Treatment Instructions
• The CervicalStim device should be worn for 4 hours each day as prescribed by a
physician.
• The CervicalStim device may be used at any time of day that is most convenient for
the patient.
• The device is programmed to reset daily at midnight Central Standard Time, unless
adjusted by a physician or Orthofix representative for a different time zone or reset
time.
• Hours worn before the reset time will be logged and stored in the device for daily use
compliance.
• The overall treatment duration (months/weeks) will vary based on specific patient
conditions as determined by a physician.
• Because the CervicalStim device is lightweight and portable, treatment can be
received while sitting, walking, reclining, sleeping, etc. However, since each patient
is unique, the overall activity level should be based on physician instructions.
Timing of Treatment Sessions
• The CervicalStim device tracks the treatment time; this tracking (or timing) begins
when the device is turned on and at least one minute of treatment is complete.
• The LCD shows a countdown of the daily treatment time remaining.
• To stop treatment at any point, simply press and hold the On/Off Button until you
hear a beep.
• To resume treatment, press the On/Off button again.
• The countdown will resume at the remaining daily treatment time.
• When daily treatment is completed, the device will automatically turn off.
Charging the Battery
The CervicalStim device is powered by a rechargeable lithium-ion battery pack. The
battery pack will provide at least one full treatment before needing to be recharged.
A power supply to charge the battery is provided with the device. Use only the
Orthofix power supply to charge the battery (Part no. Orthofix 20110412, 20114794,
WR9QA1200U23KIT(R6B), 20123808, 20123807, or 20123810).
To ensure that the device is functioning properly, the CervicalStim device constantly
monitors battery voltage and the electrical signal. The LCD will display a battery
capacity symbol and the device will beep to alert the patient when the battery is low
and will soon need to be recharged.
The CervicalStim device should be charged before the first use and every day after
completing treatment. Do not wear the device while charging. The device will not
deliver treatment while charging.
