5.2 Installing the Adapter Plate

The adapter plate for connecting the vacuum pump is installed between the prosthetic socket and
the distal components of the modular prosthesis. It is mounted together with the socket adapter.
The adapter plate has two connectors for generating a vacuum in the socket and one connector
for connecting to the vacuum pump. The adapter plate is additionally equipped with a PE sinter
filter to protect the vacuum pump against dirt, and a non-return valve that maintains the vacuum
when the pump is disconnected.
CAUTION
Using a wrong prosthetic socket
Contusions and pressure sores due to wrong socket fit
Use the vacuum pump only in combination with a prosthetic socket made with Harmony
►
technology.

5.2.1 Preparing the Adapter Plate

A vacuum can be generated in the socket either via the proximal or the lateral connector of the
adapter plate.
INFORMATION
Using the proximal connector of the adapter plate is recommended only when using a 5R2 lam­
ination disc or the 4A94=3 TEC plate (with TPU insert respectively). The lateral connector for
the intake hose can be recognised by the internal thread for the hose connector.

Using the proximally located connector

INFORMATION
To ensure an optimum sealed connection to the socket, the following approach is recommen­
ded:
Drill the distal socket bore with a 6 mm bit.
►
Apply PU adhesive inside the bore and insert the included hose piece (see fig. 12).
►
Remove excess adhesive and allow the adhesive to set.
►
Trim the hose piece flush on both ends.
