Precaution: Make sure the Flex-Foot sock does not interfere with the
device as it could compromise the function of the pump.
THE TUBE
The tube is the most sensitive part of the device, and special attention
should be paid to it for potential functional issues that might arise.
Precaution: Ensure that device tubing is not compressed or folded by the
application of cosmetic finishing.
Ensure the tube is NOT:
• Folded (Figure 3).
• Pressed up against sharp objects.
• Punctured.
• Dangling during gait.
• Located laterally, as there is more likelihood of damage.
