These Instructions for Use are intended for use by the practitioner and user unless otherwise
stated.
The term
device
is used throughout these instructions for use to refer to SmartIP.
Please read and ensure you understand all instructions for use, in particular all safety information
and maintenance instructions.
Application
This device is to be used exclusively as part of a lower limb prosthesis.
Intended for a single user.
The device is a programmable microprocessor controlled knee with adjustable terminal impact,
extension damping and weight activated stance control.
Features
• Smart Programming for flexion control
• Manually adjustable terminal impact and extension control
• Comfortable gait from very slow to fast walking speeds
• Smooth speed progression because of enhanced program
• Weight activated stance control
• Stanceflex option improves comfort
• Battery life expectancy 9-12 months under normal usage
• 140° knee flexion
• 4-Bolt option reduces build height
Activity Level
This device is recommended for users that have the potential to achieve Activity Level 2 or 3.
Some Activity Level 4 users may also benefit from using the device (weight limits apply to all
activity levels, see
).
Of course there are exceptions and in our recommendation we want to allow for unique,
individual circumstances and any such decision should be made with sound and thorough
justification.
Activity Level 2
Has the ability or potential for ambulation with the ability to traverse low-level environmental barries
such as curbs, stairs, or uneven surfaces. Typical of the limited community ambulator.
Activity Level 3
Has the ability or potential for ambulation with variable cadence.
Typical of the community ambulator who has the ability to traverse most environmental barriers and
may have vocational, therapeutic, or exercise activity that demands prosthetic utilization beyond
simple locomotion.
Activity Level 4
Has the ability or potential for prosthetic ambulation that exceeds basic ambulation skills, exhibiting
high impact, stress, or energy levels. Typical of the prosthetic demands of the child, active adult, or
athlete.
