This device has been tested as per standard NF EN ISO 10328 for a load level of P5 (i.e. 100 kg) for 3 million cycles, corresponding to
a service life of 4 to 5 years, depending on the patient's activity level.
C. Action mechanism
This knee with stance phase brake comes with 3 distinct settings and extension return.
During the stance phase, the ground reaction force closes a jaw, which locks the rotation axis.
3. INTENDED USERS/INDICATIONS

This device is for SINGLE-PATIENT use. It must not be reused on another patient.
The knee's maximum bend is 150°. It may however be limited by the socket volume or by the aesthetic
coating.

Set the brake according to the patient's weight and activity.
