Information On Use - Otto Bock 17KO1 Series Instructions For Use Manual

CAUTION
Proximity to sources of strong magnetic or electrical interference (e.g. theft prevention
systems, metal detectors)
Falling due to unexpected behaviour of the product caused by interference with internal data
communication.
► Avoid remaining in the vicinity of visible or concealed theft prevention systems at the
entrance/exit of stores, metal detectors/body scanners for people (e.g. in airports) or other
sources of strong magnetic and electrical interference (e.g. high-voltage lines, transmitters,
transformer stations...).
If this cannot be avoided, ensure at least that you have a safeguard when walking or stand­
ing (e.g. a handrail or the support of another person).
► When walking through theft prevention systems, body scanners or metal detectors, watch
for unexpected changes in the damping behaviour of the product.
CAUTION
Entering a room or area with strong magnetic fields (e.g. magnetic resonance tomo­
graphs, MRT (MRI) equipment...)
> Falling due to unexpected restriction of the product's range of motion caused by metallic
objects adhering to the magnetised components.
> Irreparable damage to the product due to the effect of a strong magnetic field.
► Take off the product before entering a room or area with strong magnetic fields and store the
product outside this room or area.
► Damage to the product caused by exposure to a strong magnetic field cannot be repaired.
CAUTION
Remaining in areas outside the allowable temperature range
Falling due to breakage of load-bearing components or malfunction of the product.
► Avoid remaining in areas with temperatures outside of the permissible range (see Page 91).

4.8 Information on Use

CAUTION
Improper mode switching
Falling due to unexpected behaviour of the product because of changed damping behaviour.
► Ensure that you stand securely during all switching processes.
► Verify the changed damping characteristics after switching and observe the feedback from
the acoustic signal emitter.
Switch back to basic mode once the activities in MyMode have been completed.
►
► Take the weight off the product and correct the switching, if required.
CAUTION
Risk of pinching in the joint flexion area
> Injury due to pinching of body parts.
> Damage to garments due to pinching in the mechanism of the joint unit or medial support.
► Ensure that no body parts or garments are in this area when flexing the product.
