CAUTION
Risk of falling due to improper use. Provide your patient with precise instructions on the operation
and use of the E-MAG Active. Be sure to inform your patient that, if used incorrectly, the joint cannot
release prior to toe-off or during swing phase, and cannot lock prior to heel strike.
CAUTION
Risk of injury in case of use after damage. Do not use an E-MAG knee joint system if there is visible
damage to cables or system components.
CAUTION
Risk of injury due to the use of unapproved components or spare parts. Components and spare
parts that have not been authorised by the manufacturer may break. Only use components and spare
parts approved by the manufacturer for installation and service.
CAUTION
Explosion hazard. Do not throw the battery into the fire. Never expose it to heat. Avoid direct sunlight.
Please also pass this information on to your patient.
CAUTION
Risk of injury as a result of improper storage. Storage in a humid environment can lead to oxidisation
and subsequent malfunction. Always store in a dry place.
CAUTION
Risk of injury due to excessive load on the knee joint. Note the alignment instructions and adhere
to the specified structural limits. A deviation may lead to breaks caused by excessive flexion loads.
CAUTION
Risk of injury due to system joint bars coming loose. After the trial fitting and prior to final delivery,
always bond the system joint bars to the knee joint. Make sure you allow the bond to harden 24 hours.
CAUTION
Risk of getting pinched. Ensure freedom of movement during flexion. Do not allow sockets to overlap.
The knee joint has a maximum flexion angle of 150°.
CAUTION
Risk of falling due to incorrect calibration. During auto-calibration, proceed according to the prescri-
bed steps in order to avoid accidentally triggering the joint.
CAUTION
Risk of falling due to improper use of the service buttons. You must inform the patient that the service
buttons must not be activated or manipulated.
CAUTION
Risk of injury during trial fitting. We recommend fabricating a trial orthosis in order to verify the func-
tionality and fit of the orthosis before the final orthosis is constructed. Patient suitability can also be
verified by following this process. Ensure that the patient is standing securely during this process in
order to eliminate the risk of falling. Carry out the trial fitting between parallel bars.
