Dynamic Alignment:
F.
The use of a slide adapter is highly encouraged for dynamic alignment purposes, as it provides the best solution to troubleshooting the
most common alignment issues listed below:
a. Hard or soft heel
b. Hard or soft toe
c. Varus or Valgus movements during Stance Phase
Once the optimal relative socket/foot alignment is determined, it is encouraged to use plantarflexion or dorsiflexion at the proximal foot
adapter to optimize heel-to-toe comfort and energy return.
For RUSH ROGUE 2 Foot and RUSH ROGUE 2 EVAQ8:
If the patient still requests additional heel stiffness, it is appropriate to introduce and utilize the Heel Wedge provided in the original RUSH
ROGUE 2 and RUSH ROGUE 2 EVAQ8 package.
This Heel Wedge uses a double-sided sticker so the lower face of the blade should be degreased before using. See figures below for correct
wedge placement.
NOTE: The RUSH ROGUE 2 H2O does not include Heel Wedges.
CORRECT HEEL WEDGE PLACEMENT
Install Heel Wedge on plantar surface of rocker
approximately 1/8" (3.2mm) forward from
posterior end.
7. DETECTION OF MALFUNCTIONS
If you notice any abnormal behavior or feel any changes in the characteristics of the device, or if the device has received a severe impact, consult
your prosthetist.
8. WARNINGS, CONTRAINDICATIONS, AND SIDE EFFECTS
A. Warnings
Inappropriate use of the device, in relation to the recommendations of your prosthetist, can cause the degradation of parts of the foot
(carrying heavy loads for example, excessive stress, exceeding the service life, etc.)
Waterproof: The device is resistant to fresh, sea, and chlorinated water.
B. Contraindications
The device is inappropriate for users who do not meet the requirements of a Medicare functional level of K3 or higher.
This device is not intended for activities where there is a risk of severe impact or excessive overload.
C. Side effects
There are no known negative side effects.
Any serious incident that has occurred in relation to the device should be reported to the manufacturer and the competent authority.

MAINTENANCE, STORAGE, DISPOSAL, AND DURABILITY
A. Maintenance/ Cleaning:
No maintenance operation such as lubrication, work on the screws, or other parts is required.
Inspect the foot module every six months. If the user is more active, more frequent inspection may be necessary. Service as necessary.
The foot module may be cleaned and/or disinfected with soap and warm water.
For options with a foot shell:
Do not allow aggregates such as sand to remain in the foot shell. Upon exposure to aggregates, immediately disassemble
prosthesis by removing the foot shell from the foot and rinse with water. The abrasive properties of aggregates will wear the
fiberglass components of the foot module.
After use in water:
•
Remove the foot shell and take off the sock
•
Rinse the foot with clean water
•
Dry well
Replace sock and/or foot shell if worn to prevent damage to the fiberglass components.
The RUSH FOOT EVAQ8 Collection components may need periodic cleaning or replacement during the life cycle of the system and are not
replaceable under the warranty as it is considered normal wear:
•
Tubing
•
Inline filter
•
One-way valves housed inside the vacuum heel
B. Periodic Inspection of the RUSH ROGUE 2 EVAQ8 System:
• Inspect the foot module every six months. If the user is more active, more frequent inspection may be necessary. Service as necessary.
• Visually inspect the tubing for kinks, cracks, or wear that may leak air into the system. Replace tubing if any of these conditions exist.
• Remove the inline filter from tubing and look through it. If light can be seen, the filter is clean. If light is blocked, blast air from a syringe
through the inline filter from distal to proximal end (reverse of normal flow) to attempt to clear the blockage. If blockage persists, the
filter needs to be replaced.
• The one-way valves contained in the vacuum heel may need to be cleaned and flushed with distilled water or isopropyl alcohol to
ensure proper function. This procedure should be done only by a qualified professional.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
INCORRECT HEEL WEDGE PLACEMENT
Placement between components will adversely affect
foot performance and void warranty.
