FIOR & GENTZ NEURO LOCK Notice D'utilisation page 30

Risk of Falling Due to Improper Handling
Inform the patient about the correct use of the system joint and potential dangers especially with
regards to:
- moisture and water;
- excessive mechanical stress (e.g. due to sports, increased activity or weight gain) and
- unintentional unlocking of the system joint under flexion load.
Risk of Falling Due to Loosely Attached Cover Plate
Mount the cover plate to the system joint according to the assembly instructions in these instructions for
use. Secure the screws with the specified torque and the corresponding adhesive and make sure that no
sliding washers are damaged in the process.
Risk of Falling Due to Permanent Higher Load
If patient data has changed (e.g. due to weight gain, growth or increased activity), recalculate the load
capacity of the system joint. For this purpose, use the Orthosis Configurator or contact Technical Support.
Risk of Falling Due to Improper Shoe/Wrong Shoe Pitch
Advise the patient to wear a shoe to which the orthosis is adjusted in order to avoid joint dysfunction.
Risk of Falling Due to Greased Locking Parts
Grease the system joint only slightly. Make sure that no grease enters between locking pawl and stop disc.
Risk of Falling Due to Play in the System Joint
In order to achieve a lock function that is free of play, mount the locking parts as described in these
instructions for use. In particular, check whether:
- the locking pawl locks properly and
- the degree of extension stop and stop disc match.
Exchange the locking parts, if necessary.
Risk of Falling Due to Insufficient Rigidity of the Orthosis
Ensure sufficient rigidity of the orthosis shells during the construction of the orthosis in order to prevent it
from bending or distorting over time and thus impairing the lock function.
