3. Maintenance of the Orthosis
Ask your orthotist or a qualified/trained expert to check the system joint of your orthosis regularly. When the
orthosis is handed over, you receive an orthosis service passport. Bring this orthosis service passport to each
follow-up and let your orthotist or a qualified/trained expert enter the next maintenance appointment. For
your own safety, respect the maintenance appointments. Never carry out maintenance work or other adjust-
ments and repairs yourself. In the case of children and people with cognitive impairments, we would like to
point out to you as parents or care team that you must regularly check the orthosis and the system joint for
signs of wear. If you notice any changes, immediately contact your orthotist or a qualified/trained expert.
3.1 Dirt Removal from the System Joint
Remove dirt from the system joints on a regular basis. Use a dry cloth and clean the system joint only superfi-
cially. Then, remove visible dust and lint from the mechanics by using tweezers. Check the orthosis in straight
and flexed position.
4. Storage of the System Joint
We recommend that you do not store the system joint in a damp environment.
5. Disposal of the Orthosis
If you no longer need the orthosis, please return it to your orthotist or a qualified/trained
expert. The product must not be disposed of with the residual waste (fig. 1).
