1.11. Warranty

We assume the warranty for the brace for a
period of 3 months. The brace is a medical
rehabilitation device and must not be used
for any purpose other than the intended, as
described in the Instructions for Use. Changes
to the brace or other applications require the
written consent of the albrecht GmbH. If this
is not obtained, the manufacturer may not
honor the guarantee. If you are using single
joints or other components, these should be
used as intended. If changes or modifications
(e.g. additional mounting holes) are made
to the individual parts or components, the
manufacturer's warranty no longer applies. The
removal of or damage to the QM seal will also
void the warranty.

1.12. Transfer of the brace

The brace is not intended for single use, but
rather is intended for multiple use by a single
person. We do not recommend transfer to
other users. Should this be desired however,
please ensure to pass on the care and cleaning
instructions and have the brace checked by an
authorized specialist dealer for safe and proper
operation.

polluting agents or substances. Provided that it
is not contaminated with infectious germs, it can
be disposed of by normal means. In order to be
certain, please consult your orthopaedics store.

1.14. Individual adjustments

The overall height of the front and back parts
depends on the length of the aluminium rails
and the positioning of the individual plastic
modules. Once the size has been determined
using our table, the overall height can be
precisely adjusted by moving the individual pads.
The anatomically preformed aluminium rails
of the front and back parts can be individually
moulded to fit the patient and the indication.
Once this has been done the actual mounting of
the MKS ® Thorecta plus
Front part: Once the overall height has been
adjusted by moving the sternal and symphyseal
pad, the abdominal plate is positioned. Once all
the modules are in the right position, they are
fixed with the screws provided.
Back part: When sliding on or moving the
individual modules of the back part, it is
recommended that you first screw the bottom
pad into position. This will prevent any offset
between the two aluminium rails and will make
the exact positioning of the individual modules
easier.
Once all the elements have been fixed at the
right height, you can start to adjust the girths.
If the adjustable length of the hook and loop
straps is insufficient, the lugs of the straps can
be adjusted.
Should an ideal fit still not be possible despite
the wide range of adjustment, all aluminium
