Installing The Tube Adapter; Bench Alignment In Alignment Apparatus - Otto Bock Kenevo 3C60 Instructions For Use Manual

Preparation for use
1) Determine the required length of the tube adapter using the configuration assistant in the adjustment software.
2) Shorten the tube adapter to the determined value with the 719R3 tube cutter.
3) Store the tube adapter cable in the tube adapter. If this is not possible, the cable must be protected against
damage.
4) Use a file (cut 2 (medium), e.g. 715H1=2 recommended) to file the cut edge smooth. Be careful of the tube
adapter cable.
NOTICE! When filing or deburring, make sure that no metal shavings can get into the plug of the tube
adapter cable.
5) Chamfer the outside with a file.
6) Smooth the inside and outside of the cut edge with sandpaper (recommended grit 120).

7.1.2 Installing the Tube Adapter

CAUTION
Improper assembly of the screw connections
Falling due to breakage or loosening of the screw connections.
► Clean the threads before every installation.
► Apply the specified tightening torque values for installation (see the section "Technical data" see Page 34).
► Observe the instructions for securing the screw connections and the use of the correct length.
1) Install the prosthetic foot on the tube adapter and tighten the set screws on the tube adapterto a torque of
15 Nm.
INFORMATION: Replace any set screws that are protruding or recessed too much with suitable ones.
For approved set screws, see the section "Technical data" (see Page 34).
INFORMATION: The printed scale on the tube adapter must face forward.
2) Connect the cable of the tube adapter to the cable of the knee joint.
3) Push the protruding cable loop back into the tube adapter. If the tube adapter has been shortened to the min­
imum length, the plug must be inserted in the cavity. The cable loop must then be stored carefully.
4) Insert the tube adapter about 60 mm into the knee joint (for the exact value, consult the configuration assistant
in the adjustment software).
INFORMATION: Corrections in the insertion depth between 40 mm and 73 mm are permissible (slide
in 13 mm and pull out 20 mm).
5) Turn the foot outwards slightly and slightly tighten the distal tube clamp screw(approx. 4 Nm).
INFORMATION: After alignment optimisation, this screw must be tightened to a torque of 7 Nm.
INFORMATION
A calibration procedure must be performed after each change to the tube adapter, prosthetic foot or knee joint
using the adjustment software.
INFORMATION
If the tube adapter is disconnected while the knee joint is operational, an error message is output. To prevent this
error message, the knee joint must be switched off before the tube adapter is disconnected (see Page 30).

7.1.3 Bench alignment in alignment apparatus

INFORMATION
The alignment recommendations must be observed in order for the prosthesis to function correctly.
INFORMATION
The patient's gait pattern shall change as he/she becomes accustomed to the prosthesis.
Therefore it is recommended to complete the entire adjustment procedure again about two weeks after the initial
fitting.
A correct bench alignment (e.g. using the 743A200 PROS.A. Assembly alignment apparatus) ensures that the user
can benefit from all the advantages of the product. If the L.A.S.A.R. Assembly alignment apparatus (743L200) is
available, it can be used as well. The position of the residual limb must be taken into account when positioning the
socket connector. Plumb lines in the frontal and sagittal planes (drawn from the hip joint's centre of rotation and
marked during plaster cast taking and trial fitting of the check socket) will facilitate correct positioning of the lamin­
ation anchor or socket adapter.
