Otto Bock 8K18 Instructions For Use Manual page 10

CAUTION
Risk of injury as a result of excessive strain. The Ottobock prosthetic
components described in these instructions for use have been developed
for everyday use and must not be used for unusual activities such as
extreme sports (free climbing, paragliding, etc.).
Careful handling of the prosthesis and its components not only increases
their service life but, above all, ensures the patient's safety!
Should prosthetic components be subjected to unusual stresses (such
as a fall), immediately contact your prosthetist and have the components
inspected for any damage. If necessary, the responsible prosthetist will
pass the prosthesis on to the Ottobock Service.
NOTICE
Risk of corrosion. Prosthetic components must not be exposed to cor-
rosive elements such as fresh water, salt water, and acids.
Using this medical product in such environmental conditions will render
all claims against Otto Bock HealthCare null and void.
NOTICE
Damage caused by inappropriate environmental conditions. Prosthetic
components must not be subjected to intense smoke, dust, vibrations,
shocks, or high temperatures. Do not allow debris or liquids to get into
the prosthetic components.
Failure to follow these instructions can lead to malfunctioning and dam-
age to the prosthesis.
NOTICE
Damage caused by improper cleaning agents. Do not use any ag-
gressive cleaning agents since they could cause damage to bearings,
seals, and plastic parts.
