Otto Bock 1B1-2 Meridium Instructions For Use Manual page 49

► Observe the warning/error signals, the errors that appear on the remote control display (see
Page 77) and the corresponding change in damping settings.
CAUTION
Independent user manipulation of system components
Falling due to breakage of load-bearing components or malfunction of the product.
► Manipulations to the product other than the tasks described in these instructions for use are
not permitted.
► The battery may only be handled by Ottobock authorised, qualified personnel (no replace­
ment by the user).
► The product and any damaged components may only be opened and repaired by authorised,
qualified Ottobock personnel.
CAUTION
Mechanical stress on the product
> 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.
► Do not subject the product to mechanical vibrations or impacts.
► Check the product for visible damage before each use.
CAUTION
Use of the product when battery charge level is too low
Falling due to unexpected behaviour of the prosthesis because of changed damping behaviour.
► Check the current charge level before use and charge the prosthesis if required.
► Note that the operating time of the product may be reduced at low ambient temperatures or
due to ageing of the battery.
CAUTION
Penetration of liquid into system components
Falling due to unexpected product behaviour as the result of malfunction.
► When the footshell is intact, the prosthesis is protected against splashed water from all dir­
ections. However, it is not protected against submersion, jets of water and steam.
If water has penetrated into system components, have a prosthetist remove the footshell and
►
allow the components to dry. The prosthesis must then be sent to an authorised Ottobock
Service Centre for inspection.
► If salt water penetrates the prosthesis, the footshell must be removed immediately by a pros­
thetist. The prosthesis must be inspected by an authorised Ottobock Service Centre.
► Do not use the product for bathing prostheses.
CAUTION
Overloading due to unusual activities
> Falling due to unexpected product behaviour as the result of malfunction.
> Falling due to breakage of load-bearing components.
> Skin irritation due to defects on the hydraulic unit with leakage of liquid.
