2. The shaft and U-Tube malleable zone can be bent to conform to
anatomic requirements.
• The shaft malleable zone (see Figure 4) can be bent to a
maximum of 45° upwards and 45° downwards. Exceeding this may
cause the shaft to break. Visually verify the integrity of the device
after bending.
• The U-Tube malleable zone (see Figure 4) can be bent upwards
to a maximum of 45° and downwards to a maximum of 20°.
Exceeding this may cause the U-Tube to break. Visually verify the
integrity of the device after bending.
3. For the Titan™ Flex Stabilizer (T401232, T401232U), the U-Tube
malleable zone can be bent to conform to anatomic requirements
• The Titan™ Flex Stabilizer’s U-Tube malleable zone (see Figure 4)
can be opened symmetrically to a maximum of 60° in the outwards
direction. Exceeding this may cause the U-Tube to break. Visually
verify the integrity of the device after bending.
4. For the Titan™ Flex Stabilizer (T401232, T401232U), the Foot
malleable zone can be bent to conform to anatomic requirements.
• The Foot malleable zone (Titan™ Flex only, see Figure 4) can be
bent to a maximum of 20° downwards. Exceeding this may cause
the Foot to break or device occlusion. Visually verify the integrity of
the device after bending.

WARNING
• Repeated bending and/or excessive flexing of the malleable
zones will eventually cause the device to break. Slowly bend
the malleable zones during manipulation. The integrity of the
malleable zones should be visually verified after bending.
• Take care not to occlude the vacuum lumen when bending devices.
5. Position the stabilizer attachment as required. Turn the main handle
of the Terumo Stabilizing Arm clockwise to fasten the arm. Refer to
the instructions for use of the Terumo Stabilizer Arms.
