34.1. The Board assumes the cost of purchase or replacement of a device referred to in the second paragraph of section 27 provided that the written attestation prescribed therein is sent to the Board, jointly prepared and signed by each of the members of a multidisciplinary rehabilitation team that includes at least a physiotherapist or occupational therapist, designated by the centre referred to in the second paragraph of section 27, an orthotist, a prosthesist or a orthotics-prosthetics technician from the centre and the physician designated by the centre as a member of the team.

When replacing such a device, where the insured person’s condition has not changed, the attestation may establish that the insured device is not furnished in the course of a rehabilitation process since rehabilitation is not required.
