User Instructions

1.10. Safety Instructions

The optimal effect of the brace is only 
achieved when used correctly.

• 

The brace must only be used in the intact, 
complete and mechanically undamaged 
condition and with complete and intact 
cushioning and walers. This must be verified 
by the user before each usage.

• 

Opening or removing one or more belts, 
as well as excessive loosening of the waler 
when using the brace leads to a reduction of 
the therapeutic effect of the brace and may 
lead to injury.

• 

The brace must not be worn over open 
wounds.

• 

The skin should be free of oils, grease, gels 
or other debris, to prevent reactions with the 
skin or the structure of the material.

• 

The orthosis should fit firmly but not 
too tight, so as not to restrict the blood 
circulation and adversely affect nerve and 
lymph vessels. Excessive compression is 
therefore to be avoided.

• 

Combination with other products is currently 
not provided for or is to be agreed with the 
manufacturer in writing.

• 

The brace is not intended for single use, 
but is intended for multiple use by a single 
person.

• 

The product as delivered is not sterile.

• 

Contact your physician immediately in the 
event of an allergic reaction.

• 

Please note that cushioned sections can heat 
up under direct sunlight. Protect the orthosis 
from direct sunlight if necessary.

• 

Currently there is no test for flammability. 
Exercise caution when using the orthosis 
in the direct vicinity of open flames such as 
lighters and cigarettes.

• 

The mechanical functions must only be 
adjusted using the supplied tools in order to 
avoid injuries and damage of the hinge.
