SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
• When the battery charge is low, PROPRIO FOOT
®
will return to the last preset heel height position.
A warning signal will occur (Figure B).
• When making adjustments to PROPRIO FOOT ® ensure the user is seated or in a stable standing position.
• The user should stop walking immediately if alarm signals are felt or heard. Proceed to walk with caution.
• Do not use PROPRIO FOOT ® while the battery is charging. Be sure to disconnect it from the charger prior to
putting on the prosthesis.
• When the power is off the ankle position might change resulting in misalignment.
• Improper handling or adjustment of PROPRIO FOOT
®
may cause malfunction that may subject the user to
the risk of falling.
• High-impact activity and sports, excessive loading, and heavy-duty use should be avoided.
• Avoid impact to the battery.
• Ensure that the battery cable does not interfere with the actuator motion. Interference between the battery
cable and the actuator can cause damage and interruption of function.
* Do not use power supplies other than those provided with the device.
* Ensure that the Flex-Foot sock, shoe or any external load does not interfere with the actuator motion,
since this can cause restriction of the ankle motion.
• Lithium-ion batteries contain hazardous metals and should never be disposed of in residential or commercial
garbage. They should never be incinerated because they may explode.
• Field service should be performed at the recommended intervals
(see chapter Service)
. This will prevent
malfunction or failure. Not following the instructions invalidates the warranty.
• Avoid spillage or immersion in water (or any other fluids), use in highly electrical and/or magnetic
(i.e. electrical transformers, high-power radio/TV transmitters) and dirty environments.
• Avoid exposure to extreme heat and/or cold (see chapter Technical Specifications) .
• Avoid exposure to intense dust, smoke or mechanical vibrations.
• Do not use if the product enclosure or covers are broken.
• Do not tamper with the keypad.
• Disable PROPRIO FOOT ® when driving a vehicle (see chapter Power OFF) .
• Steep inclines or declines (above 20°) may trigger the stair response resulting in unexpected foot alignment.
• PROPRIO FOOT ® detects walking on uneven or level ground, walking on inclines and declines, climbing
stairs and riding a bike. Non-identified movements may cause unexpected ankle alignments.
• Not suitable for use in the presence of flammable anesthetic mixture with air oxygen or nitrous oxide.
• Protect the foot and battery pack against water or rain, and ensure that no water enters the battery charge
plug.
• Battery performance may be affected by very low or very high temperatures that may cause inconsistency in
battery warnings.
