Protective Cover Installation; Checking The Socket After Bench Alignment; Flexion Stop - Otto Bock Genium X3 Instructions For Use Manual

7.1.8 Protective Cover Installation

1) Open the closures.
2) Spread open the Protective Cover.
3) Apply the Protective Cover to the knee joint.
4) Fasten the upper closure.
→ Squeeze the Protective Cover together slightly with both hands.
→ Push back the upper closure with your thumb.
5) Fasten the lower closure.
NOTICE
Loss of stability due to inadequately installed retainers
No hold of the Protective Cover on the knee joint.
► Ensure that all retainers and closures are properly engaged and/or fastened.

7.1.9 Checking the socket after bench alignment

After bench alignment, verify that at maximum extension and maximum flexion the distance from the socket to the
knee joint is not less than the minimum. A collision of the socket with the hydraulics or frame can cause damage to
the knee joint.
INFORMATION
Checking the distance using the adjustment software
Checking the distance between the socket and hydraulics at maximum flexion is also supported by the "X-Soft"
adjustment software starting with version "V1.10". See the online help of the adjustment software for further
information.
Verification at maximum flexion
Verification at maximum extension

7.1.10 Flexion stop

To limit the flexion angle, the knee joint can be equipped with the following flexion stops:
• 4H101 X3 flexion stop: reduction of the maximum flexion angle by 7.5°
• 4H102 X3 flexion stop: reduction of the maximum flexion angle by 15°
• 4H104 X3 flexion stop: reduction of the maximum flexion angle by 22.5°
The flexion stop can be removed to increase the flexion angle. In this case, it must be ensured that the socket and
the hydraulic unit do not collide (see page 31).

If the distance between the socket and hydraulics is not sufficient, the hydraulics
may be damaged. Check the distance as follows:
1) Bring the knee joint with socket to maximum flexion.
2) Check the available distance between the hydraulics and socket. It must be at
least 3 mm.
INFORMATION: If the distance is less, a flexion stop has to be installed or
an existing flexion stop replaced with a larger one. For information on the
flexion stop, see the next section.
If the distance between the socket and sealing sleeve/top edge of the installed pro­
tective cover is not sufficient, the frame may be damaged. Check the distance as fol­
lows:
1) Bring the knee joint with socket to maximum extension.
2) Check the available distance between the sealing sleeve/top edge of the
installed protective cover and socket. It must be at least 5 mm.
