Shortening The Tube Adapter; Installing The Tube Adapter - Otto Bock Genium Instructions For Use Manual

Switching on Bluetooth
Upon delivery the Bluetooth function of the prosthesis is switched on.
The Bluetooth function can be switched off using the Cockpit app or the adjustment software. When the Bluetooth
function is switched off, it is only turned on temporarily for 2 minutes after connecting/disconnecting the battery
charger and is then turned off again automatically. When a connection with the PC is active (the
lit up), the Bluetooth function is not switched off automatically.

7.1.2 Shortening the Tube Adapter

CAUTION
Incorrect processing of tube
Falling due to damage to the tube.
► Do not clamp the tube into a vice.
► For shortening the tube, use only a tube cutter.
CAUTION
Damage to the cable while shortening the tube adapter
Falling due to unexpected product behaviour as the result of switching into safety mode.
► When shortening the tube adapter, make sure the cable does not get damaged.
1) Determine the required length of the tube adapter using the configuration assistant in the adjustment software.
2) Shorten the tube adapter to the determined value with the 719R3 tube cutter.
3) Store the tube adapter cable in the tube adapter. If this is not possible, the cable must be protected against
damage.
4) Use a file (cut 2 (medium), e.g. 715H1=2 recommended) to file the cut edge smooth. Be careful of the tube
adapter cable.
NOTICE! When filing or deburring, make sure that no metal shavings can get into the plug of the tube
adapter cable.
5) Chamfer the outside with a file.
6) Smooth the inside and outside of the cut edge with sandpaper (recommended grit 120).

7.1.3 Installing the Tube Adapter

CAUTION
Improper assembly of the screw connections
Falling due to breakage or loosening of the screw connections.
► Clean the threads before every installation.
► Apply the specified tightening torque values for installation (see the section "Technical data" see Page 96).
► Observe the instructions for securing the screw connections and the use of the correct length.
1) Install the prosthetic foot on the tube adapter and tighten the set screws on the tube adapterto a torque of
15 Nm.
INFORMATION: The printed scale on the tube adapter must face forward.
2) Connect the cable of the tube adapter to the cable of the knee joint.
3) Push the protruding cable loop back into the tube adapter. If the tube adapter has been shortened to the min­
imum length, the plug must be inserted in the cavity. The cable loop must then be stored carefully.
4) Insert the tube adapter about 60 mm into the knee joint (for the exact value, consult the configuration assistant
in the adjustment software).
INFORMATION: Corrections in the insertion depth between 40 mm and 70 mm are permissible (slide
in 10 mm and pull out 20 mm).
5) Turn the foot outwards slightly and slightly tighten the two distal tube clamp screws (approx. 4 Nm).
INFORMATION: After trial fitting, all screws have to be tightened alternately in several steps, increas­
ing the tightening torque slowly until the prescribed tightening torque is reached (section "Technical
data", see Page 96).
