FIOR & GENTZ NEURO TRONIC Instructions For Use Manual page 5

Risk of Falling Due to Improper Processing
Process the system joint according to the information in these instructions for use. Deviating processing
and modifications of the system joint require the written consent of the manufacturer.
Risk of Falling Due to Improper Processing
Always mount the system knee joint to an orthosis with a system ankle joint in order to avoid joint dys-
function. This also applies in case of anatomical stiffening in the ankle joint.
Risk of Falling Due to Improper Handling
Inform the patient about the correct use of the system joint and the integrated electronics, especially
with regard to excessive mechanical load (e.g. due to sports, increased activity level or weight gain), and
about not immersing the system joint in water. The electronic system components are only protected from
splashing water on all sides.
Risk of Falling Due to Loosened Screws
Mount the cover plate to the system joint according to the assembly instructions in these instructions for
use. Secure the screws with the specified torque and the corresponding adhesive and make sure that no
sliding washers are damaged in the process.
Risk of Falling Due to Improper Greasing of the System Joint
Only use the orthosis joint grease from the FIOR & GENTZ product range to grease the system joint. Grease
the axle bore of the toothed ring and the sliding surfaces of the bearing nut of the joint axis with just one
drop of orthosis joint grease.
Risk of Falling Due to Incorrectly Selected System Components
Make sure that the system joint and the system components are not overloaded and are functionally
adapted to the requirements and needs of the patient in order to avoid joint dysfunction.
Risk of Falling Due to Improper Shoe/Wrong Shoe Pitch
Advise the patient to wear a shoe to which the orthosis is adjusted in order to avoid joint dysfunction in
Auto mode.
Risk of Falling Due to Improper Handling of the Orthosis
Make sure that the patient is able to handle their orthosis. Recommend a physiotherapeutic gait
re-education, if necessary, and explain to them the system joint's particularities.
