7.1 Alignment

The following alignment guidelines contain descriptions for connecting the knee joint to a prosthetic socket. In
principle, the alignment of the prosthesis is independent of the type of connection for the knee joint. In case of a
connection to an osseointegrated, percutaneous implant system, a socket is not used during bench alignment in
the alignment apparatus. In this case, the central proximal point on the prosthetic socket corresponds to the
trochanter of the thigh bone (see illustration in the section "Bench alignment in the alignment apparatus" see
Page 28).
Ensure that possible flexion or adduction of the transfemoral residual limb can be compensated to a permissible
extent by an adapter approved by the implant manufacturer in the course of static alignment optimisation. Safe
functioning of the knee joint is only guaranteed with biomechanically correct alignment.
INFORMATION
Disconnect tube adapter without error message
Five beep and vibration signals are output when the tube adapter is disconnected. In order to avoid this, perform
the following steps while the tube adapter is connected:
► Hold the joint upright and flex the knee head 90°.
► Wait 5 seconds. The joint switches to energy saving mode.
→ The tube adapter can be disconnected without generating a warning signal.

7.1.1 Settings with the "X-Soft" adjustment software

7.1.1.1 Introduction

The "X-Soft" adjustment software makes it possible to optimise the product settings for a patient. The adjustment
software provides step-by-step guidance through the adjustment process. After the settings are configured, the
data for them can be saved and printed for documentation. If needed, these data can be loaded and fed into the
product.
You can consult the integrated online help of the adjustment software for further information.
INFORMATION
The 4X1 X-Soft adjustment software, version 1.10 or higher, is required for correct alignment. If X-Soft is on
hand in version 1.0 or higher, it can be updated.
INFORMATION
Non-use of the adjustment software
Swing phase initiation is not possible with the setting parameters on delivery (factory settings). Therefore, the set­
tings of the product have to be checked using the adjustment software and changed as needed before the
product is used for the first time, or after it is received from an authorised Ottobock Service Centre.
