User Instructions
The providing health care professional must review the following information directly
with the user.
Care and Maintenance
WARNING: If the foot performance changes or it begins to make noise, the
patient should immediately contact his or her practitioner .
These things
may be as sign of a failure of the foot or other part of the prosthesis
that could result in a fall or other serious injury.
CAUTION: 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 .
CAUTION: The foot should be inspected by the clinician every six months
for signs of abnormal wear and to assure that the attachment/alignment
screws are secure.
CAUTION: The foot is waterproof to 1 meter. However, if the foot is
submerged, the foot and foot shell should be rinsed with fresh water and
dried immediately to remove salt, chlorine, or debris .
CAUTION: The foot shell is designed to provide realistic appearance and
maximum performance of the Aeris Performance 2. The life of the foot
shell will depend on level of activity and degree to which it is protected
from wear and damage with socks and shoes. Socks and shoes should
be worn at all times and should be allowed to dry fully after exposure to
water to prevent damage to the shell.
CAUTION: Patients should inspect the shell daily for signs of cracks or
holes and for the presence of sand or other debris. If the foot shell shows
signs of failure, it should be replaced as soon as possible to prevent
damage to the carbon fiber and soling materials. If debris is present, the
foot and shell should be rinsed and allowed to fully dry.
CAUTION: The foot shell may also be cleaned with a soft cloth and a soap
and water solution or with rubbing alcohol (70%). Do not use acetone. It
will damage the foot shell.
