4.3 General safety instructions

CAUTION
Non-observance of safety instructions
Personal injury/damage to the product due to using the product in certain situations.
► Observe the safety instructions and the stated precautions in this accompanying document.
CAUTION
Signs of wear on system components
Injury due to faulty control or malfunction of the Axon-Bus prosthetic system.
► In the interest of user safety and in order to maintain the operational reliability and the validity of the warranty,
the specified service intervals must be observed.
CAUTION
Operator errors during the adjustment procedure
Injury due to faulty control of the Axon-Bus prosthesis system.
► Participation in an Ottobock product training course is mandatory prior to using the product. During product
training, you will receive a password which provides you with authorisation to access the 560X500=* AxonSoft
software. To qualify for software updates, additional product training courses may be necessary.
► Do not share your unlock PIN.
► Use the online help which is integrated into the software.
CAUTION
Independent manipulation of Axon-Bus components
Injury due to faulty control or malfunction of the Axon-Bus prosthetic system.
► Manipulations to the Axon-Bus prosthetic system other than the tasks described in these instructions for use
are not permitted.
► Do not damage the battery or separate the connection cables between the battery packs.
► The Axon-Bus prosthetic system and any damaged Axon-Bus components may only be opened and/or
repaired by certified Ottobock Myo-Service technicians.
CAUTION
Incorrect electrode settings
Injury due to faulty control or malfunction of the product.
► The electrodes are to be placed on intact skin only and with as much electrode-skin contact as possible. In
the case of strong interference from electronic devices, the position of the electrodes should be checked and
changed if necessary. If the interference cannot be eliminated or if you do not achieve the expected results by
adjustment or selection of the appropriate control programme, please contact Ottobock Myo-Service.
► Set the electrode gains as low as possible to reduce the risk of malfunctioning due to strong electromagnetic
radiation (e.g. visible or concealed theft prevention systems at the entrance/exit of stores, metal detect­
ors/body scanners for persons (e.g. in airports) or other sources of strong electromagnetic interference (e.g.
high-voltage lines, transmitters, transformer stations, computer tomographs, magnetic resonance tomo­
graphs, etc.).
► Allow the patient to rest during the adjustment of the electrodes; otherwise, muscle fatigue will lead to incon­
sistent results. As a result, the therapist will tend to set the electrode gains too high.
