2.3 Safety instructions
Please make your patients aware of the following safety instructions:
WARNING
Risk of accident when driving a motor vehicle. The ability of
prosthesis users to drive a vehicle is determined on a case-by-case
basis. Factors include the type of fitting (amputation level, unilateral or
bilateral, residual limb conditions, design of the prosthesis) and the
amputee's abilities.
All persons are required to observe their country's national and state
driving laws when operating motor vehicles. For insurance purposes,
drivers should have their driving ability examined and approved by an
authorized test centre.
For maximum safety and convenience, Otto Bock recommends that, at
the very least, a specialist evaluates the need for any adaptations to
the car (such as installing a steering fork, automatic shift). Risk-free
driving should be ensured even when the prosthesis is not functioning.
CAUTION
Risk of injury as a result of improper manipulation. Inadvertent
activation of the Actuating Button (Figure 1) can cause the Terminal
Device to change position.
CAUTION
Risk of injury as a result of excessive strain. The ROBO-WRIST's
superior strength of the 3D interlocking technology has been well
documented and tested to withstand most any task subjected to by the
patient if used correctly. However, to guard against damage to the
actuator assembly or the ball nipple race when performing extreme
sports, the 2-part Titanium Adapter must be used as described in
section 1.2 Accessories.
Should the bearer of the ROBO-WRIST violate the rule of using the 2-
part Titanium Adapter while engaging in such sports, the terminal
device could slip somewhat from its assigned angular position,
potentially as far as touching the Tension Ring. Following such
