Össur SEAL-IN X Instrucciones Para El Uso página 6

Warning
• The device should not be used by individuals with the following
conditions:
– Extremely short residual limb (refer to tables 1 and 2).
– Extreme residual limb volume fluctuations.
– Cognitive limitations hindering safe device usage.
Residual limb length is measured as follows;
• Transtibial: From mid-patella tendon to distal end.
• Transfemoral: From perineum to distal end, with the tissue hanging
down.
Minimum residual limb length is defined as follows;

Precautions
• In cases of functional change or loss, the user should immediately
cease using the device, and contact their practitioner. This may be the
result of device damage or changes in the residual limb.
• The device should be used in combination with a suitable Iceross
Seal-In X Liner.
SIZING
Precaution: Selecting the correct device size is essential. Selecting a size
which is too small/tight may result in excessive pressure on the residual
limb, which can affect residual limb health. It may also result in over-
stretching and permanent deformation of the device, affecting device
performance.
One of the following methods may be used to determine correct device
size:
Method 1 – Seal Ring Kits
The preferred method of determining correct device size is by using an
Iceross Seal-In X Kit (please refer to catalog for further details).
1. Place a device from the Iceross Seal-In X Kit at appropriate location on
top of liner, considering the recommended distance between lowest
socket edge and uppermost seal lip (Figure 1).
2. Assess for any deformation of the device and residual limb. The
device should sit securely in place without excessive compression
(Figure 2).
3. If the device does not fit at the appropriate location, select another
size or relocate if appropriate, to obtain proper tension.
