NOTICE: Attachment, alignment, and delivery of the foot must be 
performed by or under the direct supervision of a qualified prosthetist. 
Any adjustment or modifications should be done by the clinician and not 
by the user .

 

NOTICE: If any serious incidents occur in relation to the usage of the 
device, contact your Fillauer Representative and the appropriate authority 
in your country .

Alignment (Specifications & 
Preparations Before Use)

Proximal Attachment

Attachment of the foot may be achieved via the proximal pyramid to any ISO 10328 
compliant, Fillauer or equal, standard adult pyramid receiver. Torque all set screws 
to the setting specified by the manufacturer of the pyramid receiver. For Fillauer 
components, this is 15 N·m. Proper thread locker must be used for final delivery per 
the component manufacturer’s specifications. 

Figure 2

Static and Bench Alignment 

Standard bench alignment techniques may be used for the Aeris Performance 2 foot 
(Figure 2). Before aligning, the initial heel height should be established. The Aeris 
Performance 2 is designed for a ⅜ inch or 1 cm heel height. The initial heel height can 
be established with a simple spacer under the heel. The top of the pyramid should be 
parallel with the work surface before proceeding with alignment. A backward leaning 
pylon indicates that the heel height is too low and will make late-stance rollover 
difficult.
