WARNING:

The SPARK may cause an individual to exceed their ankle joint range

of motion, potentially leading to a tendon strain, muscle tear, or avulsion. This risk
is reduced by mechanical stops on the SPARK that prevent the device from
exceeding the normal ankle joint range of motion in the event of an electrical or
software malfunction. Software systems are also in place to further reduce range
of motion to improve fit and comfort during walking. The SPARK should only be
used on individuals who have sufficient ankle joint range of motion (see
Contraindications).

WARNING:

Use of the SPARK may cause muscle spasms in participants with

hypertonicity or tight/stiff muscles. Such individuals should not use the SPARK
(see Contraindications).

WARNING:

Use of the SPARK could result in bone fractures in individuals with

severe osteoporosis. Individuals with this condition should not use the SPARK.

Caution

: Do not use the SPARK on children under 12 years or in adults over 21

years. It has not been tested in these populations.

Caution

: Do not use the SPARK for running or other sport activities.

Caution

: Ensure the battery is inserted firmly into the waist pack so that no silver

label (other than the pull tab) is showing.

Caution

: Do not discharge the battery completely (<15%).

Caution

: Make sure the upright & calf cuff are behind the shank and not off to the

side when fitting the device.

Caution:

Ensure the purple cables are not twisted when fitting the device.

Twisted cables can negatively affect device performance.
