Preparation For Use - Otto Bock 1B1-2 Meridium Instructions For Use Manual

7 Preparation for use

7.1 Applying/removing footshell
For applying/removing the footshell, please consult the instructions for use included with the footshell.
CAUTION
Incorrect assembly/disassembly and improper use of footshell
> Falling due to unexpected product behaviour as the result of malfunction.
> Falling due to breakage of load-bearing components.
► Use the prosthetic foot only in combination with the footshell.
► Remove the footshell from the prosthetic foot only when necessary.
► Only use the 2C101 changing device and the 704G30 clamping device for mounting/removing.
► Replace worn footshells. Do not use the prosthetic foot when the footshell is damaged.
INFORMATION
Before mounting the component on the tube adapter, make a note of the serial number of the component. It is
found next to the pyramid on the spherical cap.
The serial number is required to connect to the adjustment software and the Cockpit app, and must be entered in
the prosthesis passport.
7.2 Alignment
7.2.1 Bench alignment in alignment apparatus
With correct bench alignment, e.g. in the PROS.A. assembly alignment apparatus (743A200), the benefits of the
product are realised to best advantage. If the L.A.S.A.R. assembly alignment apparatus (743L200) is available, it
can be used as well.
Alignment can also be carried out using LaserLine/plumb line.
The following points must be observed during alignment:
• The alignment recommendations provided must be observed in order for the prosthetic foot to function cor­
rectly.
Static alignment in the alignment apparatus must always be carried out without shoes, otherwise a correct
•
adjustment will not be possible.
• A marking is located on the exterior distal side of the footshell. The marking serves as orientation for the align­
ment point on the foot.
• Before beginning the alignment, the prosthetic foot must be put into alignment mode using the adjustment soft­
ware ("Alignment" tab, "Alignment Recommendation" tab). Only in alignment mode will the prosthetic foot be
locked in neutral position and allow static alignment to be carried out correctly.

Bench alignment for transtibial (TT) modular lower limb prostheses
The adjustment software must be used to provide information for alignment of TT modular lower limb prostheses
(also see TT modular lower limb prostheses: 646F336).
Bench alignment for transfemoral (TF) modular lower limb prostheses
The alignment recommendations for the appropriate Ottobock knee joint must be observed for TF modular lower
limb prostheses (also see TF modular prostheses: 646F219).
7.2.2 Static alignment optimisation
• Use the L.A.S.A.R. Posture for static alignment optimisation of the prosthesis, if available.
