Remote Control - Otto Bock Genium Patient Information

MyMode Switching without the Remote Control
If switching by bouncing was activated in the X-Soft configuration software, switching into the first
MyMode without the Remote Control is accomplished by bouncing on the forefoot at least three times
within one second while maintaining ground contact and keeping the prosthetic leg extended. In doing
so, the forefoot has to bear approx. 40 % of the total body weight at peak load and less than approx.
25 % of the body weight at the lowest load. However, the load may not be taken off the foot fully.
3x in
1 sec.
After the audible signal is emitted (one long beep), your weight needs to be taken off the prosthesis
entirely for at least one second with the knee extended (no ground contact). The 3B1/ 3B1=ST knee
joint then switches to the first MyMode and emits two short beeps.
The procedure for switching to the second MyMode is similar, but by bouncing four times. In this case,
the switch is indicated by three short beeps.
Returning to basic mode from any MyMode is accomplished by bouncing at least three times. The switch
is confirmed by a short beep.
If bouncing three times is activated but bouncing four times is not, any number of bounces greater than
or equal to 3 switches to the first MyMode.
CAUTION
Improper MyMode switching. Incorrectly switching from MyModes into basic mode results in a risk
of falling (see the section MyMode Switching with the Remote Control)!
• After switching to one of the MyModes, check the functions since you may have accidentally
activated a different MyMode than you intended (see the sections MyMode Switching without the
Remote Control and MyMode Switching with the Remote Control).
• Ensure that you switch back to basic mode once your activities in the MyMode have ended.
INFORMATION
Switching back to basic mode by bouncing three or more times cannot be deactivated. This means
basic mode will be selected even if switching by bouncing was not activated in the X-Soft configura-
tion software.

Remote Control

During normal operation, the 3B1/ 3B1=ST knee joint can be used in basic mode (including optional
Intuitive Stance function, Sitting function, Stairs and Obstacles function, and OPG function) and in up
to five different MyModes. The MyModes can be activated using the Remote Control.
Basic mode is used on a day-to-day basis, while the MyModes are pre-programmed for specific move-
ments and / or postures such as standing at a workbench, cycling, inline skating or cross-country skiing.
