Ossur ICEROSS SEAL-IN X5 Gebrauchsanweisung Seite 7

Note: If difficulties are experienced while donning the prosthesis, more
lubricant may be needed, or the valve is blocked.
Note: If stretching of the skin is experienced to be more to one side, the
lubrication might not be evenly distributed around the full circumference
of the seal.
Cleaning and care
Daily cleaning of the residual limb is essential. Use of a mild, pH
balance, 100% fragrance- and dye-free liquid soap is recommended. If the
skin is dry, apply a pH balance, 100% fragrance- and dye-free lotion to
nourish and soften the skin.
Clean the device daily after use and before first use.
• Turn the device inside out (Fig. 3).
• Wash with pH balanced, 100% fragrance- and dye-free liquid soap.
• After washing, rinse the device thoroughly with warm water (Fig. 9),
and pat dry on both sides with a lint-free cloth.
• The device can also be machine washed (40°C) with a mild detergent
and at low spin speed. Fabric softeners, bleaches, and other
products/cleaning solutions may result in device damage and should
not be used.
• The device shall be dried overnight before reuse.
• Always return the device to its neutral state immediately after
cleaning. Do not store inside-out as device damage may result.
• The device should not be exposed to excessive heat or sunlight.
• The seal must be clean and free from dirt before use.
Caution: Skin health should be monitored daily. In case of abnormal
symptoms, discontinue use of the device and contact the healthcare
professional immediately.
Caution: Be aware that common household or bath products may cause
or contribute to skin irritation, e.g., soaps, deodorants, perfumes,
abrasive cleaners, aerosol- or alcohol sprays.
Caution: If device use results in excessive perspiration such that stability
or suspension are compromised, it is recommended to remove the
device and dry off both the device and the residual limb.
SUPPLEMENTARY DEVICES
The following accessories can be used in conjunction with Össur seal liners.
Refer to Össur catalog for more information, e.g., sizing.
Iceross Distal Cup
®
The device is a prosthetic interface intended to be used as part of
a system that replaces a missing lower limb.
The device provides further cushioning for distally conical limbs with
poor soft tissue coverage. It conforms to the residual limb and can
therefore be used as a filling element to ensure full contact between the
silicone liner and the residual limb.
To correctly fit the device:
1. Measure the circumference of the residual limb 4 cm above the distal
end (Fig. 1).
2. Choose a device one or two sizes smaller than the measurement.
3. Roll the device directly over the limb.
4. When using a liner in combination with a Distal Cup, the liner
measurement should be made with the Distal Cup in place (i. e., over
the Distal Cup).
