course there are exceptions and in our recommendation we want to allow for unique, individual
circumstances and any such decision should be made with sound and thorough justification.
Contra-indications
This device may not be suitable for Activity Level 1 individuals or for competitive sports events,
as these types of users will be better served by a specially designed prosthesis optimized for their
needs.
Intended for a single user.
Ensure that the user has understood all instructions for use, drawing particular attention to the
section regarding maintenance.
