CAUTION
Feedback is disabled. When the mute mode is active, all vibration and beep signals are disabled In case of a
low battery or system errors, the safety modes will be activated without warnings If unexpected, this can cause
the patient to fall Be aware of this fact before activating the mute mode
CAUTION
Non-active safety mode. If the safety mode can no longer be activated, there is the risk that the patient will fall
If the knee joint can no longer be set to safety mode, the patient must actively secure the knee joint with the
residual limb musculature upon heel strike and visit a prosthetist as soon as possible
CAUTION
Danger when activating safety mode. The damping characteristics of the knee joint change when a safety
mode is activated In certain situations, this may cause the patient to fall
When the audible and vibration signals are emitted simultaneously, the patient must immediately stop all activi-
ties involving the leg prosthesis After approximately 10 seconds, and from a secure standing position, check
to see if stance phase resistance is active by slightly bending the knee joint repeatedly under controlled weight
bearing
CAUTION
Safety mode cannot be deactivated. If the knee joint is in safety mode, it is probably defective When in this
condition, malfunctions can occur This may cause the patient to fall
If the safety mode cannot be deactivated by recharging the battery, an error has occurred Contact the prosthe-
tist to have the error corrected
7.2 Charging Status
During normal operation, the battery charge level is indicated via vibration signals (in addition to the display on
the remote control) (see Section 21 "Charging the knee joint")
7.3 Storage and Ventilation
When storing the knee joint, push the knee head to the flexion stop When using the knee joint again, hold the
knee joint with the the knee head facing upwards and push the top of the knee until it is fully extended
If the knee joint is stored in a position other than vertical for an extended period, air can gather in the hydraulic
system This is noticeable through sounds and irregular damping behaviour
The automatic venting mechanism ensures that all functions of the knee joint are fully available after approximately
10 - 20 steps
7.4 Cleaning and Care
Clean the prosthesis with a damp cloth and mild soap (eg Ottobock 453H10=1 Derma Clean) when needed
Afterwards, dry the prosthesis component with a soft, lint-free cloth
7.5 Service
INFORMATION
This component has been tested according to the ISO 10328 standard for three million load cycles Depending
on the amputee's activity level, this corresponds to a duration of use of three to five years
The duration of use can be extended depending on the individual intensity of use by making use of regular ser-
vice inspections (see 3B5-X3/3B5-X3=ST Service Pass 646D589=*)
In the interest of patient safety and in order to maintain operating safety and the warranty, a service inspection is
required after 12 months (see 3B5-X3/3B5-X3=ST Service Pass 646D589=*) This service inspection includes a
verification of the sensors and the replacement of worn parts
For the service inspection, the knee joint with installed AXON tube adapter (2R19), remote control (4X350-X3) and
complete charger (4E60) including power supply (757L16-*) and 3B5-X3/3B5-X3=ST Service Pass (646D589=*)
must be sent to the authorised Ottobock Service Centre
