Safety Information

The caution symbol highlights safety information which must be followed carefully.
Any changes in the performance of
the limb e.g. restricted movement,
non-smooth motion or unusual noises
should be immediately reported to
your service provider.
Always use a hand rail when
descending stairs and at any other
time if available.
Any excessive changes in heel height
after programming will adversely
affect limb function and should be
immediately reported to your service
provider for reprogramming and
calibration.
After continuous use the ankle and
knee casing may become hot to the
touch.
Avoid strong magnetic fields, sources
of electrical interference, atmospheres
containing liquids and/or powders.
Do not place near any heat source. Do
not leave in direct sunshine or inside a
car in hot weather.
Linx is not intended for use when
immersed in water or as a shower
prosthesis. If the limb comes
into contact with water wipe dry
immediately.
Ensure no water enters the charger
plug socket and the cover is on at all
times.
Never plug the charger into Linx
whilst still wearing the limb.
Be aware of finger trap hazard at all
times
