Purpose and function
The medical purpose of the InnoMake clip is to partially compensate for the mobility
impairment resulting from a visual impairment, in particular from a severe visual
impairment or blindness. In addition to an existing primary aid, such as a cane, obstacles in
the walking direction can be detected early on with the InnoMake Clip. The InnoMake Clip is
also suitable as a supplement to an existing residual sight, as long as movement without
primary aids is fundamentally possible.
However, the use of the InnoMake Clip without a primary aid and/or without existing
residual vision is only permitted in a familiar environment (e.g., home environment, suitable
workplace) if the user feels safe enough even if the InnoMake Clip fails to continue on my
way unharmed.
With the InnoMake Clip, obstacle detection is carried out using ultrasonic technology. The
distance to objects between 0.3 meters and optionally 1.0 meters, 2.0 meters or 4.0 meters
in walking direction is calculated and given as feedback. The measuring range of the
InnoMake clip is individually adjustable (s.
The calculation of the distance to objects in the walking direction is based on the reflection
of ultrasonic waves and the measurement of their transit time. During use, the sensors
continuously transmit and receive ultrasonic waves. The calculated distance to an object in
walking direction is given by vibration. The frequency of the vibratory feedback varies
proportionally to the measured object distance, i.e.
the closer an object is, the faster the vibratory feedback becomes
the farther you get away from an object, the slower the vibratory feedback becomes.
If the InnoMake Clip does not detect an obstacle within the set measuring range, no
vibration is emitted.
The InnoMake Clip is equipped with a rechargeable battery.
In
section 4.10
are type and duration of the signalling of the InnoMake Clip
can be found at a glance.
As a complementary mobility aid, the InnoMake Clip is not intended to
replace the primary aid, such as the cane or guide dog. Furthermore,
it cannot compensate for vision in terms of restoration.
The InnoMake Clip is used exclusively to compensate for the mobility impairment resulting
from a visual impairment, in particular severe visual impairment and blindness, and is only
to be used in the manner described here.
The use of the InnoMake clip to intentionally disturb living beings that can hear ultrasonic
frequencies and/or are sensitive to light is not permitted.
