Otto Bock Genium X3 3B5-2 Instructions For Use Manual page 16

Safety
CAUTION
Incorrect alignment or assembly
Falling due to damage to the prosthesis components.
► Observe the alignment and assembly instructions.
CAUTION
Errors during prosthesis alignment
> Falling due to unexpected product behaviour as the result of a malfunction.
> Falling due to breakage of load-bearing components.
► At maximum flexion, it is essential to maintain a minimum distance of 3 mm (1/8") between the hydraulic unit
and the socket.
► At maximum extension (reached under full load), it is essential to maintain a minimum distance of 5 mm (1/4")
between the sealing sleeve/top edge of the installed Protective Cover and the socket.
► If there is contact between the socket and the joint (hydraulic unit, frame) at maximum flexion, then the joint
must be fitted with a flexion stop (e.g. in the case of voluminous residual limbs).
If contact between the socket and joint (hydraulic unit, frame) occurs anyway at maximum flexion, the socket
has to lie flat on the frame (with the help of soft padding on the socket).
CAUTION
Insufficient insertion depth of the tube adapter
Falling due to breakage of load-bearing components.
► Insert the tube adapter at least 40mm to ensure operational safety.
► The patient must be seated for length adjustments.
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.
