Intended Use The Aeris Activity posterior-mounted, prosthetic foot is intended for use in lower extremity prostheses. The foot uses a long carbon pylon to maximize energy storage and release during gait. The first high-energy-return, multiaxial foot for amputees with Syme or Boyd amputations, the Aeris Activity accommodates the minimum clearance required for long transtibial amputations without compromising the function.
. CAUTION: For patient safety and device compatibility, only the appropriate Fillauer Posterior Mounting Bracket should be used with any Fillauer Posterior Mounted Foot . CAUTION: Abnormal or improper environmental conditions will lead to malfunctioning and damage of the prosthesis and is not covered under the warranty of the device.
Permanent attachment of the foot may be achieved via direct lamination or use of the Posterior Mounting Bracket. See Posterior Mounting Bracket instructions for more information or request assistance from Fillauer for further instruction in this process . Static Alignment—Sagittal Plane Before aligning, the initial heel height should be established.

Installation of the Foot The Aeris Activity can be directly mounted to the socket or attached using the Posterior Mounting Bracket, PN 180-10-2000. If using the Posterior Mounting Bracket, follow the instructions included with it. To mount the foot directly to the socket: Determine the approximate location of the foot on the socket.
Sock ® The Aeris Activity uses a unique cosmetic foot shell that is flexible and durable (sold separately). Use care in the installation and removal of the foot shell to maintain its appearance and durability. Always use the shell with an internal Spectra sock (included).
Compatibility Fillauer’s adult posterior mounting feet are appropriate for use with the adult sized, Fillauer Posterior Mounting Bracket. A Fillauer spectra sock and foot shell (not included) should be used with this device, the fit of other manufacturers shells cannot be guaranteed .
. CAUTION: The foot shell is designed to provide a realistic appearance and maximum performance of the Aeris Activity. The life of the foot shell will depend on level of activity and degree to which it is protected from wear and damage with socks and shoes.
Serious Incidents In the unlikely event of a failure resulting in a fall and/or injury, seek immediate medical help and contact your prosthetist at the earliest possible convenience .
