User's Manual

5. Automatic data transmission.
When the scan is complete, the mat
will automatically transmit the data
to Podimetrics through the cellular
network. The shield light will blink
until the data transfer is complete.
If the mat is unable to communicate
with the cellular network the “no
cell signal” light will turn on.
Move the mat to a location with
stronger cellular reception, such as closer to a window, or to an
upper level floor.
Cellular coverage may not be available in all regions. Contact
Podimetrics if you have difficulty completing a transmission. The
data may not be transmitted outside of the United States.
6. Podimetrics Monitoring. If Podimetrics hasn’t received a scan
from your mat in a while, you may receive a call to make sure
everything is ok with you and your mat.
7. Thermogram Review. Your healthcare provider will review the
data from your mat periodically for signs of inflammation
through an online web application called the Thermogram
Explorer™. This application displays a thermal image of your feet
and allows the healthcare provider to analyze areas of elevated
temperature for each scan that is transmitted. He or she may
contact you for further evaluation based on their observations.
Care and Maintenance
Monthly cleaning. Once per month or as needed, wipe the top
surface of the mat with an evaporating disinfecting cleaner (like
Lysol®) and a clean cloth or cleaning wipes to remove any dirt or
residue that may build up and affect the sensor reading or make it
slippery. Let the mat completely air dry before use. If it is difficult
for you to clean while the mat is on the floor, you can place it on a
table.
CAUTION: Do not clean the mat with soap as it may leave a slippery
residue.
Battery charging. The low battery light will turn on when
the battery has about 10% capacity remaining. To charge, place the
mat upside down on a table or counter nearby an electrical outlet.
Plug in the charger to a standard wall outlet. Tilt the white charging
port out of its cavity on the bottom of the mat and plug in the
charger. Charging an empty battery takes about 8 hours and the
yellow “charging” light will turn off when complete. While the
mat is plugged in, a scan cannot be taken.
1. Tilt the port out 2. Plug in the charger
CAUTION:
• Use only the supplied charging cable for charging. Using other
cables may damage the internal electronics.
• Keep the charging cable off the floor and away from walkways
to prevent creating a trip hazard.
• Keep the charging cable out of the reach of children. The
charging cable may be a strangulation risk.
• Your charger may not work in other countries.
Mat Storage. Store the mat in its shipping box in a cool, dry place
out of direct sunlight. The materials may degrade over time if
exposed to sunlight or high temperatures.
Travelling with your mat. Feel free to take your mat with you in
its box and use it at your destination. Especially if flying, turn the
mat off while in transit. If you don’t plan to bring the mat with you,
call Podimetrics to let them know that you won’t be using it.
Mat Return. Contact Podimetrics for instructions for returning the
used mat. Do not dispose of the mat in a municipal trash facility as
the electronics may be damaging to the environment.
