Safety Mode; Overheating Mode; Storage And Bleeding; Cleaning - Otto Bock Genium X3 3B5-2 Instructions For Use Manual

12.3 Safety mode

The product automatically switches to safety mode if a critical system fault occurs (e.g. failure of a sensor signal).
Safety mode remains in effect until the error has been rectified.
The switch to safety mode is indicated by beeps and vibration signals immediately prior to switching (see Page 49).
Safety mode can be disabled by connecting and disconnecting the battery charger. If the product switches into
safety mode again, this means a permanent error exists. The product must be inspected by an authorised Ottobock
Service Centre.
Depending on the type and severity of the error, different remaining functionality is offered in safety mode which
enables limited walking by the user.
The following remaining functionality is available:
• Continuous stance phase flexion resistance is set, with the ability to initiate the swing phase.
• The swing phase control and stance phase extension resistance may be available or not depending on the type
of error.
• Safety mode flexion resistance is configured. This may be low or high depending on the setting in the adjust­
ment software.
The following functions are deactivated in safety mode:
• OPG function
• Stairs and obstacles function
• Stance function
• Sitting function

12.4 Overheating mode

INFORMATION
When mute mode (silent mode) is activated, no beep and vibration signals are generated.
When the hydraulic unit overheats due to uninterrupted, increased activity (e.g. extended walking downhill), damp­
ing is increased along with the rising temperature in order to counteract the overheating. When the hydraulic unit
cools down, the product switches back to the damping settings that existed before the overheating mode.
Overheating mode is not activated in the MyModes.
Overheating mode is indicated by a long vibration every 5 seconds.
The following functions are deactivated in overheating mode:
• OPG function
• Stairs and obstacles function
• Stance function
• Sitting function
• Display of the battery charge level without additional equipment
• Switching to a MyMode

13 Storage and bleeding

Air may accumulate in the hydraulic unit if the product is stored for longer periods and not in an upright position.
This is noticeable through sounds and irregular damping behaviour.
The automatic bleeding mechanism ensures that all functions of the product are again intact after approximately 10
- 20 steps.
Storage
• When storing the knee joint, press the top of the knee to the flexion stop.
• Avoid extended disuse of the product (use the product regularly).

14 Cleaning

1) Rinse the product with clear fresh water.
2) Dry the product with a soft cloth.
3) Allow to air dry in order to remove residual moisture.
