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
Operating the product in very close proximity to other electronic devices
Falling due to unexpected behaviour of the product caused by interference with internal data communication.
► Do not operate the product in the immediate vicinity of other electronic devices.
► Do not stack the product with other electronic devices during operation.
► If simultaneous operation cannot be avoided, monitor the product and verify proper use in the existing setup.
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 (such as theft prevention systems, metal detectors...).
If this cannot be avoided, ensure at least that the patient has a safeguard when walking or standing (e.g. a
handrail or the support of another person).
CAUTION
Entering a room or area with strong magnetic fields (e.g. magnetic resonance tomographs, MRT (MRI)
equipment...)
> Falling due to unexpected restriction of the product's range of motion caused by metallic objects adhering to
the magnetised components.
> Irreparable damage to the product due to the effect of strong magnetic fields.
► Make sure that the patient takes off the product before entering the room or area and stores the product out­
side this room or area.
► Damage to the product caused by exposure to strong magnetic fields cannot be repaired.
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 103) during trial
fitting.

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.
