► In case of changes in or loss of functionality, discontinue use of the product and have it checked by author­
ised, qualified personnel.
CAUTION
Risk of injury due to the use of unapproved components or spare parts
Components and spare parts that have not been authorised by the manufacturer may break. Only use compon­
ents and spare parts approved by the manufacturer for installation and service.
CAUTION
Explosion hazard
Do not throw the battery into fire. Never expose it to heat. Avoid direct sunlight. Please pass this information on to
your patient.
CAUTION
Excessive strain on load-bearing components
Injuries due to changes in or loss of functionality
► Only use the product for the defined area of application.
► If the product has been exposed to extreme strain (e.g. due to falling), take any necessary measures (e.g.
repair, replacement, inspection by the manufacturer's customer service etc.).
CAUTION
Risk of injury due to system joint bars coming loose
After the trial fitting and prior to final delivery, always bond the system joint bars to the knee joints. Ensure that a
setting time of 24 hours is allowed.
CAUTION
Risk of pinching
Ensure freedom of movement during flexion. Do not allow sockets to overlap. The knee joint has a maximum flex­
ion angle of 140°.
CAUTION
Risk of falling due to incorrect calibration
During auto-calibration, proceed according to the prescribed steps in order to avoid accidentally triggering the
joint.
CAUTION
Risk of falling due to improper operation of the service buttons
You must inform the patient that the service buttons must not be activated or manipulated.
CAUTION
Risk of injury during trial fitting
We recommend fabricating a trial orthosis in order to verify the functionality and fit of the orthosis before the final
orthosis is constructed. Patient suitability can also be verified by following this process. Ensure that the patient is
standing securely during this process in order to eliminate the risk of falling. Carry out the trial fitting between par­
allel bars.
CAUTION
Risk of injury due to incorrect patient selection
In the selection of patients, ensure that the patient can fully extend the knee during heel lift-off and heel strike.
