4 General safety instructions

CAUTION
Reaching into the area of the joint mechanism
Pinching of limbs (e.g. fingers) and the skin due to uncontrolled
joint movement
► Do not reach into the joint mechanism during daily use.
► Close attention is required during assembly and adjustment
tasks.
CAUTION
Mechanical damage to the product
Risk of injury due to change in or loss of functionality
► Use caution when working with the product.
► If the product is damaged, check it for proper function and readi­
ness for use.
► In case of changes in or loss of functionality, do not continue
using the product (see "Signs of changes in or loss of functional­
ity during use" in this section).
► Take any necessary measures (e.g. repair, replacement, inspec­
tion by the manufacturer's customer service, etc.).
Signs of changes in or loss of functionality during use
Changes in functionality can manifest themselves, for example,
through a changed gait (swing phase, stance phase), incomplete
extension, stiffness and the development of noise.

7 Preparation for use

7.1 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 incor­
rect adjustment of the prosthesis
► For the safety of the patient, use a suitable device (e.g. parallel
bars, handrail, wheeled walker) during initial standing and walk­
ing.

7.2 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 instruc­
tions 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 pros­
thesis using the alignment images for the sagittal plane and front­
3
al plane (Figure on page 4) as well as the instructions for use
of all prosthetic components that were used.
