Streifeneder ortho.production KINEGEN.comfort 3A1010 Instrucciones De Uso página 10

If the residual limb flexion is not considered, the load line is behind the knee pivot axis.
This can lead to malfunctions or reduced stability and significantly increases wear and
tear in the brake.
Limitation of flexion
„
The product allows for a knee flexion of 145°. However, this flexion angle can only be achieved
with a correctly fabricated socket/prosthesis alignment. Clamps of lamination anchors must be
located medially or laterally on the socket according to the instructions for use. If the clamp is
placed posterior the flexion angle of the knee joint may not be fully used or the product may
be damaged.
With a correct prosthetic alignment, it can be assumed that the user's buttock touches the
prosthetic foot before the socket comes into contact with the knee joint.
Technical Notes
„
The tightening torque for the cap screw on the tube clamp is 16 Nm with the
173P11 Torque Wrench, calibrated.
Please take special care, that this product is not exposed to corrosive chemicals and
substances such as salt- and freshwater, acids, dust or sand! Failure to observe these
instructions will make any claims against Streifeneder ortho.production GmbH null and
void.
Please inform your prosthesis wearer accordingly!
To eliminate sounds in the cosmetic soft foam cover, use Silicone Parting Agent Spray.
Do not use talcum powder! Using talcum powder increases the risk of the patient falling,
as talcum powder withdraws grease from the mechanical components and therefore
function may be inhibited. If the product is used with talcum powder, all
claims against Streifeneder ortho.production are null and void. Spray the Silicone Parting
Agent Spray directly onto the friction surfaces of the cosmetic soft foam cover.
Furthermore, when using a foam cosmetic, make sure that it does not get stuck
between the moving parts of the knee joint, as this can lead to a fall.
Adjusting the load-dependent brake effect
„
The brake's response threshold can be regulated via the adjusting screw (fig. 3, A) which
tensions the compression spring.
When turning the screw clockwise, the braking effect only occurs at higher levels of load.
Turning the screw counterclockwise results in a more sensitive brake response.
Care must be taken when adjusting the brake to ensure that there is always sufficient
braking effect.
