FOUR AXIS KNEE JOINT 1M102
A)
USE
This knee joint is designed for moderately active patients whose weight added to any
load being carried does not exceed 100 kg.
B)
CONNECTIONS (Fig.1)
This knee can be assembled proximally (1) to any link piece for PROTEOR standard
knee (1K03, 1K30, 1K160,...) and distally (2) to any Ø30 mm tube for prosthesis
(1G01,...).
C)
ALIGNMENT (Fig.1)
We recommend the alignment shown opposite.
D)
EXTENSION ASSIST ADJUSTMENT (Fig.2)
Tighten or loosen screw 5 with a flat blade screwdriver to achieve the desired exten-
sion force.
E)
EXTENSION BEARING ADJUSTMENT (Fig.2)
Caution : This adjustment affects the knee geometry and therefore the alignment. Un-
doing screw 6 improves flexion safety, but makes knee flexion harder. Make that ad-
justment with a 3 mm hex wrench when the patient weight is applied to the prosthesis
in order to keep the bearing correctly in its housing.
F)
JOINT FRICTION ADJUSTMENT (Fig.2 and 2-1)
Adjust only the two screws of the right side of the knee. Any adjustment
made on the left side of the knee could damage the knee function.
a)
Unlock screw 3 with a 2 mm hex wrench.
b)
Screw in or out the main screw 4 with a 4 mm hex wrench to achieve the desi-
red adjustment
c)
Then lock screw 3 with a 2 mm hex wrench (tightening torque 2,5 N.m)
H)
RECOMMENDATIONS
To eliminate noise in the cosmetic foam cover, do not use talcum, because it could
damage the knee function and reduce the product life. Use preferably a silicone spray.
G)
MAINTENANCE
Only the extension assist (ref : 1M10270) can be replaced.
CAUTION
In maximum
flexion the socket
must necessarily
get in contact with
the tube-holder.
Any other contact
area is forbidden.
