Össur UNLOADER ONE X Instrucciones De Uso página 6

Ensure proper alignment of the device on the leg (Fig. 2).
• Height positioning (2a): Align Össur logo on the Hinge with upper
edge of the patella.
• Side positioning (2b): Front edge of the Hinge cap should be at
midline of leg.
2. Fasten the Buckle buttons to their color-matched Keyholes (D, E).
• Place the blue Lower Buckle button into the blue Calf Shell Keyhole
(D) and use the palm of the hand to snap the Lower Buckle closed
(3a). Position Calf Strap (F) above widest part of gastroc, fold strap
at appropriate length into Alligator Clip (G) and fasten strap (3b) so
that it keeps device securely and correctly positioned on leg.
• Place the yellow Upper Buckle button into the yellow Thigh Shell
Keyhole (E) and use the palm of the hand to snap the Upper Buckle
closed (4a). Adjust Thigh Strap (H) to appropriate length by
tensioning around leg and folding into Alligator Clip (4b).
3. With the patient's leg extended and both SmartDosing
lowest setting (5a), adjust the length of the Dynamic Force System™
(DFS) Straps (J, K).
• Adjust the Upper DFS Strap (J) length until it sits firmly against the
leg, and then fold it into Alligator Clip (5b). At this point, patient
should not experience any tension or unloading.
• Adjust the Lower DFS Strap (K) in the same way (5c).
4. Ask patient to bend knee with the foot flat on the floor (Fig. 6). Turn
upper and lower SmartDosing Dials clockwise (7a) until indicators are
in the middle slot (7b). Have the patient stand up and take a few steps
to verify correct positioning of the device and tightness of the straps.
• Determine optimal DFS Strap tension based on patient's pain relief
feedback.
• If patient requires more or less tension with indicator at mid
setting, adjust the length of the DFS Straps accordingly.
• Aim for final SmartDosing Dial setting at middle indicator slot
since this will give patient the ability to adjust dosing during daily
life activities.
5. When final fit has been confirmed, trim the straps (Fig. 8) to the
appropriate length starting with the Calf Strap (8a) so that device sits
correctly on leg while trimming other straps (8b, 8c, 8d).
6. With patient in standing position, insert fingers into Popliteal Pad (L)
openings and move to an ideal position in popliteal area (Fig. 9).
Device Removal
1. Ask patient to sit with knee bent and foot flat on floor (Fig. 6).
