CAUTION
Risk of injury due to joint bars breaking
A broken joint bar can result in injury to the patient. Carefully sand down and smooth fissures and ridges on the
lamination bars before laminating the orthosis.
NOTICE
Risk of damage due to improper installation
When setting up the orthosis, ensure that the bending radius is not less than 15 mm to avoid the risk of breaking.
Grind away surface imperfections such as grooves and burrs caused during shaping. The joint bars must not be
subjected to heat treatment.
INFORMATION
The sole function of the casing is to protect and secure the battery, electronics and cable connections. The cas­
ing only has to be large enough to enclose these components.
Remove all lamination dummies except for the E-MAG knee joint dummy and set up the lamination bars. The drilled
holes in the insertion area of the knee joint are used to temporarily fasten the lamination bars with a screw during
the alignment of the orthosis until the fitting.
