Otto Bock Genium Patient Information page 12

X-Soft is used to configure which MyModes are used as well as their settings. However, some parameters
can also be adjusted with the remote control.
CAUTION
Improper MyMode switching using the Remote Control. MyMode switching using the Remote Control
changes the cushioning properties of the knee joint. In certain situations, this can cause you to fall.
You must stand securely when switching between modes and must carefully confirm whether the
desired function was successfully set by the 3B1/3B1=ST knee joint.
CAUTION
Penetration of water into the Remote Control. The Remote Control is not waterproof. If water pen-
etrates the Remote Control, the device may be damaged (warranty will become void). This can lead to
malfunction of the Remote Control, result in unexpected actions of the knee joint and cause you to fall.
If penetrated by water, the Remote Control should be dried at room temperature for at least 1 day.
Before using the Remote Control again, send it to an authorised Ottobock Service Centre. Please
contact your prosthetist with any service questions.
CAUTION
Manipulation of the Remote Control. Any changes or modifications you make to the Remote Control
on your own initiative can lead to malfunction and result in unexpected actions of the knee joint. This
can cause you to fall.
Any changes or modifications to the device may limit its usability.
CAUTION
Unauthorised connection. If an unauthorised connection between a Remote Control and a knee joint
is established, the knee can react unexpectedly. This can lead to the patient falling. Pairing between
the knee and the Remote Control does not require any password or acknowledgment from the knee.
It is therefore theoretically possible (with known serial number of the knee or if only one knee is within
range of the Remote Control), that a third party performs pairing with the knee joint and changes
settings or switches MyModes.
INFORMATION
The knee joint should be consciously kept motionless during the switching process.
INFORMATION
For safety reasons, the Remote Control automatically turns off after two minutes. After the Remote
Control is turned on, approx. three seconds may elapse before if is ready for mode switching processes.
INFORMATION
The range of the Remote Control is max. 5 m.
