English

 

 

Never  use  the  foot  module  without  a  foot  shell.    Failure  to  comply  may  cause 
premature wear, loss of function, and/or product failure. 

 

Always  use  the  foot  module  with  a  sock  and  with  a  shoe  when  outdoors.  Failure  to 
comply may cause premature wear, loss of function, and/or product failure.  

 

Never  allow  aggregates  such  as  sand  to  remain  in  the  foot  shell.

 

Upon  exposure  to 

aggregates,  immediately  disassemble foot module and rinse  with water. The abrasive 
properties of aggregates will quickly wear the graphite components of the foot module.  

 

Freedom Innovations foot modules are manufactured to fit industry standard pyramids 

and  receivers.    It  is  the  prosthetist’s  responsibility  to  select  and/or  fabricate  properly 

fitting attachment components.  

 

Never attempt to loosen the bolt affixing the pyramid connector. 

 

Discontinue use and consult your prosthetist if any part of the prosthesis starts to make 
noise, or the foot loses its responsiveness. 

 

Inform your prosthetist if you lose or gain a significant amount of weight. 

 

Avoid use in water, as prolonged exposure to moisture may have a negative impact on 
the life of the product.  After use in water, completely dry the product. 

 

Freedom Innovations foot products are manufactured and tested for a particular weight 
and  activity  impact  level.  Use  by  another  user  for  whom  it  was  not  originally 
manufactured may cause injury and shall void any written or implied warranty.
