General Conditions - Össur BALANCE KNEE OFM2 Manual Del Usuario

• If readjustment work is required secure the release lanyard (33) so that it cannot catch in grinding tools. High
potential hazard!
• Observe the alignment instructions and adjustment notes.
• Do not unscrew any screws other than those described here.
• Do not use any lubricants (e.g. talc, silicone spray, oil) otherwise the brake function cannot be guaranteed.
• Do not use compressed air for cleaning. We recommend the use of a brush.
Observe all the above points, otherwise the guarantee becomes null and void!
MAINTENANCE
The joint must be inspected and repaired if necessary at least every 6 months!
Inspect for:
• the alignment
• the screw connections
• the suitability of the patient (e.g. weight limit, degree of mobility)
• loss of lubricant
• damage to the joint and the
accessories (e.g. the dual function lever)
• the lanyard function for locking joints
• AP + ML play
• soiling of the bushes
• Extension buffer (21)
• soiling with talc
CARE
• Clean the joint with a soft cloth moistened with a little mild benzene. Do not use any more aggressive cleaning
agents because these can damage the seals and bushes.
• Do not use compressed air for cleaning! Compressed air can force dirt into the seals and bushes. This can lead
to premature damage and wear.
LIABILITY
In case of damage: Össur can only consider complaints accompanied by a copy of the delivery note or the Össur
invoice together with a detailed description of the reasons for returning the product.
A manufacturer can only be held liable for the failure of his own fittings. The manufacturer can only be held liable
beyond this when it can be proved that his fittings were causally responsible for the damage to or loss of function
of fittings from other manufacturers.
CE MARKING/COMPATIBILITY
All the modular components have been tested in compliance with EC Directive 93/42/EEC and bear the CE
marking.

GENERAL CONDITIONS

This product is for use by one patient only. If it is used for treating more than one patient, product liability
pursuant to the Medical Devices Act becomes null and void.
Össur products are guaranteed to be compatible with modular components from others, if the following points are
observed:
• The modular components are used only in compliance with their intended purpose (see relevant Instructions
for Use).
• If modular components with different max. weight limits are used, the weight limit of the weakest component
applies.
• The use of tested individual components with the CE mark does not release the prosthetist from his obligation
to check, to the best of his capabilities, the combination of fittings for their suitability, correct assembly and
safety.
• Should there be any indications that a given combination of fittings may not assure the required degree of
safety, the fittings must not be combined.
