• 

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.

1.11. Warranty

We assume the warranty for the brace for a 
period of 3 months. The brace is a medical 
rehabilitation device and must not be used 
for any purpose other than the intended, as 
described in the Instructions for Use. Changes 
to the brace or other applications require the 
written consent of the albrecht GmbH. If this 
is not obtained, the manufacturer may not 
honor the guarantee. If you are using single 

joints or other components, these should be 
used as intended. If changes or modifications 
(e.g. additional mounting holes) are made 
to the individual parts or components, the 
manufacturer‘s warranty no longer applies. 
The removal of or damage to the QM seal will 
also void the warranty.

1.12. Transfer of the brace

The brace is not intended for single use, but 
rather is intended for multiple use by a single 
person. We do not recommend transfer to 
other users. Should this be desired however, 
please ensure to pass on the care and cleaning 
instructions and have the brace checked by an 
authorized specialist dealer for safe and proper 
operation.

1.13. Disposal

The brace contains recyclable materials 
without toxic or other harmful substances or 
other environmentally hazardous substances. 
Provided it is not contaminated with infectious 
germs, the brace can be deposited in the 
normal waste disposal. To be sure, consult 
your specialist orthopedics dealer.
