12.3 Glossary
The term "Axon" stands for Adaptive exchange of neuroplacement data. The Axon-Bus is an
Ottobock innovation for the field of exoprosthetics: a data transmission system, derived from
safety-related bus systems in the aviation and automobile industries. For the user this means
enhanced safety and reliability because of a considerably reduced sensitivity to electromagnetic
interference in comparison with conventional systems.

Electromagnetic environment directive
The product uses HF energy exclusively for its
internal functioning. Its HF emissions are
therefore very low, and interference with neigh
bouring electronic devices is unlikely.
