Risk of Falling Due to Permanent Higher Load
If patient data has changed (e.g. due to weight gain, growth, or increased activity), recalculate the load
capacity of the system joint. For this purpose, use the Orthosis Configurator or contact Technical Support.
Risk of Falling Due to Improper Shoe/Wrong Shoe Pitch
Advise the patient to wear a shoe to which the orthosis is adjusted in order to avoid joint dysfunction in
Auto mode.
Risk of Falling Due to Failure of Electronics
Carry out a cable connection test before handing over the orthosis to the patient. The cables must not be
extended, bent or processed with unsuitable tools. In case of persistent failure, contact Technical Support.
Risk of Falling Due to Improper Maintenance
Follow the instructions in this manual and gather information about joint-specific particularities before
maintenance of the system joint. To do so, attend one of our production technique workshops, refer to the
online tutorials on our website or contact Technical Support.
Risk of Falling Due to Improper Handling of the Orthosis
Make sure that the patient is able to handle their orthosis. The first step with orthosis in Auto mode
should be made with the leg with orthosis. Recommend them a physiotherapeutic gait re-education and
explain them the system joint's particularities.
Risk of Injury Due to Improper Handling of the Batteries
Use the batteries as described in this manual. When handling the batteries, avoid:
- strong heat,
- knocks and shocks as well as
- contact with high humidity and water.
Damage to the Anatomical Joint Due to Incorrect Position of the Joint's Mechanical Pivot Point
Determine the joint's mechanical pivot points correctly in order to avoid a permanent incorrect load on the
anatomical joint. Please refer to the online tutorials on our website or contact Technical Support.
