4.7 Information on Proximity to Certain Areas

CAUTION
Distance to HF communication devices is too small (e.g. mobile phones, Bluetooth devices, WiFi
devices)
Falling due to unexpected behaviour of the product caused by interference with internal data communication.
► Therefore, keeping the following minimum distances to these HF communication devices is recommended:
• Mobile phone GSM 850/GSM 900: 0.50 m
• Mobile phone GSM 1800/GSM 1900/UMTS: 0.35 m
• DECT cordless phones incl. base station: 0.18 m
• WiFi (routers, access points,...): 0.11 m
• Bluetooth devices (third-party products not approved by Ottobock): 0.11 m
CAUTION
Proximity to sources of strong magnetic or electrical interference (e.g. theft prevention systems, metal
detectors)
Falling due to unexpected behaviour of the product caused by interference with internal data communication.
► Ensure that the patient is not in the vicinity of sources of strong magnetic and electrical interference during tri­
al fitting (e.g. computer tomographs, magnetic resonance tomographs ...).
If this cannot be avoided, ensure at least that the patient is able to walk or stand securely (e.g. by using a
handrail or the support of another person).
CAUTION
Remaining in areas outside the allowable temperature range
Falling due to malfunction or the breakage of load-bearing product components.
► Ensure that the patient is not in areas outside the permissible temperature range (see Page 33) during trial fit­
ting.

4.8 Information on Use

CAUTION
Walking up stairs
Falling due to foot being placed incorrectly on stair as a result of changed damping behaviour.
► Inform the patient that the handrail always has to be used when walking up stairs, and that most of the sole of
the foot has to be set onto the stair surface.
► Particular caution is required when carrying children up the stairs.
CAUTION
Walking down stairs
Falling due to foot being placed incorrectly on stair as a result of changed damping behaviour.
► Inform the patient that the handrail always has to be used when walking down stairs, and that the patient has
to roll over the edge of the step with the middle of the shoe.
► The warnings and error signals have to be observed (see Page 32).
► Notify the patient that resistance in the flexion and extension direction can change in case of warnings and
error signals.
► Particular caution is required when carrying children down the stairs.
