Keys To Successful Use - OHIO WILLOW WOOD LimbLogic VS Series Prosthetist's Manual

Keys to Successful Use

1. Fabricate a non-porous Total Surface Weight Bearing socket
using a LimbLogic VS 4-Hole Attachment Plate. This is critical to
the proper operation of the system. Be sure to follow the fabrication
instructions provided with the 4-Hole Attachment Plate.
Prior to delivering the prosthesis, you may want to use the Diagnostic
Kit (LLV-1300) to confirm that there are no leaks in the system.
2. Fully charge the Vacuum Pump. (Refer to "Charging the Vacuum
Pump Battery" on page 9.)
3. Properly secure the fully charged Vacuum Pump to the socket,
Vacuum Plate (LLV-01043), or Vacuum Pyramid (LLV-01044) with
M6 flathead screws. Tighten the screws to 9 ft-lbs (12 Nm).
4. Assemble the prosthesis, inserting one end of the exhaust port tubing
into the exhaust port. Attach the other end of the tubing as desired.

5. Have the patient don an Alpha
Sleeve. For the best seal proximally, the patient should fold over the
top edge of the liner and roll the sleeve up onto the folded edge
to create a gel-to-gel seal, as shown in the figures on pages 6 and 7.
