5.1 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.
►
Fabricating a prosthesis that is optimally tailored to the patient demands technical knowledge of
orthopaedic technology. The alignment and adjustments may only be carried out by a prosthetist.
The alignment and adjustments are mainly completed in the following steps:

1. Bench alignment

2. Static alignment
3. Dynamic trial fitting
These steps are first carried out with a test prosthesis in order to determine the best possible
combination and positioning of the prosthetic components relative to each other. Once all set­
tings have been tailored to the patient, the definitive prosthesis is produced. The same steps are
repeated for this purpose.
In dynamic trial fitting, the patient must be given sufficient time to become familiar with the func­
tions of the prosthesis, thereby learning safe use for everyday life.

5.2 Information on Using a Cosmetic Cover

CAUTION
Use of talcum
Risk of injury, damage to the product due to lack of lubrication
► Do not use talcum on the product or other prosthesis components.
► Only use the foam cover approved by the manufacturer (see section "Combination Possibilit­
ies" – see Page 19).
► To reduce friction and to eliminate noise, apply 519L5 Silicone Spray directly onto the contact
surfaces of the cosmetic foam cover.
► After fabricating the cosmetic cover, repeat the dynamic trial fitting since the cover affects the
adjustments of the prosthesis (e.g. damping).
5.3 Bench Alignment
Use 2Z11=KIT
INFORMATION: The connection area of the prosthetic knee joint can be protected against
scratches with the protective film of the 2Z11=KIT during alignment in the workshop and testing
in the trial fitting area.
► Use the protective film as illustrated in the accompanying document for the 2Z11=KIT.
