WARNING
Use of the product near active implanted systems
The product's magnetic field can interfere with active implanted systems (e.g. pacemakers, defibrillators etc.).
► When using the product in the immediate vicinity of active implanted systems, ensure that the minimum dis
tances stipulated by the manufacturer of the implant are observed.
► Make sure to observe any operating conditions and safety instructions stipulated by the manufacturer of the
implant.
CAUTION
Metallic objects or particles adhering to the magnetic cap
> Falling due to lack of suspension on the prosthetic socket.
> Damage to the product.
► Before putting on the liner, check for metallic objects or particles on the magnetic cap and remove any that
are present.
6.1 Putting on the liner and socket
Putting on the liner
1) Check the liner and magnetic cap for damage.
2) Turn the liner inside out and apply it to the end of the residual limb.
3) Apply the liner to the end of the residual limb and check the alignment of the liner at the same time.
INFORMATION: The orientation thread on the inner side of the liner has to be centred on the front of
the transfemoral residual limb. The liner's two seams have to be positioned on the sides of the trans
femoral residual limb.
4) Unroll the liner onto the residual limb so that it has no wrinkles or air pockets, without shifting the soft tissue.
5) Check the fit and the alignment of the liner.
6) In a standing position (or position with the residual limb nearly extended), unroll the liner part-way and roll it
back up again to release possible skin tension.
Putting on the socket
1) To open, pull the Boa dials away from the prosthetic socket.
2) Open the socket by pulling the shells apart.
3) Sit on the front edge of a chair.
4) Pull the socket over the residual limb.
INFORMATION: In doing so, note the alignment of the toes and the position of the lower leg so the
desired level of exterior foot rotation is given while standing and walking. If the exterior foot rotation
is not correct, take the socket off again (at least, the magnetic cap has to be released from the bottom
of the socket) and put it back on in a changed position.
→ The magnetic bottom shell of the socket and the magnetic cap of the liner attract each other when they are
brought close together. A clicking sound is heard, indicating the proper connection of the socket and liner.
5) Push the Boa dials towards the socket.
6) Turn the Boa dials clockwise.
