handling of worn out equipments, contact your local
waste management service or the nearest product distributor.
It is highly recommended not to connect any peripherals (modem, printers…) other than the
MOTIONCONTROLLER™ on the computer during the use of the system. The MOTIONPOD™ has a Li
Ion battery and therefore must be recycled according to current standards. It must be returned to
the manufacturer.

IV. INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing our motion sensing product MotionPod™.
This user manual was written to familiarize you with the use of this system. Read it carefully in
order to rightfully use the device. Always have this guide near you when you use this product.
The MotionPod is an electronic goniometric recording device with wireless transmission. It was
conceived to provide “movement signature” of a body segment in real time and without cable
connection.
Its main purpose is to compare series of rehabilitation exercises with prior exercises, movement
amplitudes gestures protocols etc… carried out for limb rehabilitation (for example of joint
extensions).
This product designed and manufactured by Movea, is well adapted for biomechanical applications,
rehabilitation and joint assessment in physical therapy. For this reason, it must be used in a
controlled environment, at your work place, and by qualified personnel. The user of MotionPod
must have red and understood this notice.
The MOTIONPOD™ System is provided with software that must be the only software solution to be
used with this product.
