Hello, We have been working with the Myoton PRO for a couple of months. Recently, we noticed that the probe is not centered within the plastic ring that lights up during measurement. When the probe is ejected, it does not touch the ring but when it returns, it looks as if it touches the plastic ring itself. I do not think this should be the case but wanted to make sure. If it is an issue, how can we fix it? I already tried removing and re-inserting the probe, following manual instructions but no change to the probe location in the ejected or the "housed" position.
For precise and efficient use of the MyotonPRO device, a dual-hand operation technique is recommended. This approach improves control over the device's measurement position, enhancing both stability and convenience of measurements. The measurement position's axial range is 3.0mm wide, necessitating good control. To facilitate this, gently hold the device with your dominant hand and perform micro-adjustments using your wrist. Simultaneously support and stabilize your dominant arm using your other hand, ensuring that the device remains steady within the required range.
For accurate positioning, the MyotonPRO device is equipped with three indicators: 1. Green Probe Light: Indicates when you are entering or leaving the measurement position. 2. Probe Marker: A 3mm-wide marker on the probe serves as a visual guide to the measurement postion. 3. On-screen Instructions: Clear instructions such as 'Move into position!', 'Hold position!', and 'Move back!' to assist in the measurement process. While conducting measurements, it is important to keep focus on contact between the probe and the skin to avoid any lateral movement. Simultaneously, make use of the green light and the probe marker as guides for axial position of the device. This approach not only helps in maintaining proper contact between the probe and the skin but also facilitates convenient axial control of the measurement position.
Note: For optimal results, aim to position the device so that the probe marker is halfway exposed at the probe opening, indicating the center of the measurement range. Employing the described technique ensures effective and precise operation of the MyotonPRO device, contributing to the utmost reliability of the results. The accompanying images illustrate this instruction.
