Detecting A Leak; If The Sealing Sleeve Is Punctured - OHIO WILLOW WOOD LimbLogic VS Series Prosthetist's Manual

Overview

Detecting a Leak

If the leak indicator appears when the patient initially dons the
prosthesis, the patient should restart the pump.
If the leak indicator appears frequently while the patient is
walking, use the Diagnostic Kit (LLV-1300) to determine the
source of the leak.
To resume automatic vacuum regulation after a leak has been detected:
• Press the center button on the fob until the hourglass symbol appears,
or
• Press the on/off button on the Vacuum Pump one time.

If the Sealing Sleeve is Punctured

The latex sleeves (LLS-3N, LLS-4N, or LLS-5N) in the
Diagnostic Kit are to be used ONLY as a diagnostic tool for
locating the source of a leak. If a leak is fixed by replacing a
sealing sleeve with a latex sleeve, then the patient should receive
a new sealing sleeve immediately. The patient should NOT be
sent home with a latex sleeve, because the mineral oil in the
Alpha gel causes the latex to lose its elasticity.
