Intended Use The Aeris Performance 2 (AP2) prosthetic foot is intended for use in lower extremity prostheses. The foot uses three carbon composite elements (Figure 1) that conform to terrain while storing and releasing energy during gait. The two upper carbon springs in the AP2 combine to provide a high rate of energy return while the separation between those springs reduces stiffness in all three planes.
CAUTION: Fillauer has tested (ISO 10328) and recommends the use of standard, adult, endoskeletal components from Fillauer with all Fillauer feet. Components from other manufacturers may or may not be compatible. Failure due to use of other manufacturers’ products is not covered under warranty.
Figure 2 Static and Bench Alignment Standard bench alignment techniques may be used for the Aeris Performance 2 foot (Figure 2). Before aligning, the initial heel height should be established. The Aeris Performance 2 is designed for a ⅜ inch or 1 cm heel height. The initial heel height can be established with a simple spacer under the heel.

Dynamic Alignment The Aeris Performance 2 foot is flexible and conforms to uneven terrain. This characteristic may mask forefoot loading anomalies during static alignment that may then become more noticeable during dynamic alignment. Small alignment changes will smooth the transition from heel to toe and optimize gait.
120 grit sandpaper to provide a good bonding surface. The bumper is then adhered to the carbon using cyanoacrylate instant adhesive (commonly referred to as “super glue”). Contact Fillauer for the proper bumper for the foot size. Consumable Components:...
. Compatibility Fillauer feet are appropriate for use with Fillauer or equal, ISO 10328 compliant, endoskeletal components. A Fillauer foot shell should be used with this device, the fit of other manufacturers’ shells cannot be guaranteed. Disposal / Waste Handling The product must be disposed of in accordance with applicable local laws and regulations.
. CAUTION: The foot shell is designed to provide realistic appearance and maximum performance of the Aeris Performance 2. 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 .
