Notes On The Safety Modes - Otto Bock Kenevo 3C60 Instructions For Use Manual

CAUTION
Walking down stairs
Falling due to foot being placed incorrectly on stair as a result of changed damping behaviour.
► Inform the patient that the handrail always has to be used when walking down stairs, and that the patient has
to roll over the edge of the step with the middle of the shoe.
► The warnings and error signals have to be observed (see page 99).
► Notify the patient that resistance in the flexion and extension direction can change in case of warnings and
error signals.
► Particular caution is required when carrying children down the stairs.
CAUTION
Overheating of the hydraulic unit due to uninterrupted, increased activity (e.g. extended walking down­
hill)
> Falling due to unexpected behaviour of the product because of switching into overheating mode.
> Burns due to touching overheated components.
► Be sure to pay attention when pulsating vibration signals start. They indicate the risk of overheating.
► As soon as these pulsating vibration signals begin, the activity level has to be reduced so the hydraulic unit
can cool down.
► Full activity may be resumed after the pulsating vibration signals stop.
► If the activity level is not reduced in spite of the pulsating vibration signals, this could lead to the hydraulic ele­
ment overheating and, in extreme cases, cause damage to the product. In this case, the product should be
inspected by an authorised Ottobock Service Centre.
CAUTION
Overloading due to unusual activities
> Falling due to unexpected product behaviour as the result of a malfunction.
> Falling due to breakage of load-bearing components.
> Skin irritation due to defects on the hydraulic unit with leakage of liquid.
► The product was developed for everyday use and should not be used for walking speeds over 3 km/h or
unusual activities. These unusual activities include, for example, extreme sports (free climbing, parachuting,
paragliding, etc.).
► Careful handling of the product and its components not only increases their service life but, above all, ensures
the patient's personal safety!
► If the product and its components have been subjected to extreme loads (e.g. due to a fall, etc.), then the
product must be inspected for damage immediately. If necessary, forward the product to an authorised
Ottobock Service Centre.
CAUTION
Incorrect switching between "Bicycle ergometer" MyMode/"Basic mode"
Falling due to unexpected product behaviour because of changed damping behaviour.
► Ensure that the patient is sitting on the bicycle ergometer during all switching processes.
► Inform the patient that the signals that indicate switching to the MyMode and to basic mode have to be
observed.
► Switching back to basic mode is mandatory once the activities in the MyMode have been completed.
► Correct the switching or use the Cockpit app if necessary.
► Inform the patient that verifying whether the chosen mode corresponds to the desired movement type is
always required before taking the first step/making the first movement.

4.9 Notes on the safety modes

CAUTION
Using the product in safety mode
Falling due to unexpected product behaviour because of changed damping behaviour.
► The warnings/error signals (see page 99) have to be observed.
