Notes On The Safety Modes - Otto Bock Kenevo 3C60 Instructions For Use Manual

Safety
CAUTION
Overheating of the hydraulic unit due to uninterrupted, increased activity (e.g. extended walking down­
hill)
> Falling due to unexpected behaviour of the product because of switching into overheating mode.
> Burns due to touching overheated components.
► Be sure to pay attention when pulsating vibration signals start. They indicate the risk of overheating.
► As soon as these pulsating vibration signals begin, the activity level has to be reduced so the hydraulic unit
can cool down.
► Full activity may be resumed after the pulsating vibration signals stop.
► If the activity level is not reduced in spite of the pulsating vibration signals, this could lead to the hydraulic ele­
ment overheating and, in extreme cases, cause damage to the product. In this case, the product should be
inspected by an authorised Ottobock Service Centre.
CAUTION
Overloading due to unusual activities
> Falling due to unexpected product behaviour as the result of a malfunction.
> Falling due to breakage of load-bearing components.
> Skin irritation due to defects on the hydraulic unit with leakage of liquid.
► The product was developed for everyday use and should not be used for walking speeds over 3 km/h or
unusual activities. These unusual activities include, for example, extreme sports (free climbing, parachuting,
paragliding, etc.).
► Careful handling of the product and its components not only increases their service life but, above all, ensures
the patient's personal safety!
► If the product and its components have been subjected to extreme loads (e.g. due to a fall, etc.), then the
product must be inspected for damage immediately. If necessary, forward the product to an authorised
Ottobock Service Centre.
