1 Description and Intended Purpose

The device is a fully integrated, microprocessor-controlled knee and foot system.
The four microprocessors provide simultaneous control over both foot and knee
co-ordinating their responses for a variety of terrains and situations in one complete
biomimetic limb. Individual adjustment can be made for slopes and stairs and a stop
and lock mode for standing.
Application
The device is to be used exclusively as part of a lower limb prosthesis.
Intended for single user.
Make sure that you understand all instructions for use, drawing particular attention
to all maintenance and safety information sections.
Features
• All the functions of a microprocessor control in both knee and hydraulic ankle
• Centralised control of knee and foot to give the user a better response
• Proven to reduce stress at the socket interface
• An easy access single charging and point
• Longer battery life, 3 days average use from the internal rechargeable Li-ion
battery pack
The enhanced stability system offers:
• Stop and Lock mode, control of knee flexion and ankle for standing
• Controlled ramp descent with Braking effect of knee and ankle
• Provides assistance during ramp ascent
• Dynamic stair descent with an easy start of knee flexion
coupled with increasing support to gently lower the user during flexion
• Supportive resistance to flexion as soon as the knee stops flexing
• Increased supportive resistance to flexion to prevent 'stumbles' associated with
instability at heel strike
