Ottobock 1C51 Taleo Vertical Shock Instructions D'utilisation page 17

The prosthetic feet have a functional ring. The functional ring absorbs vertical impact loads and
enables slight torsional movements.
The Taleo Harmony is additionally equipped with a mechanical vacuum pump.
While walking, the vacuum pump is compressed and released again, thus generating the vacu­
um. The elevated vacuum in the prosthetic socket improves the connection between the user and
the prosthesis.
1.2 Combination possibilities
This prosthetic component is compatible with Ottobock's system of modular connectors. Func­
tionality with components of other manufacturers that have compatible modular connectors has
not been tested.
2 Intended use
2.1 Indications for use
The product is to be used solely for lower limb exoprosthetic fittings.
2.2 Area of application
Our components perform optimally when paired with appropriate components based upon weight
and mobility grades identifiable by our MOBIS classification information and which have appro­
priate modular connectors.
The product is recommended for mobility grade 2 (restricted outdoor walker),
mobility grade 3 (unrestricted outdoor walker) and mobility grade 4 (unrestricted
m°
outdoor walker with particularly high demands).
