5 Maintenance, Cleaning and Care

With the E-MAG Active you have acquired a modern electronic device. In order to benefit from
this sophisticated technology for as long as possible, please observe the following instructions.

5.1 Maintenance

Have your E-MAG Active checked for any wear as well as for proper function of the electronic
components by your orthotist every six months.

5.2 Care

1. Keep your orthosis away from environments with high humidity. Use a slightly moistened cloth
to clean the orthosis, E-MAG Active or any of the components from outside.
2. Since the E-MAG Active is a closed locking system, clothing fibers cannot get into the mecha-
nism. However, please observe the maintenance intervals of six months, because particulate
matter can settle in the electronics and mechanism and can disturb the E-MAG Active.
