Application
This device is to be used exclusively as part of a lower limb prosthesis.
Intended for a single user.
A moderate-energy-return foot. Independent heel and toe spring provides some axial deection.
The split toe provides good ground compliance.
Activity Level
This device is recommended for users that have the potential to achieve Activity Level 3.
Of course there are exceptions and in our recommendation we want to allow for unique,
individual circumstances. There may also be a number of users in the Activity Levels 2 and 4*
who would benet from this device, but this decision should be made with sound and thorough
justication.
*Maximum user weight 100kg and always use one higher spring rate category than shown in the
Spring set selection table.
Ensure that the user has understood all instructions for use, drawing particular attention to the
section regarding maintenance.

simple locomotion.

2 Safety Information
Any changes in the performance or
function 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.
The device is not suitable for extreme
sports, running or cycle racing, ice and
snow sports, extreme slopes and steps.
Any such activities undertaken are done
so completely at the users’own risk.
Recreational cycling is acceptable.
Assembly, maintenance and repair of
the device must only be carried out by
a suitably qualied clinician.
The user should contact their clinician if
their condition changes.
Ensure only suitably retrotted vehicles
are used when driving. All persons are
required to observe their respective
driving laws when operating motor
vehicles.
To minimise the risk of slipping and
tripping, appropriate footwear that
ts securely onto the footshell must be
used at all times.
This warning symbol highlights important safety information which must be
followed carefully.
Note… If in doubt choosing between two categories, choose the higher rate
spring set.
Foot Spring set recommendations shown are for transtibial users.
For transfemoral users we suggest selecting a spring set one category
lower, refer to tting advice Section 7 to ensure satisfactory function and
range of movement
