The linkage can be detached by pulling the electrode cable upwards
at a right angle to the Transducer (Fig. 5). If the cable is to be pressed
back into place again, cut off approx. 5 mm from the loose end of the
electrode cable and repeat the procedure beginning with step 2.
8 Assembly of Pull-Cable and Stirrup (Fig. 6, Fig. 7)
The Transducer is delivered with a pre-assembled pull-cable. When mount-
ing the Transducer to a provisonal socket or permanent prosthesis you must
connect the free end of the pull-cable to the stirrup (Fig. 1, item 2).
1) Determine the necessary cable length, but do not yet shorten the
cable.
2) Form a loop and feed the cable into the stirrup (Fig. 6).
3) Place the wedge into the stirrup and tighten the pull-cable (Fig. 7).
Then check the length of the cable and adjust if necessary. Remove wegde
for corrections. When you have the correct length of cable, you may cut off
the free end.
9 Lamination and Assembly Information (Fig. 8 to Fig. 15)
1) Transfer the position of the Transducer from the provisional socket to the
permanent prosthesis (Fig. 8).
2) Form the foam core for the permanent outer socket with the help of the
743A23 Alignment Tool for ErgoArm following the 647H447 Instruction
Manual (Fig. 9).
3) Affix the 9X55 Lamination Pattern on the predetermined position of the
permanent prosthesis with a double-sided adhesive tape (Fig. 10).
4) Cover the socket with a 99B25 Nylon Stockinette first (Fig. 11-13),
followed by a 99B81 PVA Bag.
5) Cover the socket with six layers of 623T3 Perlon Stockinette white
(Fig. 14).
6) Cover the socket with the 99B81 PVA Bag.
7) Tint the 617H19 Orthocryl Lamination Resin with 617Z2 Pigment Paste
and laminate the socket (Fig. 15).
Carefully follow the outline of the Lamination Pattern in order to prevent
the Transducer from slipping out from between the outer socket and the
Thermoplastic Inner Socket.
