Furniss Corporation · Model Phoenix Model 1800
Proper anatomical therapy, accurate range of motion and ultimate comfort for all patient types. Accommodates pediatric, athletic and bariatric patients Unique lift and bend motion provides proper anatomical fit, accurate range of motion and ultimate comfort for CPM patients. Axis to axis motion, skid pad and bed stabilizing system prevents migration ensuring a precise fit. The hand-held control pendant features a classic analog (turn dial) design easily understood by hospital staff and patients. Unique tripod position reduces contamination and offers a convenient storage option. Universal left/right design. Quick conversion from adult to pediatric. Units can be set up easily and quickly for conversion without the need for additional accessories. Knee CPM softgoods are constructed with deep pile synthetic sheepskin and high tensil strength Velcro to ensure patient comfort and proper positioning during therapy. One free set included.
Key tips
- ·Most "no output" stim-unit complaints are cable-side - check electrode/lead continuity before assuming a unit fault.
- ·Frame and strap wear on mechanical rehab equipment is a real fall/injury risk - don't defer it as cosmetic.
Typical Failure Modes
Failure patterns typical of this equipment class - general BMET reference, not verified against this exact unit's own service history unless flagged. Severity is a category-level estimate.
Motor / actuator wear
MediumSymptoms: Weak or erratic motion.
Root cause: Gear/motor fatigue.
Range-of-motion limit switch fault
MediumSymptoms: Won't reach set ROM, sudden stop.
Root cause: Limit switch or encoder wear.
Frame / joint pad wear
LowSymptoms: Patient discomfort, loose fit.
Root cause: Foam/pad compression over use.

- ·Frame and strap wear inspection
- ·Electrode lead continuity check
- ·Annual electrical safety test
Troubleshooting Approach
A structured starting point derived from the failure modes above. Follow the manufacturer's service documentation for the actual procedure.
Symptom: Motor / actuator wear
- Confirm the presentation - typically weak or erratic motion - and note the exact alarm or message and the conditions when it occurs.
- Check the most likely cause first: gear/motor fatigue.
- Isolate the affected subsystem using the manufacturer's functional check or self-test, where one is provided.
- If the fault is confirmed and not a field adjustment, service or replace the drive motor / actuator per the manufacturer's service documentation.
- Return the device to service only after the manufacturer's functional and applicable electrical-safety checks pass.
- Record the findings, any parts used, and the verification results in the maintenance history.
Symptom: Range-of-motion limit switch fault
