The 17B203=L-S, 17B203=R-S service set is available for repairs.
The service set is subject to a rental fee outside the warranty period. When sending the E-MAG Active in for ser­
vice, please be sure to include all of the following components: orthotic knee joint, electronics, battery, battery
charger, case with serial number.
7.2.1 System does not start
If the system does not start, remove the battery and reinsert it. Should the system still fail to start, there is a defect
in the electronics. Check the cable system and contacts. Reinsert the battery. If the system still does not start,
replace the electronics.
7.2.2 Lock does not close
If the lock of the E-MAG Active does not engage, check the following in sequence:
1) Alignment of the orthosis, and if the orthosis wearer reaches the required extension
2) The axial washer and the bushing with collar for wear and tear or dust particles inside the joint. If both checks
do not resolve the failure, replace the orthotic knee joint.
