General Operating Instructions

This section describes the operation of the BioniCare Hand System for
the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis of the hand. Each patient should read
and become completely familiar with the written operating instructions.

Preparation and Treatment

Charging the Battery for the Signal Generator:
The Signal Generator is powered by a single rechargeable Lithium Ion
battery. The battery charger fully charges the battery in four hours. Use only
the charger supplied by VQ OrthoCare as improper charging can cause heat
damage or even high pressure rupture. Do not use any battery that shows
any signs of corrosion, leaking or other damage. Replace corroded, leaking
or damaged batteries.

Prior to applying the BioniCare device, the wrist and hand must be washed
with soap and water. The wrist and hand do not need to be dried completely;
they can be left moist. Remove all jewelry form the hand and wrist.
