A trained healthcare professional must provide each user with training for appropriate
use of the Ankle. Carefully review all instructions for proper use of the Ankle and follow
safety precautions, as failure to do so can lead to the risk of fall, injury to the user and/
or the malfunction of the Ankle.
• Safe use of the Ankle demands proper care and maintenance. Please follow the
guidelines in the Maintenance section of the Instructions for Use.
• It is recommended that the Ankle undergo visual inspection by a trained
prosthetist at least every 6 months or every 1.5 million steps. Heavier patients
should have inspections more frequently.
• Use only the accessories provided with the Ankle for adjustment and operation of
the Ankle. Any other adjustments may limit the use of the Ankle.
• If the Ankle exhibits unusual behavior, immediately turn OFF the power using the
Power Switch.
• If unusual behavior of the Ankle continues after the Power Switch is turned OFF,
immediately remove the Battery from the Battery Holster. DO NOT USE the Ankle
after such an event and contact Customer Service for considerations.
• For maximum safety, it is recommended to use a handrail when negotiating ramps
or stairs.
• Improper handling or adjustment of the Ankle may cause knee instability which
can increase the risk of falls.
• The Ankle is for walking and everyday use. Do not use for sports or high impact
activities. Excessive load/forces (i.e. repetitive jumping from heights or ladders and
landing on the toe) may cause mechanical failure, risk of fall or injury, and will void
the warranty.
• During motor vechile operation, the Ankle should be powered OFF and the foot
should be dorsiflexed to avoid unintentional motion.
• The Ankle is water resistant but not waterproof. Limit water exposure to light
rain or small puddles. Keep the Ankle dry and protected from water whenever
possible. Do not allow water or other liquids to enter the Battery Holster at the top
of the Ankle. Water and moisture may cause malfunction and risk of falls.
• Do not use any power source other than the Battery provided with the Ankle as
this results in a risk of malfunction.
• Do not reach into the Ankle joint in the front or back, as this results in a risk
of pinching.
• Follow local ordinances or regulations for proper disposal of the device,
accessories or packaging.
• The Ankle should only be used in the environmental conditions specified in the
Ankle specifications. Other conditions result in a risk of malfunction.
