Can I leave the coin cell battery in the sensor insoles?
Yes, you can leave the coin cell batteries in the sensor insoles when they are not in use. The quiescence power consumption of OpenGo Sensor Insoles in Sleep Mode (sensor insoles are not moved) is extremely low. The system discharge in rest takes approx. 3 months to reach the deep discharge protection level.
How can I desinfect the sensor insoles?
Moticon Sensor Insoles can be desinfected using typical alcohol-based hand or device desinfectant sprays. Do not use pur fluids. The bottom side of the sensor insoles can be wiped after treatment with the desinfectant, the textile top-layer must be manually cleaned from particle contamination and desinfected with the spray.
Can I use the sensor insoles for longterm monitoring?
Yes, you can use OpenGo Sensor Insoles for longterm monitoring. The overall recording time depends on the settings for data acquisition, such as sample rate and included sensor channels. Moticon offers special data acquisition settings and a Smart Recording Mode mode for collecting longterm gait profiles over long periods. Read more about the special features […]
