7) Once buckled, stand up to test out the
tightness. If too tight or too loose, return
to a seated position, and move the buckle
either one notch forward or one back for
adjustment.
If the socket causes pain when
buckled contact your healthcare provider.
STEP C: TAKING OFF THE DEVICE
1)
Begin in a seated position. Press
the safety latch on the buckle rearward in
order to lift the buckles and unbuckle
the cables.
2) Next, press the clutch release button
located on the front of the device to disen-
gage the pin. The limb should easily slide
out of the prosthesis.
STEP D: CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
1) Follow the manufacturer's directions
for cleaning the silicone locking liner.
Make sure to clean the silicone part which
contacts the skin every day with soap and
water to prevent infection.

2) The padded inner liner may be taken
out and washed on a gentle cycle then
air dried. It is very important you do not
put the liner in the drier as high heats may
cause damage.
3) When replacing the liner back into the
prosthesis, make sure it is properly aligned
with the prosthesis.
If the liner starts to show any signs of wear,
a replacement should be ordered.
4) Check your cables periodically to make
sure they are not fraying.
If any issues arise, make sure to contact your prosthetist.
Most issues may be resolved by adding padding in an area or making
an alignment adjustment.
We hope you enjoy your new iFIT Prosthesis!
