Safety
CAUTION
Operator errors during the adjustment process with the adjustment software
Falling due to unexpected prosthesis behaviour.
► Do not charge the prosthesis battery during the configuration process since the prosthesis is not functional
while the battery is being charged.
► The prosthesis must not remain unattended during the configuration process while connected to the adjust­
ment software and being worn by the patient.
► Observe the maximum range of the Bluetooth connection and take note that obstacles may limit this range.
► During the data transfer (PC to prosthesis) the prosthesis wearer should sit still or stand securely, and the
BionicLink PC must not be removed from the computer.
► If only temporary changes to the settings are to be made while connected to the adjustment software, these
changes must be reversed before the adjustment software is closed.
It must also be ensured that the patient does not leave the range of the Bluetooth connection with settings that
have been changed temporarily.
► Inform the patient immediately if the data connection is accidentally interrupted during the configuration pro­
cess.
► The connection to the prosthesis must always be disconnected after adjustments have been completed.
► Participation in an Ottobock product training course is mandatory prior to the initial use of the product. Addi­
tional product training courses may be required to qualify for software updates.
► Correctly entering the foot size, the prosthesis dimensions and the body weight are important criteria for the
quality of the fitting. If the values are too high, the prosthesis may not switch to the swing phase. If the values
are too low, the prosthesis may trigger the swing phase at the wrong time.
► If the patient uses walking aids (e.g. crutches or walking canes) during the adjustment process, readjustment
is required as soon as the patient stops using these walking aids.
► Use the online help which is integrated into the software.
► Do not pass on your personal access data.
CAUTION
Safety mode flexion resistance set too low
Falling due to unexpected product behaviour as the result of switching into safety mode.
► Safety mode flexion resistance should be configured so that it is possible to stand safely without the knee joint
buckling.
CAUTION
Using the product without calibration
Falling due to unexpected product behaviour as the result of the swing phase being initiated too early/too late.
► Use the adjustment software to carry out calibration at the beginning of static alignment optimisation and at
the end of dynamic alignment optimisation.

4.7 Information on Proximity to Certain Areas

CAUTION
Insufficient distance to HF communication devices (e.g. mobile phones, Bluetooth devices, WiFi
devices)
Falling due to unexpected behaviour of the product caused by interference with internal data communication.
► Therefore, keeping a minimum distance of 30 cm to HF communication devices is recommended.
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.
► Ensure that the patient is not in the vicinity of sources of strong magnetic and electrical interference during tri­
al fitting (such as theft prevention systems, metal detectors...).
If this cannot be avoided, ensure at least that the patient has a safeguard when walking or standing (e.g. a
handrail or the support of another person).
