4 Key Points

The device must not be used with large variations in heel height.
Do not attempt stairs descent leg-over-leg on this device unless you have been
trained for stairs descent.
High flexion resistance settings may induce some noise during stairs descent, this will not affect
function.
Any changes in performance of this device must be reported to the clinician.
Changes in performance may include:
• Increase or decrease in knee and/or ankle stiffness
• Instability
• Knee starting to extend too aggressively
• Reduced ankle/knee support (free movement)
• Any unusual noise
• Any unrecognized beeps or warning lights
The practitioner must also be informed of the following:
• Any changes in body weight and/or activity level
• Significant wear or excessive discoloration from long term exposure to UV
Cleaning:
Use a damp cloth and mild soap to clean outside surfaces, DO NOT use aggressive cleansers. Ensure
water/liquids do not enter the charging socket.
Thoroughly dry before use.
To clean the magnetic mating surfaces of the charging connector and charging terminal use a
clean and dry cotton swab or a soft bristle brush. Make sure that no cotton fibres or bristles are
left on the surfaces.
Never apply water or any other cleaning liquid to the magnetic mating surfaces.
Environment:
Avoid exposing the device to corrosive elements such as water, acids and other liquids. Also
avoid abrasive environments such as those containing sand for example as these may promote
premature wear.

5 Transport and Storage

1. Ensure that the device is in a straight (fully extended) position when not in use.
2. If the limb is to be stored upright then it must be secured to prevent it falling over or flexing.
3. If the device is shipped either on its own or built into a limb it should be maintained in an
extended position and packaged in a suitable box to allow this.
4. If a unit is to be returned, contact Blatchford prior to sending if any obvious physical damage
has occurred to the battery pack.
5. For transport purposes the unit must be switched off, and packed securely so that
a) it cannot be inadvertently switched on and become operative while in transit;
b) the unit is thoroughly protected from damage in transit.
The charging surfaces of the connectors should be kept
away from other magnetic or conductive materials.
Exclusively for use between -10 ˚C and 50 ˚C (14 ˚F to
122 ˚F).
