1.9. Contra indications
The brace is only intended for use in contact
with intact skin.
1.10. Safety Instructions
The optimal effect of the brace is only
achieved when used correctly.
•
The brace must only be used in the intact,
complete and mechanically undamaged
condition and with complete and intact
cushioning and walers. This must be verified
by the user before each usage.
•
Opening or removing one or more belts,
as well as excessive loosening of the waler
when using the brace leads to a reduction of
the therapeutic effect of the brace and may
lead to injury.
•
The brace must not be worn over open
wounds.
•
The skin should be free of oils, grease, gels
or other debris, to prevent reactions with the
skin or the structure of the material.
•
The orthosis should fit firmly but not
too tight, so as not to restrict the blood
circulation and adversely affect nerve and
lymph vessels. Excessive compression is
therefore to be avoided.
•
Combination with other products is currently
not provided for or is to be agreed with the
manufacturer in writing.
•
The brace is not intended for single use,
but is intended for multiple use by a single
person.
•
The product as delivered is not sterile.
•
Contact your physician immediately in the
event of an allergic reaction.
•
Please note that cushioned sections can heat
up under direct sunlight. Protect the orthosis
from direct sunlight if necessary.
•
Currently there is no test for flammability.
Exercise caution when using the orthosis
in the direct vicinity of open flames such as
lighters and cigarettes.
1.11. Warranty
We assume the warranty for the brace for a
period of 3 months. The brace is a medical
rehabilitation device and must not be used
for any purpose other than the intended, as
described in the Instructions for Use. Changes
to the brace or other applications require the
written consent of the albrecht GmbH. If this
is not obtained, the manufacturer may not
honor the guarantee. If you are using single
joints or other components, these should be
used as intended. If changes or modifications
(e.g. additional mounting holes) are made
to the individual parts or components, the
manufacturer‘s warranty no longer applies.
The removal of or damage to the QM seal will
also void the warranty.
1.12. Transfer of the brace
The brace is not intended for single use, but
rather is intended for multiple use by a single
person. We do not recommend transfer to
other users. Should this be desired however,
please ensure to pass on the care and cleaning
instructions and have the brace checked by an
authorized specialist dealer for safe and proper
operation.
