BRACE APPLICATION INFORMATION
- Unfasten strap ends near black buckles and open brace flat by pulling both uprights apart.

- Place the leg on top of the flat brace. A shorter upright is applied to the thigh. Adjust brace until each upright is aligned to the centerline of the medial and lateral sides of the leg and the center of the hinge is aligned with the center of the knee joint.

- Telescope sliders by depressing the slider button until the desired length is reached. The top and bottom sliders should be adjusted first, followed by the sliders closest to the knee (note that inner sliders cannot be adjusted until the outer sliders are moved to provide sufficient clearance). Ensure that both bars are equal in length and that each strap slider is indexed to the same position on each upright respectively.
4. Adjust the strap lengths:
– Ensure the tab is lifted from the strap, allowing the strap to move freely (see arrow position A in figure 5)
– By pulling the strap away from the body, remove slack from the backside of the brace (see arrow position B in figure 5)
– Ensure uprights are aligned on medial and lateral sides of the leg
– Lower tab and apply pressure to secure strap
5. Attach each of the black buckles. Tighten straps by pulling on the loose ends. Remove the excess strap and reposition alligator strap end to the new edge of the strap. Secure strap-end to strap.
6. A) Adjust the hinge by pulling the Flexion and Extension stops outward and rotating until the desired angle aligns with the button center. Release stops and ensures they are fully inserted.
B) Utilize the quick-lock feature at -10, 0, 10, 20, or 30 degrees, by aligning the red arrow with the desired degree and sliding the red quick lock button inward until the lock is engaged. Ensure uprights do not rotate. If another lock setting is required, see step 6 and ensure both Flexion and Extension buttons are set at the same angle setting.
7. To remove the brace, release each buckle. The brace can then be reapplied as a single unit.
OTHER ADJUSTMENTS: The hinge bars may be bent to add varus or valgus contouring. Bend each bar by holding the thigh/calf bar firmly against a solid surface and apply gentle and constant pressure to the hinge in the direction desired. Bend each side bar an equal amount above and below the hinge. For optimal ease of application post-operatively, pre-fit the brace prior to surgery if possible.
STRAP REPLACEMENT: Should straps require replacement, carefully use scissors to cut away the strap where it connects to the slider. Insert the new strap and secure. contact JO for the X-ROM iQ Replacement Straps Kit. If you are having any medical issues or need an urgent response, please call your doctor’s office directly.

If the measured field strength in the location in which the X-ROM iQ sensor is used exceeds the applicable RF compliance level above, the X-ROM iQ sensor should be observed to verify normal operation. If abnormal performance is observed, additional measures may be necessary, such as reorienting or relocating the X-ROM iQ sensor. bOver the frequency range 150 kHz to 80 MHz, field strengths should be less than 3 V/m.
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
Recommended Separation Distances between Portable and Mobile RF Communications Equipment and the X-ROM iQ sensor
The X-ROM iQ sensor is intended for use in an electromagnetic environment in which radiated RF disturbances are controlled. The customer or the user of the X-ROM iQ sensor can help prevent electromagnetic interference by maintaining a minimum distance between portable and mobile RF communications equipment (transmitters) and the X- ROM iQ sensor as recommended below, according to the maximum output power of the communications equipment.
| The rated maximum output power of the transmitter (watts) | Separation distance according to the frequency of the transmitter (Meters) | ||
| 150 KHz to 80 MHz d = 1.2 VP | 80 MHz to 800 MHz d = 0.35 VP | 800 MHz to 2.5 Glitz d = 0.7 VP | |
| 0.01 | 0.12 | 0.03 | 0.07 |
| 0.1 | 0.38 | 0.11 | 0.22 |
| 1 | 1.2 | 0.35 | 0.7 |
| 10 | 3.8 | 1.1 | 2.2 |
| 100 | 12 | 3.5 | 7 |
For transmitters rated at a maximum output power not listed above, the recommended separation distance d in meters (m) can be estimated using the equation applicable to the frequency of the transmitter, where P is the maximum output power rating of the transmitter in watts (W) according to the transmitter manufacturer.
NOTE 1: At 80 MHz and 800 MHz, the separation distance for the higher frequency range applies.
NOTE 2: These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic propagation is affected by absorption and reflection from structures, objects, and people.
