Information On Proximity To Certain Areas; Information On Use - Otto Bock 1B1-2 Meridium Instructions For Use Manual

Safety
CAUTION
Operator errors during the adjustment process with the adjustment software
Falling due to unexpected behaviour of the product.
► Participation in an Ottobock product training course is mandatory prior to using the product. Additional
product training courses may become necessary to qualify for software updates.
► Correctly entering the patient data (e.g. body weight) is an important criterion for the quality of the fitting.
► Always enter the weight in the specified unit.
► Ensure that the required dimensions are selected and entered correctly.
► If the patient uses walking aids (e.g. crutches or walking canes) during the adjustment process, readjustment
is required as soon as the patient stops using these walking aids.

4.7 Information on Proximity to Certain Areas

CAUTION
Insufficient distance to HF communication devices (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 a minimum distance of 30 cm to HF communication devices is recommended.
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).
► In general, monitor the product for unexpected changes in the damping behaviour when electronic or magnet­
ic devices are in the immediate vicinity.
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 32) during trial fit­
ting.

4.8 Information on Use

CAUTION
Walking up stairs
Falling due to foot placed incorrectly on stair.
► Ensure that the patient uses the handrail when walking up stairs and places most of the sole of the foot on the
stair surface. The toe plate may fold away if only the front part of the foot is placed on the edge of the stair.
► Inform the patient that particular caution is required when carrying children while walking up stairs.
