1 Important information The functional scope of products with serial numbers SN 2015 25 XXX and higher, or products that have been serviced or repaired by an authorised Ottobock Service Centre since June 2015, has been extended. Extended functional scope: • Switching to pre-configured MyModes and changing the prosthesis settings by using the remote control or an app for Smartphones (Cockpit 4X441) (see Page 19, see Page 32) •...
Contact information can be found on the back page. ► Please keep this document in a safe place. The product "Genium X3 - Bionic Prosthetic System" is called the product/prosthesis/knee joint/component in the following. These instructions for use provide you with important information on the use, adaptation and handling of the product.
These sensor data are updated and evaluated 100 times per second. As a result, the behaviour of the product is adapted to the current motion situation (gait phase) dynamically and in real time. Thanks to the microprocessor-controlled stance and swing phase, the system can be individually adapted to your needs.

► The knee joint and AXON tube adapter are waterproof and resistant to corrosion. The knee joint and AXON tube adapter can be operated in fresh and salt water. Do not use the knee joint under extreme conditions like diving or jumping into the water. The knee joint and AXON tube adapter are designed for underwater use.
INFORMATION When using exoprosthetic knee joints, servomotor, hydraulic, pneumatic or brake load depend ent control functions can cause movement noise. This kind of noise is normal and unavoidable. It generally does not cause any problems. If movement noise increases noticeably during the lifecycle of the knee joint, the knee joint should be inspected by a prosthetist immediately.
NOTICE Independent changes or modifications carried out to the battery charger Lack of proper charging functionality due to malfunction. ► Have any changes or modifications carried out only by Ottobock authorised, qualified per sonnel. NOTICE Contact of the battery charger with magnetic data storage devices Wiping of the data storage device.
5.7 Information on Use CAUTION Walking up stairs Falling due to foot placed incorrectly on stair as a result of changed damping behaviour. ► Always use the handrail when walking up stairs and place most of the area of the sole of your foot on the stair surface.
CAUTION Improper mode switching Falling due to unexpected behaviour of the product because of changed damping behaviour. ► Ensure that you stand securely during all switching processes. ► Verify the changed damping characteristics after switching and observe the feedback from the acoustic signal emitter.
► If you cannot deactivate safety mode by recharging the battery, a permanent malfunction has occurred. ► Do not continue using the defective product. ► The product must be inspected by an authorised Ottobock Service Centre. The prosthetist is your contact person. CAUTION Safety signal occurs (ongoing vibration) Falling due to unexpected behaviour of the product because of changed damping behaviour.

2) Connect the round, three-pin plug of the power supply to the receptacle on the battery char ger (see fig. 2) so that the plug locks into place. INFORMATION: Ensure correct polarity (guide lug). Do not use force when connecting the cable plug to the battery charger. 3) Plug the power supply unit into the outlet (see fig. 3).
Beep signal Battery charge level 2x short 20% to 40% 1x short less than 20% INFORMATION If the Volume parameter is set to '0' in the Cockpit app or using the remote control (see Page 31) or if mute mode (silent mode) is activated, there are no beep signals. 7.3.2 Display of the current charge level using the Cockpit app Once the cockpit app has been started, the current charge level is displayed in the bottom line of the screen:...
INFORMATION The Cockpit app can be downloaded free of charge from the respective online store. For more information, please visit the website: http://www.ottobock-group.com/cockpitapp. To download the Cockpit app, the QR code on the supplied Bluetooth PIN card can be read with the mobile device (requirement: QR code reader and camera).

9.1.1.1 Stance function INFORMATION To use this function, it must be enabled by the prosthetist. It also has to be activated using the cockpit app or remote control (see Page 32). The stance function (standing mode) is a functional supplement to the basic mode (mode 1). This function makes it easier, for example, to stand on an inclined surface for a longer time.
INFORMATION For covering longer distances, the prosthetist can configure a "Running" MyMode (see Page 28). 9.1.4 Sitting down The resistance in the prosthetic knee joint while sitting down ensures evenly bending into the sitting position. 1) Place both feet side by side at the same level. 2) While sitting down, distribute weight evenly between both legs and use armrests, if available.
9.1.7 Walking up stairs step-over-step INFORMATION To use this function, it must be enabled by the prosthetist. It also has to be activated using the cockpit app or remote control (see Page 32). Although the knee joint is passive, which means it cannot actively initiate movements, negotiating stairs step-over-step is possible.
The stair function can also be used to cross obstacles: 1) Lift the extended prosthesis off the floor. 2) Briefly extend the hip. 3) Quickly flex the hip. This causes the knee to flex. 4) With the knee flexed, step over the obstacle. With sufficient knee flexion, the extension resistance is increased to allow enough time for crossing the obstacle.
The MyModes are intended for specific movement patterns or postures (e.g. inline skating, run ning (jogging) ...). Settings can be adjusted using the cockpit app or remote control (see Page 33). 9.2.1 Running function as configured MyMode For running over longer periods of time, the prosthetist can configure a "Run ning"...

→ A beep and vibration signal will sound to confirm that the movement pattern has been recognised. INFORMATION: If this beep and vibration signal does not sound, the requirements were not observed when bouncing the foot or mute mode (silent mode) is activ ated.
→ A confirmation signal will sound to indicate that the prosthesis has successfully switched over to basic mode. INFORMATION: If this confirmation signal does not sound, the leg with the prosthesis was not correctly kept still or mute mode (silent mode) is activated. Repeat the pro cess to correctly switch to the required mode.
9.3.1 Changing the prosthesis setting using the cockpit app 1) Once the component is connected and in the desired mode, tap the symbol in the main menu. → The navigation menu opens. change 2) Tap the menu entry "Settings". Product →...

2) In the navigation menu, tap the entry "Functions". 3) Tap the entry "Activate Deep Sleep". 4) Follow the on-screen instructions. → The activation of deep sleep mode is indicated by a short beep signal and a short vibration signal, assuming that mute mode (silent mode) is not active. Deactivating deep sleep mode 1) When deep sleep mode is active for the currently connected prosthesis, the Exit deep sleep mode button automatically appears when the Cockpit app is started.
oring knee function, multi-directional movement and walking backward are also possible without risk of stance resistance releasing. Adaptive swing phase control Instantaneous adaptation to varied walking cadences and to changes of the pendular mass (e.g. varying footgear) ensures the knee always achieves the swing flexion target angle within (+/-) one degree.
heating. 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: •...
