2 Key points
Linx must not be used with large variations in heel height.
Do not attempt stairs descent leg-over-leg on a Linx limb unless you have
been trained for stairs descent.
High flexion resistance settings may induce some noise during stairs descent, this will
not affect function.
Any changes in performance of this device must be reported to the clinician.
Changes in performance may include:
• Increase or decrease in knee and/or ankle stiffness
• Instability
• Knee starting to extend too aggressively
• Reduced ankle/knee support (free movement)
• Any unusual noise
• Any unrecognized beeps or warning lights
The practitioner must also be informed of the following:
• Any changes in body weight and/or activity level.
• Significant wear or excessive discoloration from long term exposure to UV.
Cleaning:
Use a damp cloth and mild soap to clean outside surfaces, DO NOT use aggressive
cleansers. Ensure water/liquids do not enter the charging socket. Thoroughly dry before
use.
Environment:
Avoid exposing Linx to corrosive elements such as water, acids and other liquids. Also
avoid abrasive environments such as those containing sand for example as these may
3 Transport and storage
1. Ensure that Linx is in a straight (fully extended) position when not in use.
2. If the limb is to be stored upright then it must be secured to prevent it falling over
or flexing.
3. If Linx is shipped either on its own or built into a limb it should be maintained in
an extended position and packaged in a suitable box to allow this.
4. If a unit is to be returned, contact Endolite prior to sending if any obvious physical
damage has occurred to the battery pack.
5. For transport purposes the unit must be switched off, and packed securely so that
a) it cannot be inadvertently switched on and become operative while in transit;
b) the unit is thoroughly protected from damage in transit.
promote premature wear.
Exclusively for use between -10 ˚C and 50 ˚C (14 ˚F
