ADJUSTMENTS
The heel stiffness at foot loading can be adjusted using the stiffening bumpers. The bumpers may be temporarily attached using
the pre-applied adhesive in the location indicated in the table below. The recommended location will stiffen the heel of about 1
category. If necessary, move the bumpers anteriorly (stiffer) or posteriorly (softer) to get the desired stiffness. For permanent
placement, clean off the pre-applied adhesive with acetone and adhere bumpers using cyanoacrylate glue.

WARNINGS
In case of damaged packaging, check the integrity of the device.
Never use the foot without a foot shell.
Never loosen the pyramid fastening screws.
The patient must inform their prosthetist if they gain or lose significant weight.
Always use the foot with a sock and shoe. Failure to adhere to this advice may cause product failure, as well as serious
injury.
Make sure that the foot and inside of the foot shell are free of impurities (e.g., sand). The presence of impurities causes
the graphite parts to wear out. Clean the foot according to the instructions (see §16).
After swimming, using in water or if splashed by a liquid, the foot must be cleaned (see §16).
If the patient notices any abnormal behavior or feel any changes in the characteristics of the device (noise, play, excessive
wear...), or if the device has received a severe impact, they should stop using the device and consult their prosthetist.
Failure to follow the instructions for use is dangerous and will void the warranty.
