Shortening The Tube Adapter; Installing The Tube Adapter; Bench Alignment In Alignment Apparatus - Otto Bock Genium X3 3B5-2 Instructions For Use Manual

Preparation for use

8.1.2 Shortening the Tube Adapter

CAUTION
Incorrect processing of tube
Falling due to damage to the tube.
► Do not clamp the tube into a vice.
► For shortening the tube, use only a tube cutter.
CAUTION
Damage to the cable while shortening the tube adapter
Falling due to unexpected product behaviour as the result of switching into safety mode.
► When shortening the tube adapter, make sure the cable does not get damaged.
1) Determine the required length of the tube adapter using the configuration assistant in the adjustment software.
2) Shorten the tube adapter to the determined value with the 719R3 tube cutter.
3) Smooth the cutting surface with a deburring knife (e.g. 718S2) and sandpaper.
NOTICE! In case of raised material at the outer edge due to shortening the tube adapter, smoothing
this by machine is mandatory. Carefully deburr the inside to prevent damage to the tube adapter
cable.

8.1.3 Installing the Tube Adapter

CAUTION
Improper assembly of the screw connections
Falling due to breakage or loosening of the screw connections.
► Clean the threads before every installation.
► Apply the specified installation torque values.
► Observe the instructions for securing the screw connections and the use of the correct length.
1) Install the prosthetic foot on the tube adapter and tighten the set screws on the tube adapter to a torque of
15 Nm.
INFORMATION: The printed scale on the tube adapter has to face forward.
2) Connect the cable of the tube adapter to the cable of the knee joint.
3) Push the protruding cable loop back into the tube adapter. When the tube adapter has been shortened to the
minimum length, the plug must be inserted in the cavity. The cable loop must then be stored carefully.
4) Insert the tube adapter about 60 mm into the knee joint (for the exact value, consult the configuration assistant
in the adjustment software).
INFORMATION: Corrections in the insertion depth between 40 mm and 70 mm are permissible (slide
in 10 mm and pull out 20 mm).
5) Turn the foot outwards slightly and lightly tighten the two distal tube clamp screws (approx. 4 Nm).
INFORMATION: After trial fitting, all screws have to be tightened alternately, in several steps increas­
ing the torque slowly, until the prescribed torque is reached (see Page 25).
INFORMATION
If the knee head is fully flexed while the joint is standing upright, the joint switches to sitting or energy-saving
mode after about 2 seconds. Then the tube adapter can be disconnected without triggering an error message.
Ensure that there is no active Bluetooth connection.
This function can be used for storage, shipping or to replace tube adapters.

8.1.4 Bench alignment in alignment apparatus

With correct bench alignment, e.g. in the PROS.A. assembly alignment apparatus (743A200), the benefits of the
product are realised to best advantage. If the L.A.S.A.R. assembly alignment apparatus (743L200) is available, it
can be used as well.
Alignment can also be carried out using LaserLine/plumb line.
A calibrated alignment recommendation for prosthesis bench alignment is provided in the adjustment software for
the individual conditions of the prosthesis and patient. Therefore, consult the adjustment software for the alignment
data.
The following points must be observed during alignment:
