Equipment Setup and Use:

3.1 Prior to use:

a. Inspect the product looking for any visible damage or sharp edges that could
be caused by a drop or impact during storage.
b. Make sure product has been properly cleaned and disinfected and wiped dry
prior to each use.

3.2 Setup:

a. Place patient on table in a comfortable position.
b. Mount the Knee Crutch into an adjustable clamp located adjacent to the
patient's hip joint.
c. Place Knee Crutch into the desired amount of abduction, then lock clamps
securely.
d. Once the Knee Crutches are located to the desired position of the patient's
calves and height is set approximately, tighten Lock Handle on the Knee
Crutch.
e. Ensure that the Knee Crutch pads are in place and arranged properly. The
Knee Crutch straps should be out of the way.
f. If the patient is anesthetized, obtain adequate help to place both legs into
the Knee Crutches simultaneously; this significantly reduces risk of patient
injury.
g. Adjust the Knee Crutch position by placing a supporting hand near the mount
underneath the Knee Crutch. Loosen the Knee Crutch Lock Handle, and rail
clamp. Adjust crutch height, rotation, lithotomy angle, and
abduction/adduction. Align the knee, hip and opposing shoulder. Retighten
the Knee Crutch Lock Handle, and rail clamp.
h. Ensure that all clamps are securely locked.
i. Secure the Knee Crutch straps. Avoid tightening these straps against the leg.
You should be able to slip your finger between the leg and strap at the
tightest point. If it is necessary to restrain the leg more securely, adequate
padding should be applied between the straps and the leg.
j. Check to ensure that no undue pressure is being applied to the leg. Do not
permit anyone or anything to lean on the patient's leg at any time.
