4 General safety instructions
CAUTION
Reaching into the area of the joint mechanism
Pinching of limbs (e.g. fingers) and the skin due to uncontrolled
joint movement
►
Do not reach into the joint mechanism during daily use.
► Close attention is required during assembly and adjustment
tasks.
CAUTION
Mechanical damage to the product
Risk of injury due to change in or loss of functionality
► Use caution when working with the product.
►
If the product is damaged, check it for proper function and readi­
ness for use.
►
In case of changes in or loss of functionality, do not continue
using the product (see "Signs of changes in or loss of functional­
ity during use" in this section).
►
Take any necessary measures (e.g. repair, replacement, inspec­
tion by the manufacturer's customer service, etc.).
Signs of changes in or loss of functionality during use
Changes in functionality can manifest themselves, for example,
through a changed gait (swing phase, stance phase), incomplete
extension, stiffness and the development of noise.

7 Preparing the product for use
7.1 Information on fabrication of a prosthesis
CAUTION
Incorrect alignment, assembly or adjustment
Injury due to incorrectly installed or adjusted as well as damaged
prosthetic components
►
Observe the alignment, assembly and adjustment instructions.
CAUTION
Initial use of the prosthesis by the patient
Fall due to lack of patient experience, incorrect alignment or incor­
rect adjustment of the prosthesis
► For the safety of the patient, use a suitable device (e.g. parallel
bars, handrail, wheeled walker) during initial standing and walk­
ing.
7.2 Bench alignment of the prosthesis
INFORMATION
The prosthetic components and prosthesis shown in the illustrations
are used as examples to illustrate the general process. The instruc­
tions for use of the prosthetic components selected for the patient
contain detailed information and have to be used for fabrication of
the prosthesis.
►
CAUTION! To enable the patient to stand safely, align the pros­
thesis using the alignment images for the sagittal plane
(Figure
3
on page 3) and for the frontal plane (Figure
4
on
page 3) as well as the instructions for use of all prosthetic com­
ponents that were used.
►
Additionally, observe the following points for the bench alignment
of the prosthesis:
