Otto Bock Genium X3 3B5-3 Instructions For Use Manual page 19

CAUTION
Incorrectly secured screws
Falling due to breakage of load-bearing components caused by screw connections coming loose.
► After completing all settings, the set screws in the tube adapter must be secured before they are tightened to
the specified torque (see the section "Technical data" see Page 48).
► The tube clamp screws must not be secured but only tightened to the specified torque.
CAUTION
Incorrect alignment or assembly
Falling due to damage to the prosthesis components.
► Observe the alignment and assembly instructions.
CAUTION
Errors during prosthesis alignment
> Falling due to unexpected product behaviour as the result of a malfunction.
> Falling due to breakage of load-bearing components.
► At maximum flexion, it is essential to maintain a minimum distance of 3 mm (1/8") between the hydraulic unit
and the socket.
► At maximum extension (reached under full load), it is essential to maintain a minimum distance of 5 mm (1/4")
between the sealing sleeve/top edge of the installed Protective Cover and the socket.
► If there is contact between the socket and the joint (hydraulic unit, frame) at maximum flexion, then the joint
must be fitted with a flexion stop (e.g. in the case of voluminous residual limbs).
If contact between the socket and joint (hydraulic unit, frame) occurs anyway at maximum flexion, the socket
has to lie flat on the frame (with the help of soft padding on the socket).
CAUTION
Insufficient insertion depth of the tube adapter
Falling due to breakage of load-bearing components.
► Insert the tube adapter at least 40mm to ensure operational safety.
► The patient must be seated for length adjustments.
