This maintenance must be carried out only by competent personnel (practitioner or suitable

The following routine maintenance is to be carried out at least annually:
• Check the alignment bolt for tightness, see Construction section. If loose, remove and clean,
then apply Loctite and tighten to the correct torque setting.
• Check for defects that could affect proper function.
Ensure the user has read and understood all safety and user-level maintenance information.
Advise the user that a regular visual check of the limb is recommended and signs of wear that
may affect function should be reported to their service provider.
If this device is used for extreme activity, the maintenance level and interval should be reviewed
and if required advice and technical support sought to plan a new maintenance schedule
dependent upon the frequency and nature of the activity. This should be determined by a local
risk assessment carried out by a suitably qualified individual.
