1 Description and Intended Purpose

The term device is used throughout this manual to refer to Orion3.
The device is a microprocessor controlled knee prosthesis that provides swing and stance control
and adapts to variable cadence. It has a programmable stance yield setting for secure stance
control on stairs, ramps and during active gait with a cadence range from slow walking to fast
walking.
The knee also provides an additional standing support mode for enhanced stability. The set-up
procedure is through an easy to use PC interface via a Bluetooth® connection to the on-board
module.
Application
The device is to be used exclusively as part of a lower limb prosthesis.
Intended for single user.
Please read all these instructions for use, paying particular attention to the sections regarding
safety and maintenance.
Features:
• Microprocessor controlled stance and swing
• Standing support mode that controls knee flexion for standing
• Software based set-up via a built-in Bluetooth® link
• User modes: Cycling and Flexion Lock mode
• Up to 3 days of normal use from the internal rechargeable Li-ion battery pack
In addition the device offers enhanced stability:
• Dynamic stair descent with easy initiation of knee flexion with customizable yield rate
(resistance level increases with knee flexion angle)
• Supportive resistance to flexion as soon as the knee stops flexing
• Increased supportive resistance to flexion to prevent 'stumbles' associated with instability at
heel strike
• Supportive yield for sitting down
