The following remaining functionality is available:
•
Continuous stance phase flexion resistance is set, with the ability to initiate the swing phase.
•
The swing phase control and stance phase extension resistance may be available or not depending on the type
of error.
•
Safety mode flexion resistance is configured. This may be low or high depending on the setting in the adjust
ment software.
The following functions are deactivated in safety mode:
•
OPG function
•
Stairs and obstacles function
•
Stance function
•
Sitting function
11.4 Overheating mode
INFORMATION
When mute mode (silent mode) is activated, no beep and vibration signals are generated.
When the hydraulic unit overheats due to uninterrupted, increased activity (e.g. extended walking downhill), damp
ing is increased along with the rising temperature in order to counteract the overheating. When the hydraulic unit
cools down, the product switches back to the damping settings that existed before the overheating mode.
Overheating mode is not activated in the MyModes.
Overheating mode is indicated by a long vibration every 5 seconds.
The following functions are deactivated in overheating mode:
•
OPG function
•
Stairs and obstacles function
•
Stance function
•
Sitting function
•
Display of the battery charge level without additional equipment
•
Switching to a MyMode
12 Storage and bleeding
Air may accumulate in the hydraulic unit if the product is stored for longer periods and not in an upright position.
This is noticeable through sounds and irregular damping behaviour.
The automatic bleeding mechanism ensures that all functions of the product are again intact after approximately 10
- 20 steps.
Storage
•
When storing the knee joint, press the top of the knee to the flexion stop.
•
Avoid extended disuse of the product (use the product regularly).
13 Cleaning
1) Clean the product with a damp cloth and mild soap (e.g. Ottobock 453H10=1 Derma Clean) when needed.
2) Dry the product with a lint-free cloth and allow it to air dry fully.
14 Maintenance
INFORMATION
This component was tested for three million load cycles in accordance with ISO 10328.
Depending on the activity level, this corresponds to a service life of three to five years.
The duration of use can be individually extended depending on the intensity of use by performing regular service
inspections.
Regular service inspections are recommended in the interest of the patient's safety and in order to maintain operat
ing reliability and protect the warranty. These service inspections include an inspection of sensors and replacement
of worn parts.
