Information On Use - Otto Bock Genium X3 Instructions For Use Manual

Safety
CAUTION
Proximity to sources of strong magnetic or electrical interference (e.g. theft prevention systems, metal
detectors)
Falling due to unexpected behaviour of the product caused by interference with internal data communication.
► Ensure that the patient is not in the vicinity of sources of strong magnetic and electrical interference during tri­
al fitting (such as theft prevention systems, metal detectors...).
If this cannot be avoided, ensure at least that the patient has a safeguard when walking or standing (e.g. a
handrail or the support of another person).
► In general, monitor the product for unexpected changes in the damping behaviour when electronic or magnet­
ic devices are in the immediate vicinity.
CAUTION
Entering a room or area with strong magnetic fields (e.g. magnetic resonance tomographs, MRT (MRI)
equipment...)
> Falling due to unexpected restriction of the product's range of motion caused by metallic objects adhering to
the magnetised components.
> Irreparable damage to the product due to the effect of strong magnetic fields.
► Make sure that the patient takes off the product before entering the room or area and stores the product out­
side this room or area.
► Damage to the product caused by exposure to strong magnetic fields cannot be repaired.
CAUTION
Remaining in areas outside the allowable temperature range
Falling due to malfunction or the breakage of load-bearing product components.
► Ensure that the patient is not in areas outside the permissible temperature range (see page 51) during trial fit­
ting.

4.8 Information on Use

CAUTION
Walking up 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 up stairs, and that most of the sole of
the foot has to be set onto the stair surface.
► Particular caution is required when carrying children up the stairs.
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 55).
► 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.
