6 Preparation for use

6.1 Information on fabrication of a prosthesis
CAUTION
Incorrect alignment, assembly or adjustment
Injuries due to incorrectly installed or adjusted as well as damaged prosthetic components
► Observe the alignment, assembly and adjustment instructions.
CAUTION
Initial use of the prosthesis by the patient
Fall due to lack of patient experience, incorrect alignment or incorrect adjustment of the pros­
thesis
For the safety of the patient, use a suitable device (e.g. parallel bars, handrail, wheeled
►
walker) during initial standing and walking.
6.2 Bench alignment of the prosthesis
INFORMATION
The prosthetic components and prosthesis shown in the illustrations are used as examples to
illustrate the general process. The instructions for use of the prosthetic components selected for
the patient contain detailed information and have to be used for fabrication of the prosthesis.
► CAUTION! To enable the patient to stand safely, align the prosthesis using the alignment
images for the sagittal plane (Fig.
page 4) as well as the instructions for use of all prosthesis components that were used.
Tube adapter
CAUTION
Incorrect processing of tube
Fall due to damage to the tube
► Do not clamp the tube into a vice.
► To shorten the tube, use only a tube cutter or a cutting device.
CAUTION
Incorrect mounting of the tube
Risk of injury due to breakage of load-bearing components
► Slide the tube all the way to the stop in the intended prosthetic component when mounting.
CAUTION
