1 Description and Purpose
Application
These instructions for use are for the practitioner.
The term device is used throughout these instructions for use to refer to Elite2.
This device is to be used exclusively as part of a lower limb prosthesis.
A high-energy-return foot. The independent heel and toe springs provide axial deflection. The
split toe provides good ground compliance.
This device is recommended for users that have the potential to achieve Activity Level 3 or 4. Of
course there are exceptions and in our recommendation we want to allow for unique, individual
circumstances and any such decision should be made with sound and thorough justification.
To minimise the risk of slipping and tripping, appropriate footwear that fits securely onto the
footshell must be used at all times.
Contra-indications
This device might not be suitable for Activity Level 1 individuals or for competitive sports events,
as these types of users will be better served by a specially designed prosthesis optimized for their
needs.
Intended for a single user.
Ensure that the user has understood all instructions for use, drawing particular attention to the
section regarding maintenance.
